The documentation got a full rewrite — a friendly, public-facing site where every component has its own section. Alongside it, a wave of features landed across the dashboard, the assistant, and the developer API.
New in the product
Remote browser control
You can now drive a captured Chrome remotely — navigate it, run JavaScript, take a screenshot, or grab an accessibility snapshot — from the dashboard, from BusyBro, or over MCP. It's strictly opt-in: each device has a Browser Control toggle that must be on before it accepts any command, and only the device's owner can use it. See Remote control.
Named devices and a background daemon
The bmc CLI grew a daemon. Provision named devices once, and let the daemon keep them running across reboots — start, stop, and list them from anywhere, including remotely from the dashboard. See Named devices & the daemon.
Environment variables
Set environment variables at the global, per-user, or per-device level and reference them as {{VAR}} in breakpoint patterns, resends, and more. Per-device values override the global ones. See Remote settings & env.
External proxy control
Route a device's egress through an upstream proxy — pick a country from the managed pool, or set an explicit host and port — straight from the Devices page, BusyBro, or MCP.
New for developers
MCP at 106 tools
The MCP server now exposes 106 tools, with whole new families: external-proxy control, remote browser (CDP) control, named-device daemon control, domain pauses, and TestFlight beta administration. Full categorized reference: Tool reference.
The server has since grown to 122 tools (custom browser profiles, BusyBro memory & shares, and the scripting tools) — see 2026-06-11. 106 is the count as of this date.
Documentation relaunch
This site was rebuilt from the ground up:
- A section per component — the iOS app, dashboard, proxy server, bmc CLI, BusyBro, the MCP server, and the status board, each with its own friendly subsections.
- A Reference section for developers — REST, Realtime, the stats/status API, and the release model.
- An Under the Hood section for the architecture and per-component deep dives.
- A Quickstart and Core concepts to get you going fast.
Every page is written against the current implementation.
