MCP server
A companion MCP (Model Context Protocol) server lets an AI client drive the launcher through this API plus a profile's browser over CDP. It is a separate Node process; not part of this HTTP API and not hosted by it. Get it from the launcher (Settings โ MCP server โ Download MCP server, or the sidebar "Download MCP" button), which saves the source to a folder you choose; or from the repo at rust/shardx-launcher/mcp/.
Under the hood it just calls this API: configure it with SHARDX_API (this base URL) and SHARDX_TOKEN (the Bearer token from Settings โ Automation API). It exposes:
- API tools; thin wrappers over the endpoints below (profiles, fingerprints, proxies, folders, cookies, start/stop).
- Browser tools (patchright over CDP);
browser_navigate,browser_evaluate,browser_screenshot,browser_click,browser_fill, tabs, waits, etc., targeting a profile started viaPOST /profiles/{id}/start(which returns the CDP endpoint).
Run it standalone over stdio (the client spawns it) or, with MCP_HTTP_PORT set, over HTTP at 127.0.0.1:<port>/mcp. See the MCP server's README for setup. (The launcher only downloads it; it does not run it.)
