# Synento

> Synento is an agent-native video API. Browsers encode with WebCodecs and send binary frames over a WebSocket, and every session is appended to durable streams, so each session is already its own recording. Replay, windowed playback and MP4 export read the same streams that carried the live call.

Key facts for agents: the fastest path is the remote MCP server at https://api.synento.com/mcp (Streamable HTTP, OAuth 2.1): it provisions, mints a restricted rk_live_ key for the app's .env, and verifies media with verify_session. Without MCP: the API key is a server-side secret (never send it to a browser); browsers join with short-lived connection tokens minted per session and user; POST /v1/sessions accepts an Idempotency-Key header; every response is the envelope { data, error }; verify an integration by reading GET /v1/sessions/{id}/manifest — a track is listed only once media reached it, so check each participant has both cam and mic.
