Uses `npx` (confidence: low): ```json "mcpServers": { "browsentic": { "command": "npx", "args": ["-y","browsentic"] } } ``` ## Documentation & README https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/307afa62-5fbd-47ac-822c-baee491ddfe3

**No account Β· No auth Β· No API key Β· No cloud Β· No telemetry Β· Local first** Your real, logged-in browser, driven from an AI side panel by the agent CLI you already have.
Also an optional [MCP server](https://github.com/imshaikot/browsentic/blob/HEAD/docs/guide/mcp-clients.md), so any MCP client can drive the same browser.

## How It Works ![How an instruction becomes a click](https://browsentic.com/flow.png)
The same flow, as text ``` You ──speak or type──> Extension ──local WebSocket──> Daemon ──spawns──> your agent CLI β–² (claude β”‚ codex β”‚ agy β”‚ vibe β”‚ grok) └──────────────── page actions β”€β”€β”€β”€β”€β”€β”€β”€β”€β”€β”€β”€β”€β”€β”€β”€β”€β”€β”€β”€β”€β”˜ Any MCP client ──stdio──> browsentic mcp ──> the same daemon ──> the same browser ```
The extension dials out to the daemon, because a Manifest V3 service worker cannot listen for connections. One daemon owns the browser link, so several MCP clients can share one browser. Everything binds to `127.0.0.1`. ## Resources - πŸ“š [Documentation](https://github.com/imshaikot/browsentic/blob/HEAD/docs/) - πŸš€ [Install and Pair](https://github.com/imshaikot/browsentic/blob/HEAD/docs/guide/install.md) - ✨ [Features](https://github.com/imshaikot/browsentic/blob/HEAD/docs/guide/features/) - 🧰 [All 52 Page Tools](https://github.com/imshaikot/browsentic/blob/HEAD/docs/reference/tools.md) - πŸ”Œ [Optional: Drive It From Claude Code, Cursor or Zed Over MCP](https://github.com/imshaikot/browsentic/blob/HEAD/docs/guide/mcp-clients.md) - πŸ›‘οΈ [Approvals and Guardrails](https://github.com/imshaikot/browsentic/blob/HEAD/docs/guide/approvals.md) - πŸ—οΈ [Architecture](https://github.com/imshaikot/browsentic/blob/HEAD/docs/internals/) - 🩺 [Troubleshooting](https://github.com/imshaikot/browsentic/blob/HEAD/docs/guide/troubleshooting.md) ## Privacy and Security Nothing connects until you pair, both ends prove themselves, consequential actions ask first, and credentials on a page are sealed before the agent sees them. The full model is in [SECURITY.md](https://github.com/imshaikot/browsentic/blob/HEAD/SECURITY.md), and what it does not cover is in [Limits](https://github.com/imshaikot/browsentic/blob/HEAD/docs/guide/limits.md). ## Contributing Bugs and ideas are welcome β€” start at [CONTRIBUTING.md](https://github.com/imshaikot/browsentic/blob/HEAD/CONTRIBUTING.md). ## License Browsentic is MIT licensed. - **Source Available**: Always visible source code - **Local First**: No cloud component, no telemetry, no account - **Extensible**: Add your own page capabilities, skills and agent runners ## What does Browsentic mean? **Short answer:** "Browse" + "agentic". **Long answer:** Most browser automation asks you to hand the work to a *different* browser β€” a headless one, in a container, logged in to nothing. Browsentic is the other way round: the agentic part happens in the browser you are already looking at, with the sessions you are already signed in to. The name is the thesis β€” browsing, made agentic, where you already browse.
