Browser Automation with agent-browser

The CLI uses Chrome/Chromium via CDP directly. Install via npm i -g agent-browser, brew install agent-browser, or cargo install agent-browser. Run agent-browser install to download Chrome. Update with agent-browser upgrade.

When to Defer

Use chrome-devtools-mcp instead when the request is specifically about:

• a live logged-in Chrome session the user already has open
• the currently selected element in Chrome DevTools
• Chrome console, network, Lighthouse, performance, or memory investigation
