What you get

MCP Server	AI agent tools for browser control, workflow execution, and knowledge pack access. Stdio and SSE transports.
REST API	Trigger workflows remotely from webhooks, cron jobs, mobile apps, or other agents.
Workflow Engine	AI workflow automation with browser, git, issue-tracking, LLM, shell, and control-flow steps. Define agentic workflows in YAML.
Knowledge Packs	Installable domain knowledge — CSS selectors, data models, state machines. Role playbooks turn coding agents into an AI software engineer, QA, or PM.
Chrome Extension	Browser commands with real DOM access via WebSocket, not screenshots. Recording mode.
Dashboard	Svelte UI — workflow browser, run logs, skill pack manager, system status.
