# 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.

{% hint style="info" %}
**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.
{% endhint %}

## 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)

{% hint style="warning" %}
Contact the Akto support team for the required extension ZIP file.
{% endhint %}

### Steps

{% stepper %}
{% step %}
**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
  {% endstep %}

{% step %}
**Move the App to Applications**

* Move the extracted `.app` bundle to your `/Applications` folder
* Launch the app once so macOS registers it
  {% endstep %}

{% step %}
**Enable Safari Developer Mode**

Open Safari and enable developer features:

1. Click **Safari** in the menu bar → **Settings**

{% endstep %}

{% step %}
**Allow Unsigned Extensions**

**Enable the Akto Extension**

1. Click **Safari** → **Settings**
2. Open the **Extensions** tab
