odda

odda is a toolkit for agent-driven web security research, composable from a single MCP server. It gives an AI agent a real Chrome it can drive and observe, a transparent mitmproxy that writes every flow to disk, and a raw-HTTP send path for smuggling and race conditions.

• Drive Chrome — open, navigate, run JS, screenshot, and interact with the page by accessibility-tree refs.
• Capture every flow — a transparent proxy writes every request/response to disk, including media bodies browser capture drops.
• Observe JS in progress — wrap functions/properties, plant source logpoints, record block coverage.
• Craft raw HTTP — byte-faithful sends for smuggling, parser-differentials, and races.

Requirements

• Python 3.14+
• Chrome or Chromium installed and on PATH

Installation

uv tool install odda

This installs the odda command (an MCP server plus one helper subcommand, with --version for the version probe). Then register the server with your harness — one MCP config entry, and every odda capability becomes typed tools your agent can call.

Harness configuration

All configs spawn the same stdio server: odda mcp. One MCP process = one odda session with its own Chrome, proxy, and .odda/ data dir (created lazily under the process's working directory on first use).

Claude Code — project .mcp.json (or ~/.claude.json under mcpServers):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "odda": {
      "command": "odda",
      "args": ["mcp"]
    }
  }
}

OpenCode — ~/.config/opencode/opencode.json:

{
  "mcp": {
    "odda": {
      "type": "local",
      "command": ["odda", "mcp"]
    }
  }
}

pi — install the MCP adapter once (pi install npm:pi-mcp-adapter), then add to project .mcp.json (same mcpServers shape as Claude Code):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "odda": {
      "command": "odda",
      "args": ["mcp"]
    }
  }
}

Chrome profile (one-time)

To give odda's isolated browser sessions a base profile (cookies, extensions, preferences):

odda init-chrome-profile

This opens a visible Chrome window pointed at odda's base profile directory. Log in, install extensions, and set preferences as you want them; close the window when done. odda copies this profile into each isolated browser session opened by browser_open. Skip this step to start from a clean profile each time.

Usage

Agents drive odda through the MCP tools (browser_open, navigate, page_snapshot, request_send, ...). IDs are integers, monotonic within a session, and never reused; every browser/tab tool takes explicit browser_id / tab_id parameters.

A typical session:

browser_open          → {browser_id, tab_id}
navigate              → tab loads https://target.example/
read .odda/flows/flows.jsonl     → every request/response captured on disk
request_clone + request_send           → the Burp Repeater loop, as tools

All captured traffic is stored under .odda/flows/<id>/ — request bytes, response body, headers, timing — plus the append-only flows.jsonl index. Grep the index to find flows; read .odda/flows/<id>/response_body.* for the body (including image/video/audio/font Content-Types that browser capture drops).

Features

Drive Chrome

A real Chrome (via patchright/Playwright), headless by default:

• Open / navigate / eval / wait-for / screenshot — drive the browser and run JS in the page.
• Ref-driven page interaction — page_snapshot returns the accessibility tree with [ref=eN] tags; pass the ref to page_click / page_fill / page_hover / page_upload. page_snapshot caps render depth; page_find regex-searches the snapshot and returns matches with context instead of the whole tree (the cheap way to locate a ref on a large page); boxes: true adds element geometry for coordinate clicks. page_click and page_hover also accept viewport coordinates as a raw trusted event for targets the a11y tree can't name. Cross-iframe is transparent.
• Per-browser userscripts — JS that auto-runs at document_start on every navigation, before the page's own scripts.
• Dialog blocking — alert / confirm / prompt / beforeunload stay open until handled: the action that opens one returns its details, other tools on that tab wait, and every same-browser result lists open dialogs. Resolve with dialog_handle (accept/dismiss, prompt text); a human closing it in a headed window works too.

Capture every flow

A transparent mitmproxy sits between Chrome and the network; driving the browser is traffic capture. Every request/response is saved under .odda/flows/<id>/; the index is .odda/flows/flows.jsonl. The proxy can also chain through an upstream forward proxy (proxy_upstream_set) to change the session's network vantage. See the odda://docs/flows resource for the file layout and schema.

Observe JS in progress

Three lenses, chosen by what you know:

• Wrap — wrap a named function or property; record each call/access with this, args, ret, and stack. Takes effect on the next navigation.
• Logpoint — plant a non-pausing observation at a source url + line + col; the expression is evaluated in the paused frame's scope, so it reads locals by name.
• Coverage — record which code blocks execute across one or more navigations; start, trigger behavior, snapshot or stop.

Wrap and Logpoint records wipe on navigation — dump before navigating again. The odda://docs/dynamic-analysis resource documents the full surface; odda://docs/recipes has a worked example tracing untrusted DOM data to a sink.

Craft raw HTTP

Byte-faithful raw HTTP sends, bypassing the browser — the Burp Repeater model, as tools:

• Wire-verbatim HTTP/1.1 — the request file is the wire; nothing is re-framed.
• HTTP/2 frame-source — the request file is parsed into H2 frames; a custom line terminator lets a literal CRLF live inside an H2 pseudo-header for downgrade smuggling.
• Clone or craft — request_clone copies a captured flow's exact bytes; request_new starts an empty file.
• Multi-name pipeline — pass several names to send several requests on one connection (H1 keep-alive, or H2 concurrent stream-multiplex) for same-connection attacks.
• Concurrent send — repeat fires N copies of one request concurrently for race conditions and limit-overrun attacks.
• fix_content_length — recompute Content-Length after body edits.

See the odda://docs/request-crafting resource for framing details.

How it works

• odda mcp is the only odda process: a stdio MCP server whose lifespan owns the proxy, the browser manager, and the flow storage. Your harness spawns it per agent session; closing the session tears everything down.
• The remaining CLI surface is helpers, not the automation surface: odda init-chrome-profile (interactive, human-run) and odda --version/-V.
• Project state lives in .odda/ under the MCP process's working directory: flows/, requests/, browsers/. It's created lazily on the first state-producing call, not when the server boots.
• Errors from tools are odda's messages verbatim (as tool errors); unanticipated crashes log their traceback to the server's stderr, which the harness captures.
