Ecobrowser Overview
ecobrowser provides an MCP interface for driving Chromium through structured page data instead of screenshots. It exposes browser navigation and interaction tools, assigns durable IDs to interactive elements, verifies action results, and can recover when page structure changes. Use it for local, supervised browser automation where an agent needs observable and repeatable control of authorized websites. The package also includes a typed TypeScript library and a live view for watching headless runs.
Primary Use Cases for Ecobrowser:
- Navigate websites and expose their interactive controls to an AI agent
- Automate forms using durable element IDs and verified actions
- Inspect only the page changes after a browser action
- Supervise headless Chromium runs through the live view
