MCP and the Agentic Web Revolution in Asia
Certified update from the protocol ecosystem
๐ Asia: The Fastest Growing Agentic Web Ecosystem
Nowhere is the Agentic Web evolving faster than in Asia.
In China alone, 2024-2025 has seen a massive boom of LLM-powered agents:
- ๐ผ WeChat AI agents (ๅพฎไฟกAIๆบ่ฝไฝ), now integrated into millions of public and private mini-programs.
- ๐ Baidu ERNIE bots powering advanced search, knowledge and e-commerce services.
- ๐๏ธ Alibaba Tongyi Qianwen (้ไนๅ้ฎ) used across retail, logistics, and customer service.
- ๐บ Douyin AI Hosts (ๆ้ณๆบ่ฝไธปๆญ) reshaping content and entertainment.
- ๐ฌ XiaoHongShu (ๅฐ็บขไนฆ) experimenting with AI-enhanced communities and influencer ecosystems.
Across Asia:
- ๐ฐ๐ท Kakao Brain is building conversational agents across Koreaโs leading platforms.
- ๐ฐ๐ท Samsung Gauss is powering new device-level AI agents.
- ๐ฏ๐ต LINE is integrating AI agents into messaging and e-commerce.
- ๐ฏ๐ต Open-source agentic projects are gaining momentum among Japanese AI developers.
๐ The Interoperability Challenge
But as the ecosystem grows, so do its risks:
- Each platform is building closed agents with proprietary APIs.
- Data and contexts are locked inside ecosystems.
- No universal mechanism exists for trust, verification or agent portability.
This creates fragmentation โ and risks holding back the true potential of the Agentic Web.
๐ง How MCP Can Help
The Model Context Protocol (MCP) offers an open, simple solution:
โ
Define agent contexts in a standard, portable way.
โ
Sign and verify agent feeds for trust and provenance.
โ
Enable agents to communicate across platforms and services.
โ
Build an agentic web of trust where users can know what agents do โ and who is behind them.
๐ Why a Well-Known Approach Matters
MCP leverages a well-known pattern:
- Static files or active endpoints served from
.well-known/
directories on websites. - Designed to be easy to discover by any LLM or agent.
- No API keys, no OAuth โ just open and inspectable metadata.
This is crucial for Asiaโs agent-driven platforms:
- Agents can instantly identify trusted sites and services.
- LLMs can "crawl" the Agentic Web in a verifiable way.
- It enables transparent interoperability โ with no gatekeeping.
๐ Signatures, Certifications, and Trust
Trust is essential:
- Who authored this feed?
- Was it tampered with?
- Can this agent be trusted in my ecosystem?
MCP supports:
- Cryptographic signatures of agent feeds and content.
- Certification levels to establish trust anchors (via authorities like
llmca.org
). - Transparency: signatures and certifications are visible to both LLMs and human users.
In Asiaโs complex regulatory landscape, this offers:
- Auditable trust for users, platforms and regulators.
- A way to align with evolving AI governance frameworks.
- A path to trusted cross-platform agents โ vital for large ecosystems.
๐ Scaling the Agentic Web: From Pioneers to Mass Adoption
To reach mass adoption, tools matter.
Projects like LLMFeedForge enable:
- Anyone to generate MCP-compliant feeds.
- Sites to easily expose
.well-known/
metadata. - Agents to leave "breadcrumbs" โ discoverable traces for other LLMs to follow.
Just like:
- RSS seeded the Blogosphere.
- Sitemaps enabled better SEO.
- Schema.org structured the semantic web.
We can now create a parallel web of agentic feeds โ one that agents can:
โ
discover
โ
verify
โ
consume
โ
build upon
๐ธ๏ธ From LLMFeedForge to MCP-Net: The Vision
Imagine an MCP-Net:
- A network of sites and services that expose their agentic intents and capabilities.
- Indexed and discoverable โ like Google Search Console for agents.
- With certification layers โ so LLMs can choose who to trust.
This is not theory โ itโs happening now:
- LLMFeedForge already enables generation of MCP feeds.
- wellknownmcp.org is defining the standards.
- Tools are emerging to help mass adoption.
๐ค A Call to Developers and Platforms
We invite all developers, researchers, and platforms in China, Korea, Japan and across Asia to:
โ
Explore the MCP Specification.
โ
Join the WellKnownMCP.org community.
โ
Help shape extensions for local needs (multi-language, regulatory, platform integration).
โ
Contribute to open-source tools and reference implementations.
โ
Experiment with LLMFeedForge to seed the Agentic Web.
๐ The Vision: A Truly Global, Trusted Agentic Web
If Asiaโs Agentic Web pioneers adopt open standards:
- Their agents will be understood and trusted worldwide.
- Cross-border collaboration will thrive.
- Asiaโs platforms can set the gold standard for the next generation of the web.
Letโs build bridges โ not silos.
