谷歌Chrome深夜爆更,Agent不用「装」人了,前端最后防线崩了?
3 6 Ke· 2026-02-11 04:12
今天,谷歌Chrome团队投下了一枚深水炸弹:WebMCP(Web模型上下文协议)正式登场。 它可以让AI智能体跳过「人类用户界面」,直接与现有的网站和Web应用深度交互。 在Chrome 146的早期预览版中,开启特定flag即可体验WebMCP 这相当于给Agent加上了「超能力」,从此不用再「装得像个人一样」,去看网页、找按钮,或是点链接。 仅通过一个API:navigator.modelContext,AI便可绕过图形界面,直接与Web应用服务的内核对话。 假设想要订一张机票,Agent不用在屏幕上点击,而会直接通过底层协议,向航空公司网站发送命令,直接获取结果。 用开发者Alex Volkov的话来说,「WebMCP就相当于UI里的API」。 可以说,WebMCP的诞生,释放了一个极其明确的信号—— AI Agent与网页交互的底层逻辑,正迎来一场彻底的重塑。 它实现了从「视觉模拟」到「逻辑直连」的跃迁,正让传统的Web交互范式彻底走向终结。 WebMCP震撼登场 掀起Agent交互革命 或许很多人,还没有意识到WebMCP的重要性。 它的核心在于,改变了Agent获取服务的方式,让其直接拿到了网页 ...
