Build a profile your way
Each browser is a profile you set up three ways: with your AI over MCP, through the API, or by hand in the console. Logins are one thing it remembers — so agents come back to the same accounts instead of signing in again.
MCP browser fleet
Give your AI agents a browser fleet
Give each agent its own browser profile — build it your way: with your AI, the API, or by hand. It keeps its logins, state, and personality across every run.
Quickstart commandcopy
curl -LsSf https://get.shade.atlas-ai.au/install | shWith your AI over MCP
With the API REST
By hand in the console
One command installs it and signs you in with GitHub or Google — no API key to copy, no card. Your logins, fingerprint personality, and session state then persist across every agent run.
Fleet primitives
Built for agents that return to the same work.
Your agents come back to real browsers that are already logged in, with a visible console and a human who can step in without tearing down the run.
Save, load, and clone sessions
Agents can pause a logged-in workflow, resume it later, or clone a prepared browser state into another slot without starting from a blank browser.
Opt-in anti-detect personality
Fingerprint personality is opt-in and explicit. Shade does not promise bypass magic, CAPTCHA solving, or residential proxies.
IP, DNS, and WebRTC leak checks
Run a slot-level health check before giving an agent sensitive work. Surface mismatched egress, resolver, and WebRTC exposure early.
Live fleet console with takeover
See every running slot in one console, step into a session when an agent gets stuck, and hand control back without breaking the MCP connection.
Synthetic action view
The live fleet console reconstructs what agents are doing from structured events, so supervisors can track many slots without streaming every page tree through the model.
Live console
See what your agents are doing
The console shows you what happened in plain terms — clicks, navigations, downloads, takeovers — not raw page data.
