Legacy Portal Support: Works with prior auth portals, EMRs, ERPs, CRMs, government filings and vendor portals with no existing API.
Build from Your Coding Agent: Use Codex, Claude or Cursor to create integrations through tools like find_website_tool and build_website_tool.
Login and 2FA Handling: Signs in with saved logins and handles 2FA codes while building the integration.
Keyless MCP Trial: Add the MCP server to Claude Code or Codex with one command and try it without an account.
Maintenance: Hosted integrations are maintained so tools keep working as sites change.
