## 🎨 Key Features

### 1. Browser Automation with AI

```python
# Autonomous browser task using AI
await mcp_browser_execute_task(
    task="Search for AI agent tutorials on Google and extract top 5 results",
    max_steps=30
)
```

### 2. Human-in-the-Loop Workflow

```python
# Request approval with timeout
result = await mcp_request_admin_approval(
    request_message="Delete 1000 database records?",
    urgent=True,
    timeout_seconds=300
)

if result["approved"]:
    # Proceed with action
    perform_deletion()
```

### 3. Multi-Channel Notifications

```python
# Send alert via all channels
await mcp_send_email(to_email="admin@example.com", ...)
await mcp_send_slack_message(message="🚨 Alert!")
await mcp_send_telegram_message(message="Alert!")
await mcp_send_discord_message(message="Alert!")
```

### 4. Timer & Scheduling

```python
# Set timer for delayed execution
timer = await mcp_set_timer(
    duration_seconds=3600,
    callback_message="Time to check website"
)

# Recurring timer
await mcp_set_recurring_timer(
    interval_seconds=300,  # Every 5 minutes
    max_occurrences=10
)
```

---

## 🚦 Usage Patterns

### Pattern 1: Website Monitoring
```python
navigate → screenshot → set_recurring_timer → notify_via_slack
```

### Pattern 2: Admin Approval Flow
```python
request_approval → wait_for_response → notify_decision → execute_action
```

### Pattern 3: Scheduled Task
```python
set_timer → browser_task → extract_data → send_email_report
```

### Pattern 4: Multi-Channel Alert
```python
critical_event → [email, slack, telegram, discord] → admin_approval
```
