CDP-powered browser control

Browser Automation

Chromium DevTools Protocol integration with WebView2 fallback. 27 dedicated browser methods for navigation, DOM manipulation, cookie management, local storage, screenshots, downloads, and raw CDP pass-through. Each browser session runs in isolation with full CDP control. Navigate pages, manipulate DOM, manage cookies, and capture screenshots programmatically.

CLI & Commands

40+ commands organized by domain: terminal, browser, agent, workspace, and system. The maxc CLI pipes through the RPC layer, turning every API method into a composable shell command.

Composable workspace hierarchy

Workspace Architecture

SIGNAL — WORKSPACE ACTIVITY

A five-level hierarchy from Window to Panel. Workspaces contain Panes, which hold Surfaces, which render Panels. Each Panel hosts either a Terminal or Browser surface with full lifecycle control.

Autonomous task orchestration

Agent System

Worker-based agent architecture for autonomous task execution. Create workers, assign prompt-based tasks, attach terminals and browsers. Agents can read terminal output, drive browser sessions, and report results.

Auth, monitoring & health

Security & Diagnostics

Token-based authentication, per-method rate limiting, circuit breaker protection, and structured diagnostics. Built-in health endpoints report system state and resource utilization across all workspace components.

CLIENT REQUEST

Incoming API calls, CLI commands, and agent actions entering the system.

WebSocket, IPC, HTTP endpoints

AUTHENTICATION

Token verification and session validation before any operation proceeds.

Session tokens, scoped permissions, ownership checks

RATE LIMITER

Per-method configurable rate limiting protecting backend resources from overload.
