Tim said "Let's work on WebMCP for Drupal"
I hadn't head of WebMCP, but now I'm mildly fascinated by the possibilities.
I was chatting with my good friend Tim O’Driscoll (who always has good ideas) and he said, "Mark, you know what would be good to work on?".
I said, "Stop keeping me in suspense, Tim". So he said, "WebMCP for Drupal".
I hadn't heard of WebMCP at this stage, so I went and did some research. Then I thought, "Tim's right, this would be cool to work on".
So I have now created Drupal's first WebMCP module to add WebMCP attributes to the user login/password/create forms so AI Agents will find it easier to interact with them - https://www.drupal.org/project/webmcp_user_forms.
A one-sentence summary of WebMCP: it turns your website into an MCP-enabled application so AI assistants can read context and perform scoped actions on that site (without you needing to create an MCP).

I send an email once a week with something nice, something quirky, and something else that I think is interesting (all with a web development theme, of course).
