How it works
Every agent request passes through Ferentin policy before it reaches Safari (local).
It runs on the developer's Mac and talks to the AI client over stdio, so no network gateway sees it. Developers launch it with /usr/bin/safaridriver --mcp.
Ferentin's endpoint agent finds Safari (local) in the MCP configuration of AI clients on managed Macs. An administrator adds it once from the local MCP catalog for every managed Mac that launches it this way. Each of its tools starts unvetted until it is approved. Ferentin records every tool call.

About Safari (local)
Apple's Safari MCP server ships with Safari 27 and Safari Technology Preview. It gives an agent 17 tools for working in the browser, from navigating and reading pages to running JavaScript and inspecting network requests. It runs on the Mac, makes no network calls of its own and cannot read personal information in Safari such as AutoFill or other browsing activity. Each developer turns it on in Safari's Developer settings.
