Why This Search Exists

Without access to the live browser, browser-related triage becomes guesswork. The assistant can reason about code, but not about the state where the issue appears.

The value of browser MCP comes from practical access to the real session, not from abstract tool availability.

Recommended Approach

A local runtime exposed through MCP lets the assistant use structured browser tools against the same browser context the engineer already has open.

iatlas-browser enables this with one shared runtime across CLI, MCP, and localhost APIs.

Key Takeaways

  • Triage benefits from shared browser context.
  • MCP is strongest when it points to the real local session.
  • Shared runtime design reduces friction across interfaces.
  • Hosted APIs stay separate from live debugging work.

Fast Start

  1. Start the local runtime during the triage session.
  2. Connect the assistant via MCP.
  3. Use snapshots and browser-aware commands on the live tab.
  4. Keep public page 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.
