Fortress Overview

The fortress MCP server connects AI agents to Fortress, a Chromium-based browser engine designed to reduce blocks from bot-detection systems. It runs through the `tilion mcp` CLI and exposes 29 browser tools for agent-driven web access. Reach for it when ordinary browser automation cannot load pages protected by Cloudflare, DataDome, CAPTCHA, or similar systems. Fortress can run headlessly and is available through Docker, Python, npm, or portable builds.

Primary Use Cases for Fortress:
  • Fetch pages protected by bot-detection systems
  • Extract structured data from rendered websites
  • Navigate paginated web content
  • Crawl product or content detail pages
