Pomerado launches a tool that turns websites into agent MCPs
Original title: Launch HN: Pomerado (YC F26) – Turn any website into an MCP for agents
The YC F26 startup offers an MIT open-source build and a free hosted version that emit deterministic MCPs after one exploration run.
Alan and Akshay launched Pomerado, a self-serve platform that turns websites without APIs into deterministic Model Context Protocol tools for agents. A coding agent explores a site once with HTTP requests or Playwright, then a publication step emits a repeatable schema; a Guardian model reviews calls against guardrails. Hosted sessions run in Pomerado's browser; the open-source version uses a local browser. Founders say sign-in is handed to a deterministic process so recorders do not read credentials, and failed runs trigger a maintenance job.
Unconfirmed: Speed, reliability, and customer-use claims are from the founders and are not independently verified.
- Founders say tool calls usually return in 5-30 seconds after the first run.
- Users can store TOTP seeds or link a Pomerado phone number for 2FA autofill.
- Cited users include a personal trainer, car dealerships connecting Grok bots, and personal assistants.
- A commenter asked whether hosted logins and page text create credential and prompt-injection risk.
