description: Aside ships a first-party Model Context Protocol server exposed through its CLI (`aside mcp`).
  Any MCP-capable agent or coding tool can connect to it to drive the Aside AI browser as a browser-automation
  surface. Launched over stdio via the locally installed `aside` binary (see cli/aside-cli.yml and packages/aside-packages.yml
  for installation).
