*   Works with self-hosted, local, and cloud implementations
*   Built on a custom Web Voyager implementation using Bounding Boxes and Custom tools to map webpages into LLM action spaces
*   Check it out: [https://github.com/steel-dev/steel-mcp-server](https://github.com/steel-dev/steel-mcp-server)

### 🔧 **40+ Bugfixes like**

*   Fixed billing page + usage tracking issues
*   Resolved rate limit errors
