🚀 rtrvr.ai v11 is LIVE! Agentic Planning, MCP Client Integration & Enhanced Web Interactions! 🚀

Hello rtrvr.ai Community,

Get ready to unlock a new dimension of agentic power! We are incredibly hyped to announce the release of rtrvr.ai v11, featuring our much-anticipated MCP Client Integration!

This is a game-changer, allowing you to directly interweave calls to MCP Servers within your agentic tasks, all while you browse. Plus, we've significantly reworked our webpage interaction capabilities, making our agent more robust and versatile than ever before.

➡️ MCP Integration in Action

🚀 What's New in v11? 🚀

🤝 MCP Client Integration: Connect rtrvr.ai to the Universe of AI Tools! 🤝

You can now seamlessly integrate rtrvr.ai with any MCP SSE server, opening up a world of possibilities:

• Add Any Remote MCP Server: Simply paste the server URL into the new MCP Tools section of the Tools dropdown to connect rtrvr.ai to for example Zapier, Notion, or Linear!
• Control Your Tools: Easily toggle which MCP tools are available to the AI and refresh the tool list from the MCP server whenever new tools get added to the server.
• Interweave MCP Calls in Your Workflows: Prompt rtrvr.ai to leverage these external tools as part of its plan – imagine extracting data with rtrvr.ai and then sending it to an external analysis tool via MCP, all in one flow!
• User Tools Still Shine: For APIs or services without an exposed MCP server, our robust "User Tools" feature remains, allowing you to generate and execute custom JavaScript code within a secure sandbox inside the Chrome Extension.

🌐 Massively Reworked Webpage Interactions: Deeper, More Complex Automations! 🌐

We've done a total overhaul of how rtrvr.ai interacts with webpages:

• Conquer More Sites, More Complexity: Our agent can now successfully navigate and automate a wider range of websites and handle more intricate interactions. Try it out on previously challenging use cases – like booking a flight on Google Flights!
• The Trade-off for Thoroughness: To achieve this enhanced capability and reliability, you might notice a slight increase in cost and latency for some interactions as the agent performs more thorough analysis. We believe the ability to tackle more complex tasks is a powerful advantage.

✨ Minor Updates & Enhancements ✨

• Real-Time Credit Updates: Keep a closer eye on your usage! Credits are now updated in real-time in the UI as the agent executes.
• Edit & Reuse Executed Tasks: Fine-tune your automations! You can now edit details of a previously executed task directly from the Task History page (chrome-extension://jldogdgepmcedfdhgnmclgemehfhpomg/extension-pages/index.html#/history). Adjust:
  • Gemini Model configuration
  • Tab reuse settings for multi-step workflows
  • Whether to write to the original Sheet
  • URLs to open as tabs
  This allows you to execute a task, perfect its execution parameters, and then easily reuse it as a reliable template!
• Dedicated Chat Library Button: We've replaced the left-edge hover to open the Chat Library with a more explicit and accessible button for better usability.
• New Suggested Workflow Example: Check out "Scrape and Visualize Amazon Laptops" in the suggested examples! Watch rtrvr.ai search for laptops on Amazon, crawl the listings, and generate a dynamic webpage comparing them.

🔮 Sneak Peek: What's on the Horizon? (Future Roadmap) 🔮

v11 is a major milestone, but the journey continues:

• OAuth for MCP (Next Minor Release): We'll be adding support for OAuth MCP Server integration and launching the OAuth authentication flow directly from the Extension.
• rtrvr.ai as an MCP Server (End of Month Target): Imagine the possibilities! We're planning to expose the rtrvr.ai Chrome Extension itself as an MCP Server.
• Federated Cloud Launch (Expected Early June): We want to take a novel direction with our cloud compared to the generic and trite play of cloud hosted browsers + proxies.
  • Remote Triggering: Execute your rtrvr.ai Chrome Extension workflows remotely from our cloud. Trigger automations on your computer from your phone or via API!
  • Distributed Workflows: We're exploring the ability to parallelize and distribute a workflow across multiple installed rtrvr.ai extensions by adding multiple rtrvr.ai MCP server URLs. Imagine distributing a list of sites to process simultaneously across an array of devices. Scale your web workflows across your team like never before!
