Microsoft and partners are developing an open toolkit to enhance web content with natural language interfaces through the Model Context Protocol (MCP). MCP standardizes information access, simplifying the addition of AI features to existing applications. The initiative aims to create interfaces that support voice and text inputs, improving accessibility and enabling machine-to-machine interactions. Announced during Build 2025, the NLWeb project is platform-agnostic and designed to enhance navigation experiences while integrating with various AI models and data tools. The goal is to create a more interconnected AI-driven web experience.
Technologies like Model Context Protocol (MCP) are reshaping both how we build AI-powered applications and what we can do with them. MCP makes it easier to add AI features to existing code and services.
MCP may be the equivalent of HTTP for interconnected AI applications. Microsoft has made a big bet on the evolving protocol to provide real-world uses for AI.
One of the more interesting approaches is intended to standardize building natural language interfaces for websites and web applications, providing a new level of accessibility.
NLWeb is an open project intended to run alongside existing web properties, allowing the use of any model to add voice and text inputs that go beyond basic click-based navigation.
