The enterprise browser as a control plane for AI: governed agents that act in the browser and through Island hosted MCP, per agent permissions and human approval rules, audit logs of every prompt, tool call and agent action, and model agnostic provider choice.

Island is the enterprise browser company, and its Enterprise AI offerings (launched 17 March 2026) extend that browser into a control plane for AI at work.

The AI Browser embeds any chatbot the organization chooses, including ChatGPT, Copilot, Gemini, Grok, Claude or its own, into the browser sidebar with page, identity and company context, connects it to approved knowledge sources through RAG and MCP, and lets agents take governed actions through Island hosted MCP servers or locally in the browser.

AI Automation builds and runs on-demand agents across enterprise applications under admin controls over application access, permitted actions and human approvals, executing inside a hardened browser environment.

Most of Island's current AI offering governs AI the organization already uses: discovery of agents, MCP servers, skills and non-human identities, inline inspection of prompts, tool calls and files with DLP and redaction, just in time credentials for agents, an MCP gateway, cost and usage intelligence, and detailed logs of every prompt, response, tool call and agent action across web and desktop. A Browser-use MCP lets any agent navigate internal apps that have no API under the same controls, and Vibe Publishing gives internally built apps SSO, data protection and audit. Island completed a SOC 2 Type 2 audit in 2022.

Integrations

Agents act through Island hosted MCP servers or locally in the browser; internal MCP servers can be published to agents without exposing keys; the platform integrates with LLM gateways, AI vendors' compliance APIs, LLM inference hooks, EDR and MDM tools, and offers an MCP gateway and a Browser-use MCP.

In practice

Employees use ChatGPT, Copilot and Claude in the browser and security cannot see what they share. Island embeds the chosen assistants in its browser with page and identity context, sets which models each employee can use, and logs every prompt, response and tool call.

An internal legacy app has no API, so an agent cannot reach it. Island's Browser-use MCP lets the agent navigate the app inside the governed Enterprise Browser, under the same controls and logging.

Your team wants agents to act in enterprise apps without handing them standing keys. Island issues just in time, time boxed credentials, publishes internal MCP servers to agents without exposing API keys, and requires human approval where admins set it.

Claude Code, Claude Cowork, Claude for Microsoft 365 and Claude Science sessions now flow into Island's Anthropic integration through the expanded Claude Compliance API. Each session arrives as one transcript tied to a verified user, covering prompts, responses, tool and MCP calls and artifacts, which Island scans for regulated data, source code and secrets and scores for risk.

Island integrated its Enterprise Agentic Control Plane with Anthropic's new Inference Hooks for Claude Enterprise. This server-to-server integration routes every governed prompt and tool result into Island's policy engine, allowing it to evaluate and optionally block requests using deterministic DLP and an LLM judge before Claude processes them.
