Comment on Show HN: Persona.js – a vanilla-JS agent UI library with native WebMCP (MIT)

Comments

Nathan here from Runtype - I worked closely with @becomevocal on this library. Here to answer questions!

My personal favorite demo is this JSPaint + WebMCP one https://www.persona-chat.dev/webmcp-paint.html

But more practical examples include: https://www.persona-chat.dev/webmcp-slides.html https://www.persona-chat.dev/webmcp-calendar.html

WebMCP's finally at a point where it makes sense to build against it (shipped in latest chrome + good polyfills available), and I've found it a pretty elegant way to extend existing FE apps by just hooking into your existing FE functions instead of having to build an AI assistant as a parallel thing that is ignorant of the user's session, what they're looking at, etc. This makes hybrid AI/app experiences feel much better.
