No service agreement is published, only a website terms of use, and the documented CDP connection puts the API key in the URL.\n\n**Functionize MCP server.** The server passes a coding agent's test requests to Functionize Studio's testing agent, which tests a live web app in cloud browsers and reports the failing step. It uses OAuth with read and write scopes and has a no-card free plan. Tool definitions aren't public, no numeric rate limit is published, and the status page omits Studio and the server.\n\n## Before you call either\n\n### Anchor Browser\n\n1. Send the key in the `anchor-api-key` header. For CDP, build `wss://connect.anchorbrowser.io?apiKey=\u003ckey\u003e\u0026sessionId=\u003cid\u003e` and keep that URL out of logs\n2. Set `session.timeout.idle_timeout` and `max_duration` and end sessions with DELETE. The default maximum is 180 minutes, and browser time bills by the minute\n3. Session creation is capped at 5 a minute on Free, 25 on Starter and 100 on Growth. On 429, wait for the `Retry-After` seconds\n4. Connect the `Anchor` MCP server or `Anchor (all)`, not both, because the docs say the pair duplicates tool names\n5. Authenticated browsers, CAPTCHA solving and proxies by country need the Starter plan or higher. The Free plan and Agent Access keys run plain sessions and web tasks\n\n### Functionize MCP server\n\n1. Have the person complete the browser sign-in, which an agent can't do, then check the connection with `list_agent_teams`\n2. Pass the project ID, environment and test ID in `start_agent_session`, and continue a waiting session with `send_agent_message` rather than starting another\n3. Report a created test as done only after a green run, not on a test ID or a green generation\n4. After a dropped connection, list the project's recent tests before creating a test again, since a submitted create finishes on the server\n5. Send the `X-Functionize-Team-Id` header to pin a team, and keep credentials in masked Studio variables, never in prompts\n\n## Questions\n\n### Which is better for AI agents, Anchor Browser or Functionize MCP server?\n\nAnchor Browser scores 67.3 (B) on agent readiness against Functionize MCP server's 44.7 (E), and leads in 5 of 7 scored categories. Functionize MCP server leads on transparency \u0026 trust.\n\n### Do Anchor Browser and Functionize MCP server need an API key?\n\nAnchor Browser takes an API key or an OAuth sign-in. Functionize MCP server uses an OAuth sign-in.\n\n### Can an agent call Anchor Browser and Functionize MCP server without installing anything?\n\nYes. Anchor Browser has a hosted endpoint at https://api.anchorbrowser.io and Functionize MCP server at https://mcp.functionize.com/mcp.\n\n\n## For agents\n\n- This comparison as JSON: https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/anchor-browser-vs-functionize-mcp.json, and with the fewest tokens: https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/anchor-browser-vs-functionize-mcp.min.md\n- Over MCP at https://www.anchorterminal.com/mcp (no key): `compare_tools {\"a\": \"anchor-browser\", \"b\": \"functionize-mcp\"}`.
