Browser Agents and Your Professional Network: Setup Without a Connector

Most AI assistants connect to tools through MCP: you paste a server address, approve it, done. But a newer class of agents, like Instinct, doesn't take connectors at all. They work by driving a browser, using websites the way you would.

That changes the setup question entirely. There's no server to add. Instead, you brief the agent.

The whole setup is one paragraph

1. Create a Draftboard account (free to start, 50 free credits) and sign in, so the agent's browsing session has access to your network data.
2. Paste this briefing into the agent:

> Use Draftboard at https://intros.draftboard.com to find warm introduction paths for me. Read https://www.draftboard.com/llms.txt first: it explains what Draftboard does and how each page works.

That's it. The agent reads the llms.txt page, learns the product, and works the app on your behalf: looking up who can introduce you to a prospect, checking whether you're connected to someone, pulling your strongest paths with their 0 to 100 relationship scores.

Why llms.txt is the real setup step

A human learns an app by poking around. A browsing agent learns it the same way, slowly and expensively, unless someone wrote the manual it can read in one fetch. That's what draftboard.com/llms.txt is: a plain-text map of Draftboard written for machine readers. What the product does, who it's for, what each page contains, where pricing and setup live. Point any agent at it, browser-driving or not, and it skips the poking-around phase.

Building an agent instead of using one?

Two more resources, both agent-facing:

• The Draftboard skill: a playbook that teaches an assistant which question calls for which action, how to read a relationship score, and how to explain what it looked at.
• The Integration API: full read and write access for anything programmatic, from pulling paths into a CRM to updating intro statuses as asks go out.

And if your agent does take MCP connectors, that's the cleaner route: one address, approved in the browser, setup for every major client at draftboard.com/mcp.
