Chrome

Discover AI agents and MCP servers directly from Google Chrome or any Chromium-based browser (Edge, Brave, Opera, etc.). The Akto Security extension captures agent interactions in real-time as you browse.

What Extension Captures

The Chrome extension monitors:

• AI agent API calls and responses

• MCP server interactions

• Tool invocations and parameters

• Authentication tokens and headers

• Request/response payloads

All captured data is sent securely to your Akto instance for analysis.

The extension only captures traffic when actively enabled and only sends data to your configured Akto instance. You have full control over what gets monitored.
