Halfway through each month, our newsletter for developers: The Dev Times, brings three reads that our own developers found interesting on the web, and two Transloadit updates that may interest you.

WebMCP – structured interactions for the agentic web

WebMCP – structured interactions for the agentic web

Google Chrome has recently introduced the Web Model Context Protocol (WebMCP) to better support the browsing capabilities of AI agents. Instead of relying on slow, error-prone screenshots, websites can now expose structured tools directly to agents via the model context. As we move toward a world in which the internet is shared between autonomous agents and regular users, it's important for developers to have the tools at their disposal that can accommodate this new wave of traffic. By defining inputs and actions, developers can ensure that agents interact with their sites with 98% accuracy and significantly lower latency than before. Dive in ›

Improve global upload performance with R2 Local Uploads

Improve global upload performance with R2 Local Uploads

Latency is the enemy of a great user experience, especially when uploading files. With that in mind, Cloudflare has released a new local upload capability for R2 into open beta, allowing developers to persist data closer to the user before asynchronously syncing to the global bucket. This "local-first" approach for object storage significantly reduces the time-to-first-byte and provides a more resilient architecture for high-traffic applications. Read more ›

Design In The Browser

Design In The Browser

Our very own Transloadian Peter Assentorp was tired of describing UI changes to AI, so he built "Design In The Browser". This tool lets you point at any element on your website, describe what change you want to make, and it will directly send a prompt with your request and surrounding context to Claude Code or Gemini. Design In The Browser bridges the gap between visual intent and code execution, allowing for a rapid iteration loop that feels less like prompting and more like direct manipulation. No more endless explaining what you mean. Just click it. Try it out ›

Convex + Transloadit

Convex + Transloadit

We just shipped @transloadit/convex on npm, a new Convex integration for Transloadit that gives a native feel to uploads, file processing, and webhooks. It includes a ready-to-run demo app, documentation on how to combine it with the Uppy file uploader, and simple server-side helpers to keep secrets off the client and avoid request tampering. Enjoy fast and resumable file uploading, video encoding, AI recognition, and a user interface that updates in real time. Get started ›

Transloadit MCP Server – agent-native uploads and processing

Transloadit MCP Server – agent-native uploads and processing

Agents are already good at working with text. File pipelines are where things tend to fall apart. What people actually want is simpler: "take this video and turn it into HLS", "make web-ready image variants", "OCR this PDF and give me structured text", "generate thumbnails", "export everything to S3". Those are all things Transloadit is already good at. The MCP server is how you hand that toolbox to an agent, so it can run real media workflows from natural language. Today, we're shipping the Transloadit MCP Server, an MCP integration that lets agents upload files, create Assemblies, discover Templates, and fetch results from Transloadit. Learn more ›
