-**Make your site agent-ready with one script tag.** webmcpx registers standard
+**Make your site agent-ready in two steps.** 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.
 
+**Step 1, on your site.** Paste this before `</body>`:
+
 ```html
-<script type="module" src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/webmcpx/src/auto.js"></script>
+<script type="module" src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/webmcpx@0.2/src/auto.js"></script>
+```
+
+**Step 2, in your agent.** Give your agent the WebMCP tools of every page it opens (the ChatGPT desktop
+app and the Codex app skip this step: they call WebMCP tools natively):
+
+```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="add_to_cart" tooldescription="Add a product to the cart by SKU." action="/cart" method="post" toolautosubmit>
+  <input name="sku" required toolparamdescription="Product SKU, e.g. MUG-01">
+  <input name="qty" type="number" min="1" toolparamdescription="How many (default 1)">
+  <button>Add to cart</button>
+</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`.
