1. Claude calls create_session (MCP tool) → relay returns a 9-digit session key + URL
2. User visits the URL in the browser where their app is running → confirms via "Allow sncro debugging?"
3. The plugin drops a cookie, agent.js is injected into subsequent HTML responses on that origin
4. agent.js pushes baseline data (console, errors) and long-polls for on-demand queries (query_element, get_page_snapshot, etc.)

Using sncro

Most users don't need to run the relay yourself — the hosted version at relay.sncro.net is free-tier friendly. Register your project at sncro.net and grab your project key.

FastAPI: drop middleware/sncro_middleware.py into your project, then:

from middleware.sncro_middleware import SncroMiddleware, sncro_routes

app = FastAPI(debug=True)  # sncro only loads when debug=True
if app.debug:
    app.include_router(sncro_routes)
    app.add_middleware(SncroMiddleware, relay_url="https://relay.sncro.net")

Flask: drop middleware/sncro_flask.py into your project, then:

from sncro_flask import init_sncro

app = Flask(__name__)
if app.debug:
    init_sncro(app, relay_url="https://relay.sncro.net")

Both middlewares only activate in debug mode — zero overhead in production.

Contributing

We love new framework plugins. CONTRIBUTING.md has the full spec for what a plugin must do — cookies, routes, security headers — plus the test template. Django, Rails, Express, Next.js, ASP.NET, Go — all welcome.

Bug reports and security issues: see SECURITY.md.
