I do this via BrowserOS -- https://github.com/browseros-ai/BrowserOS It has an in-built MCP server and I use it with claude code, codex and like it quite a lot.

There are bunch of tedious / routine tasks that AI can automate. I think the big hurdle is mostly education / shift in mindset. We are so used to doing the task manually that most of us (including me) don't pause to think if

You can't run shell commands though. Bash is the most powerful tool in claude code!

BrowserOS should work with agent browser as well in headless mode! On top of that, if you want headful mode, you can use our MCP server https://docs.browseros.com/features/use-with-claude-code Would love to understand

At the moment, our product is designed for headful mode. But if you want to use our browser in headless and use playwright that would work too! (we are chromium fork)

gpt-oss 20B works well. You'll want at least 12k context length for agent mode.

We are still in early versions of the feature! Haven't released on our repo yet. What use case did you have? Happy to show a demo of current version we have (you can hit me up on discord or slack -- links available on our repo)

Thanks! > how is it reliably enforced? At the chromium level, you have access to every single DOM element and coordinate space around it. So, when a click happens either user or agent, we have a neat way of enforcing required action (eit

Ohh, interesting, technically this should already be possible. Because we already package gemini-cli into the sidecar (bun) binary. We just have to create a good UX. What angle are you looking at this from? Is it for convenience? Or do you

Thanks for initial feature request! We do read every single request :) Yes, we expose BrowserOS as an MCP server -- that you can use from claude code, cursor, opencode, etc -- https://docs.browseros.com/features/use-wit

Good question. We think the browser is becoming the new OS. It doesn’t really matter anymore if you’re on Windows, macOS, or Linux—the browser is where most work already happens. We see a future where it’s the main gateway to everything, an

You have a great business sense! There is an open source alternative -- browserOS.com

This is exactly our vision as well! But we want to enable you to run these automations using local models, which would be secure and privacy-first https://git.new/BrowserOS

Thank you! > curious about your anti-bot detection implementation at the C++ level. Are you modifying specific Chromium fingerprinting. TLDR basically most browser automation platforms use CDP or CDP based APIs and websites are able to d

I see. Let me know if I got it correctly: if the UI of our browser looked different than Chrome, you would use that? We kept the UI same because we felt people tend to have affinity towards using something they are familiar with.

Ohh man, this definitely hurts. We were a team of 2 until recently and we've been working hard to get through the backlog of feature requests as fast as possible. I think we've definitely improved the product a lot since we launch

Hmm I've tried. Google chrome doesn't allow starting `--remote-debugging-port` on main profiles. Logs below from my MacOS. not sure if it allows on other OSes. ``` [I] ~ /Applications/Google\ Chrome.app/Contents&#x

good question. key difference is MCP server is built right into the browser and works with your logged sessions. One-click to connect, no CDP setup needed. Also supports multiple parallel connections via MCP http transport.
