Why it matters

No specification defines a WebMCP manifest and no agent reads one. This checkpoint is retired. Old reports still show it.

How to fix it

Use WebMCP form annotations or registerTool() instead of a manifest.

  1. Remove /.well-known/webmcp.json and annotate the forms on the page.

Verify
