### Feature Request 🚀 — Optional 10Captcha API Support

Hi @Skyvern-AI team,

Thank you for building Skyvern — it's an exceptional AI-powered browser automation platform.

I’d like to suggest adding optional support for [10Captcha](https://10captcha.com/), a fast and affordable CAPTCHA-solving API. Many automation workflows encounter CAPTCHA challenges, and integrating 10Captcha as an opt-in solution could enhance reliability and flexibility.

The API is straightforward to integrate: https://10captcha.com/api-docs.php

This addition aligns well with

### CLI: skyvern run workflow subcommand missing

### Media URLs seem incorrect when not local

I noticed in console two problems:

1. The service was trying to contact localhost:9090 for media (page snapshots, e.g.).
2. The service was trying to use file:// for videos

I was able to work around #1 by specifying `VITE_ARTIFACT_API_BASE_URL=http://remotehost:9090` (very sensitive to trailing slash).

It would probably be good to include an example in the docker compose file.

But for 2, I don't have a workaround.  It seems to just always want to serve that from a place that won't exist on m

### Support for Loading Extensions with Playwright Browser Context

It would be highly beneficial to have a feature that allows loading browser extensions when using Playwright. The functionality could involve specifying a list of extension folder names through an environment variable. These extensions would then automatically load whenever a Playwright browser context is created.

This feature would greatly enhance workflows that rely on custom browser extensions, enabling better testing and automation scenarios.

### Self-hosted proxy pool

It would be great if we could specify a proxy pool to use in chrome. either through a comma-separated list of proxy configs passed through an ENV, or some other config value.

### Add tutorial for utilizing skyvern for automated UI testing

I'm not sure if this is an intended use case, but this looks like something that could seriously help tremendously with automated UI testing. Would you be able to add something to the ReadMe that explains how one might integrate this into a CI/CD pipeline for that purpose?

### MCP OAuth: authorization server issuer doesn't match its discovery URL, so SDK clients refuse to authorize

An external MCP-auth conformance scan of the Skyvern MCP endpoint turns up one requirement violation that stops spec-following OAuth clients from authorizing.

## What happens

`https://api.skyvern.com/mcp/` returns a 401 whose `WWW-Authenticate` points at the protected-resource metadata:

```
resource_metadata="https://api.skyvern.com/.well-known/oauth-protected-resource/mcp"
```

That document lists the authorization server as:

```json
"authorization_servers": ["https://api.skyvern.com"]
```

### Follow-up: opt-in gateway allowlist to restore Docker self-heal Repair under loopback-only internal_auth

Follow-up to Skyvern-AI/skyvern#6890 / PR Skyvern-AI/skyvern#7176.

## Context

Skyvern-AI/skyvern#7176 fixes a trust-boundary bypass by restricting the `internal/auth` routes to **loopback-only** (`127.0.0.1` / `::1`), dropping the previous `is_private` (all-RFC1918) trust. That is the deliberate, correct security default.

**Known intentional tradeoff:** the local-dev self-heal "Repair" button (`SelfHealApiKeyBanner.tsx` → `POST /api/v1/internal/auth/repair`) used **against a Dockerized backen

### SSRF Protection Bypass via IPv6 Bracket Parsing Gap

## 1. Executive Summary

Skyvern's SSRF protection function `is_blocked_host()` uses `ipaddress.ip_address(host)` to detect private/loopback IP addresses. However, when a URL contains an IPv6 address (e.g., `https://[::1]/`), the `host` value parsed by Pydantic's `HttpUrl` retains the RFC 3986 brackets (`[::1]`). Python's `ipaddress.ip_address()` does not accept bracketed IPv6 addresses, raising `ValueError`. The code catches this exception and falls through to a simple string comparison against

### feat: Support per-run LLM API key override (BYOK) for tasks and workflows

## Current behavior
All LLM calls in Skyvern use a single server-configured API key (`LLM_KEY` env var).
There is no way for a caller to supply their own LLM API key on a per-run basis.

## Expected behavior
Callers should be able to pass an optional `llm_api_key` in the request body for
`POST /run/tasks`, `POST /run/workflows`, and the legacy `POST /api/v1/tasks` endpoint.
Skyvern should use that key for every LLM call within that specific run.

## Why this is useful
- **Multi-tenant / BYOK dep

### Session Persistence Bridge

# Session Persistence Bridge

## Objective
Implement a session persistence bridge that maintains browser state and session data across OctoBrowser profile transitions and Skyvern agent handoffs, enabling seamless workflow continuity.

## Background
Skyvern workflows often require maintaining session state across multiple steps or agent transitions. OctoBrowser profiles provide persistent browser environments, but we need a bridge system to coordinate session data between the two systems.

## Req

### Epic: octobrowser-skyvern-integration

# Epic: OctoBrowser-Skyvern Integration

## Overview

Technical implementation to enable Skyvern automation agents to execute within OctoBrowser's managed Chromium profiles (Octium), leveraging existing profile persistence, CDP/VNC debugging capabilities, and MCP server infrastructure. The integration will create an adapter layer between Skyvern's BrowserFactory and OctoBrowser's ProfileManager without modifying core components, maintaining full backward compatibility while enabling advanced mul

### Interrupt process to append extra data

I kicked off a prompt from the homepage, just a simple query (check if I have unclaimed money). Skyvern started navigating to a page and started to search for me. But I didn't give it any of my information, and it started looping: 

![Image](https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/9d4a705c-6380-46d2-8bd4-18ea59a6e939)

- Is it possible to have a semi-iterative approach, where it tries to refine the process, or ask me to supply extra information, before it does this?
