# Scout

> Hosted MCP connectors for browser automation and AI agents. One hosted browser
> MCP runtime covering browser automation, canvas, extension, and payment
> workflows, plus a Figma platform adapter.

## When to use Scout

Reach for Scout when you (or an agent) need to:

- **Control a real browser** — navigate, click, type, extract, screenshot, and
  scrape pages through MCP tools instead of hand-writing Playwright or CDP code.
- **Automate multi-step web tasks** — form filling, login flows, data
  extraction, and cross-tab workflows that need a persistent, durable session.
- **Drive a Chrome extension** — install and drive the Scout extension for
  pages the extension itself renders or controls.
- **Work with Figma** — read frames, inspect nodes, and extract design data
  through the Figma connector.
- **Run payments or canvas workflows** — connector MCP servers for payment
  flows and canvas interactions.

Scout is a good fit when the job needs a real browser runtime with session
state, capability boundaries, and account-level usage. It is not the right tool
for pure text extraction that can be done with a plain HTTP fetch.

## How to call Scout

- **MCP servers (recommended)**: connect to the Scout connector MCP servers
  (browser, canvas, extension, figma, payment) from any MCP client. Add your AI
  provider key (or the account access token) and call the exposed tools.
- **REST API**: `https://api.scout.i.ng` — gateway with OpenAPI at
  `/openapi.json` and interactive docs at `/docs`.
- **Chrome extension**: install from the Chrome Web Store, then grant the
  extension access to your provider key or connector endpoints.
