-# Temporary Holding Version
+# webmcpx
 
-This version is a temporary placeholder for this package. An operational version to replace this has been submitted for review and is awaiting a staged release.
+**Make your site agent-ready with one script tag.** webmcpx registers standard
+[WebMCP](https://webmachinelearning.github.io/webmcp/) tools on any page, so AI agents in the browser
+call a function instead of reading and clicking through the page.
+
+```html
+<script type="module" src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/webmcpx@0.2/src/auto.js"></script>
+```
+
+**See it work in any agent, today.** Give your coding agent the WebMCP tools of every page it opens:
+
+```sh
+claude mcp add webmcpx -- npx -y webmcpx mcp     # Codex: codex mcp add webmcpx -- npx -y webmcpx mcp
+```
+
+Then ask it about any site. No browser flag: the agent's browser gets the
+[W3C WebMCP polyfill](https://github.com/w3c-oss/webmcp-polyfill) before the page loads, so the site's own
+tools work too, and every page gets the standard tools below. Check your own site, localhost included:
+
+```sh
+npx webmcpx tools localhost:3000
+npx webmcpx call localhost:3000 search_page '{"query": "pricing"}'
+```
+
+The ChatGPT desktop app's browser and Codex also [call WebMCP tools](https://learn.chatgpt.com/docs/webmcp)
+natively; in Chrome, turn on `chrome://flags/#enable-webmcp-testing` and open DevTools › Application › WebMCP.
+
+## Your own tools
+
+The standard tools read the page. Your own tools act: add to cart, book a table, filter results. Same
+contract (checked input, one result shape, no silent failures), in five lines:
+
+```js
+import { tool } from "webmcpx";
+
+tool({
+  name: "add_to_cart",
+  description: "Add a product to the cart by SKU.",
+  input: { sku: "string", "qty?": "integer" },
+  acts: true,
+  run: ({ sku, qty = 1 }) => cart.add(sku, qty),
+});
+```
+
+No JavaScript? A form with `toolname` is a tool: the WebMCP
+[declarative API](https://github.com/webmachinelearning/webmcp/blob/main/declarative-api-explainer.md), which
+the script tag adds where the browser doesn't have it yet. With `toolautosubmit`, your submit handler gets
+`event.agentInvoked` and can answer with `event.respondWith(...)`.
+
+```html
+<form toolname="search_flights" tooldescription="Search flights by route and date." action="/search">
+  <input name="from" required toolparamdescription="Departure airport, e.g. GRU">
+  <input name="to" required toolparamdescription="Arrival airport, e.g. LIS">
+  <input name="date" type="date" required>
+</form>
+```
+
+In a component, `useTool(...)` from `webmcpx/react` (16.8+), `webmcpx/vue` (2.7+) or `webmcpx/svelte` (3+)
+registers it while the component is mounted. Then see it, no browser flag: `npx webmcpx tools localhost:3000`.
+
+Or from npm (`npm i webmcpx`):
+
+```js
+import { register } from "webmcpx";
+
+const { registered, dispose } = await register({
+  // Optional: also expose your backend search as `search_site`.
+  searchSite: async (query, { limit }) => (await fetch(`/api/search?q=${query}&n=${limit}`)).json(),
+});
+```
+
+| Tool | What the agent gets |
+|---|---|
+| `get_page_context` | Title, URL, language, meta description, heading outline, the user's selection |
+| `search_page` | BM25-ranked passages of the main content, each linked to its section |
+| `fetch_as_markdown` | The main content as Markdown, paged with `cursor` |
+| `search_site` | Your site search, with limits and a uniform result shape (when `searchSite` is given) |
+
+- **One result shape.** Every tool resolves with `{ ok, data, truncated?, next_cursor?, hint? }` or
+  `{ ok: false, error: { code, message, retryable }, hint? }`.
+- **Output budgets and paging.** Results stay within about 2,000 characters by default.
+- **Annotations set for you:** `readOnlyHint` and `untrustedContentHint`.
+- **Invisible characters stripped** from page text.
+- **A no-op where WebMCP is missing.** Uses `document.modelContext`, with a `navigator.modelContext`
+  fallback.
+- **About 3.2 KB brotli on page load.** The WebAssembly engine loads on the first tool call.
+
+`npx webmcpx --help` shows the setup for Cursor, VS Code and Windsurf, `--headed` to watch the browser and
+`--cdp <url>` to use your own. Needs Node 22+ and Chrome, Chromium, Edge or Brave.
+
+Check your own tools with the [`webmcpx` linter](https://crates.io/crates/webmcpx), and scan any site at
+[webmcpx.dev](https://webmcpx.dev).
