Safari

Discover AI agents and MCP servers directly from Safari on macOS. The Akto Safari extension captures agent interactions in real-time as you browse.

What Extension Captures

The Safari 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.

Privacy & Security

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.

Deployment using ZIP File

Prerequisites

  • Safari on macOS (Ventura 13 or higher recommended)

  • The Akto Security extension ZIP file

  • The extension app bundle (extracted from the ZIP file)

Contact the Akto support team for the required extension ZIP file.

Steps

1

Get the Extension Files

  • Download the extension package you received

  • If it's a ZIP file, extract it to a folder on your computer

  • Remember where you saved the .app bundle

2

Move the App to Applications

  • Move the extracted .app bundle to your /Applications folder

  • Launch the app once so macOS registers it

3

Enable Safari Developer Mode

Open Safari and enable developer features:

  1. Click Safari in the menu bar → Settings

The Develop menu will now appear in the Safari menu bar.

Allow Unsigned Extensions

This setting resets every time Safari is quit. You will need to re-enable it each time you restart Safari until the extension is distributed through the App Store.

5

  1. Click Safari → Settings

  2. Open the Extensions tab

  3. Find Akto Security in the list

  4. Toggle the checkbox next to it to enable it
