19 of 19 tools

Documented tools (19)

From project documentation. A server handshake does not verify each tool’s description or behavior.

browser_curl

Send HTTP requests through an existing browser session's Chrome network stack.

computer_action

Mouse, keyboard, clipboard, and screenshot controls for browser sessions (click, type, presskey, scroll, move, getposition, readclipboard, writeclipboard, screenshot).

exec_command

Run shell commands inside a browser VM. Returns decoded stdout/stderr.

execute_playwright_code

Execute Playwright/TypeScript code against an existing browser session. Does not create or delete browsers - use managebrowsers for session lifecycle.

get_connection_context

Inspect the authenticated principal, organization, credential scope, and effective project scope.

manage_api_keys

Create, list, get, update, and delete org-wide or project-scoped API keys. Create returns the plaintext key once.

manage_apps

List/search apps, invoke actions, get/list/delete deployments, and get invocation results.

manage_auth_connections

Create, list, get, delete, login, submit, and wait for managed-auth connections in every client. Use domain-filtered list for discovery. App-capable clients additionally receive openauthlogin; the programmatic actions remain available there too.

manage_browser_pools

Create, list, get, delete, and flush pools of pre-warmed browsers. Acquire and release browsers from pools.

manage_browsers

Create, update, list, get, and delete browser sessions, and read archived telemetry for active or deleted sessions. Supports headless/stealth modes, profiles, proxies, viewports, extensions, and SSH tunneling.

manage_credential_providers

Create, list, get, update, and delete external credential providers (e.g. 1Password); list available items and test the provider connection.

manage_credentials

Create, list, get, update, and delete stored credentials; fetch a current TOTP code for credentials with a configured totpsecret.

manage_extensions

List and delete uploaded browser extensions.

manage_profiles

Setup (with guided live browser session), search/list with pagination, get, and delete browser profiles for persisting cookies and logins.

manage_projects

Create, list, get, update, and delete organization projects. Inspect and update per-project resource limits.

manage_proxies

Create, list, get, check, and delete proxy configurations (datacenter, ISP, residential, mobile, custom).

manage_replays

Start, stop, and list MP4 video replay recordings for a browser session. Session-scoped: start once, run your automation, then stop. Requires a paid Kernel plan.

open_auth_login

Open a secure interactive Managed Auth MCP App after user consent. Registered only for clients that declare MCP Apps support; credentials and MFA never enter MCP/model traffic.

search_docs

Search Kernel platform documentation and guides.
