Unified Endpoint. One URL routes requests to any browser provider with automatic failover.
Multiple Routing Strategies. Priority chain, round-robin, least-connections, latency-optimized, weighted distribution.
Persistent Encrypted Profiles. Cookies, localStorage, IndexedDB saved per profile and replayable across providers.
Session Replay & Recording. Full timeline replay and MP4 video export with configurable retention.
MCP Server for AI Agents. Eight built-in browser tools (navigate, screenshot, interact, etc.) for Claude Code, Cursor and any MCP client.
Request Queue & Concurrency Limits. FIFO queue when providers are busy and per-provider concurrency caps.
Webhooks & Health Monitoring. Notify on provider status changes, queue overflows, and health probe results.

Zero-storage architecture. Tool calls fetch data directly from source APIs; no data is cached or stored.
Authorization-first access. All tools require explicit customer authorization before they become callable.
Bi-directional actions. Agents can read and write data (e.g., update records) where the integration supports it.
Unified auth handling. OAuth, API-key flows, token refresh and optional embedded sign-in UI are provided out of the box.
Tool discovery controls. Scope available tools to fit model limits and reduce surface area.
SDKs & language support. Client SDKs for TypeScript, Python, PHP, Java, C#, Ruby, Go and UI components for React, Vue, Angular, JS.
Embedded security boundaries. Each connection defines isolated access, with read/write, object and action restrictions.
Virtual & native webhooks. Unlimited webhook subscriptions with virtual polling for systems lacking native webhooks.
