Why This Search Exists

Without access to the live session, assistants are limited to screenshots, notes, and logs, which weakens browser-heavy investigations.

Teams need browser-aware MCP that connects to the real session instead of a detached environment.

Recommended Approach

A local MCP setup tied to the real browser session lets assistants inspect pages, capture snapshots, and navigate within the same account context.

iatlas-browser supports this through a shared runtime used by CLI, MCP, and the localhost daemon.

Key Takeaways

  • Support triage benefits from shared browser context.
  • MCP is strongest when it reaches the real local session.
  • A shared runtime reduces setup and handoff friction.
  • Hosted APIs complement this with public retrieval only.

Fast Start

  1. Connect the assistant to the local runtime via MCP.
  2. Use browser-aware tools during a real triage workflow.
  3. Capture the useful steps for reuse.
  4. Keep public-source research on the hosted layer.

Move from research to implementation by choosing the correct boundary: local runtime for real-session work, hosted API for public-safe retrieval.
