cortex-works/cortex-scout

Built in Rust and exposed via MCP (stdio) with optional HTTP server, it provides stateful browser automation through a single omni-tool (`scout_browser_automate`) that replaces heavyweight frameworks like Playwright—supporting navigation, locators, mocks, network capture, and storage management in one call. Progressive fallback architecture handles bot challenges via native retrieval → Chromium CDP rendering → E2E testing → HITL, with validated extraction against Cloudflare, DataDome, reCAPTCHA, and AWS Shield-protected targets. Integrates with the broader Cortex-Works ecosystem (CortexDB, CortexStudio) and includes LanceDB-backed memory search for multi-hop deep research workflows.
