Open-source browser agent project. Its browser-use CLI lets Claude Code, Codex and other agents drive your logged-in local Chrome with Python snippets, or connect to a cloud browser; also ships a Python agent library. The cloud browser needs an API key.

Controls your local Chrome over CDP to navigate, click, type, take screenshots and scrape data, reusing logged-in sessions. Official browser-use skill; install the browser-use CLI with uv first.

Local MCP server built into Browser Use: lets agents navigate, click, type and extract page content, or hand multi-step tasks to the built-in browser agent. Bring your own OpenAI or Anthropic API key.

Adaptive web scraping framework: scrapling extract turns a page into Markdown, text or HTML in one command, with CSS selectors and browser rendering for dynamic pages, plus an MCP server (needs the ai extra). Needs Python 3.10+ and a browser install on first use.

MCP server built into the adaptive Python scraping framework Scrapling: supports plain HTTP requests, browser rendering and stealth fetching, and uses CSS selectors to pass only the target content to the AI, saving tokens and filtering out prompt injection.

Browser automation plugin from Vercel Labs: agents drive Chrome through accessibility tree snapshots and element refs to navigate, click, fill forms and take screenshots, for web testing and exploratory QA. Install the agent-browser CLI first (npm, Homebrew or Cargo).

Browser automation CLI built for AI agents in native Rust: open pages, click and fill forms by refs from accessibility tree snapshots, read text and take screenshots, with compact snapshots and output limits to save context. From Vercel Labs; reuses local Chrome or installs one.

Headless browser written from scratch in Zig for AI agents and automation, using less memory and running faster than headless Chrome in official benchmarks. fetch turns pages into Markdown, and it can serve CDP or MCP. Telemetry is on by default (an env var disables it); Windows needs WSL.

Browser automation MCP server open-sourced by ByteDance in the UI-TARS-desktop repo: drives pages through Puppeteer accessibility data with an optional vision mode, running locally over stdio or remotely over SSE or Streamable HTTP.

Turns websites and Electron desktop apps into deterministic CLIs, with built-in adapters for Reddit, Hacker News, Bilibili, Zhihu, Xiaohongshu and more, and lets agents operate any page through your signed-in Chrome. Needs its companion browser extension.

Skyvern's official MCP: drives a browser with vision LLMs to complete multi-step tasks like filling forms, downloading files and web research. Connect to Skyvern Cloud (OAuth or API key), or self-host Skyvern and run it as a local process.

Community Playwright browser automation MCP from ExecuteAutomation (not Microsoft's official one): navigate, click, fill forms, screenshot and scrape page text, plus send HTTP requests, assert network responses and record actions into test code, with 143 device emulations built in.

Browserbase's official skills: drive a local or cloud browser with the browse CLI for web scraping and search, turning site traffic into an OpenAPI spec, adversarial UI testing and competitor research. Cloud features need a Browserbase account.

Browser Use's official plugin: connects the Browser Use MCP so Claude can drive your local Chrome or a cloud browser to browse, extract data, fill forms, test sites and take screenshots. Needs uv; cloud browsers need sign-in or an API key.
