CATT is an open-source tool that lets developers run scripted or model-driven AI agents against MCP servers, apps, websites, or HTTP APIs to see how an assistant interacts with their service. Version 0.2.1 supports two 'surrogate' emulation targets, Muse and Instinct, sharing a common testing contract covering routing, memory, payments, browser/HTTP tasks, and scheduling. The project is MIT-licensed and explicitly states it is not affiliated with Meta, OpenAI, Anthropic, or any hosted assistant.

Meta re-enabled sharing on its Muse AI assistant after temporarily disabling it when security researchers found that shared conversation links were predictably named and discoverable via public DNS records. Meta executive David Singleton said the flaw affected URLs for shared 'artifacts' like documents and images, not chat sharing itself, and has now been fixed. Previously shared artifact links have been invalidated and given new URLs, requiring users to re-share them.

It connects to over 6,000 plugins in the Claude Marketplace and can make purchases through Stripe Link or Shopify Shop Pay, though it won't trade securities or transfer money between accounts.
