What is String?

String gives AI agents one surface for apps, websites, local documents, files, APIs and shell sessions. Websites can expose navigation and actions in Markdown so agents use them like apps, and ordinary pages open as clean Markdown. Agents learn three commands (/open, /act and /info) and String runs as a CLI, a daemon or a single MCP tool.

Pros: what String does well

  • One small set of commands for many kinds of tools
  • Turns web pages into clean Markdown for agents
  • MIT licensed, usable as a single MCP tool

Cons: where it falls short

  • Early project with a small app catalogue
  • Sites need String support for full actions

Who String is for

Developers building agents that need to use websites and apps reliably.

Who can skip it
