AI2Web features

  • Single capability manifest. Define site capabilities once at /ai2w and reuse across all supported protocols.
  • Multi-protocol support. Projects the manifest to MCP, ACP, REST, GraphQL, OpenAPI, NLWeb and more.
  • Discovery & validation. Automatic /.well-known/ai2w anchor and AI readiness score out of 100.
  • Governance & safety. Built-in consent, OAuth2 + PKCE, SSRF guard and preview for high-risk actions.
  • SDKs & extensions. Native SDKs for TypeScript, Python, PHP, Go, .NET, Ruby and a WordPress plugin and Chrome extension.
  • Agent connector. Single MCP endpoint lets assistants discover and act on any AI-ready site without per-site setup.

Pipelex features

  • Declarative MTHDS language. Write typed AI methods in a Dockerfile/SQL-like syntax that defines steps, inputs, and outputs.
  • Agent plugins. Claude Code and Codex plugins let agents design, run, and save methods directly from the IDE.
  • Multi-environment execution. Run methods as a chatbot MCP, a webapp, or via API/CLI on any infrastructure.
  • Open standard runtime. Pipelex runtime executes methods locally or in Docker, handling model routing and structured output.
  • SDKs and integrations. TypeScript (@pipelex/sdk) and Python (pipelex-sdk) clients generate typed calls to the Pipelex API.
  • VS Code extension. Provides syntax highlighting, linting, and formatting for .mthds files.
