Joinpane docs
Joinpane keeps a website login your team shares in one long-lived browser in the cloud, called an identity. Someone signs in once; after that, everyone you choose, people and agents, opens their own window into the signed-in account from a computer or a phone. Nobody else needs the password, sign-in codes go to the phones of the people you name, and the website always sees the same device in the same place.
In the docs
- Connect an agentGive an agent its own window in a signed-in identity over MCP or the HTTP API, with a key and the limits you set.
- HTTP API referenceEvery endpoint at api.joinpane.com/v1, with requests, responses and the errors to expect.
- Custom nodesRun identities on a machine of your own with one Docker command, so websites see your own line.
- SecurityHow sessions are kept, what Joinpane promises about them, and where custom nodes fit in.
The words we use
Joinpane uses a few words in exact meanings, in the app and in these docs.
- Identity
- One website login your team shares: its own browser, its tabs and its IP address. Someone signs in to the website once, inside it.
- Window
- Your own view into an identity, with as many tabs as you open. Up to 5 windows can be open in an identity at once, people and agents together. A window is private until you share it.
- Watching
- Looking at someone else's window, which they chose to share. Watchers see it live and can't click or type.
- Driving
- Controlling a window's mouse and keyboard. You always drive your own window; in a shared one, one person drives at a time.
- Take over, hand over
- Ask the driver of a shared window for control, or give it back.
- Phone owners
- The people who hold the phone a website sends its sign-in codes to. Joinpane brings them the code when the website asks.
- Drive
- Your workspace's shared files. Website downloads land here, and files go from here to websites that ask for one.
- Agent
- Software that uses an identity through MCP or the HTTP API, in a window of its own. Always labelled as an agent.
- Node
- A machine you run that hosts identities instead of Joinpane cloud.
- Shared, Team, Private
- The three tiers of IP address. Shared is a pool with other Joinpane customers, Team is one address for your whole workspace, and Private is one address for one identity.
