Browser Use

Direct browser control via CDP. For setup, install, or connection problems, read https://github.com/browser-use/browser-harness/blob/main/install.md.

Two ways to drive the browser

1. MCP tools (preferred when connected): this plugin registers the browser-use MCP server. Use mcp__browser-use__browser_exec (run Python with the helpers below pre-imported; the namespace persists across calls) and mcp__browser-use__browser_screenshot. The server self-installs via uvx browser-use@latest --cli-mcp — it only requires uv on PATH.
2. CLI in a shell: run browser-use with a heredoc. Same helpers, same daemon.

browser-use <<'PY'
print(page_info())
PY

• Invoke as browser-use. Use heredocs for multi-line commands.
• Helpers are pre-imported. The daemon auto-starts and connects to the running browser.
• First navigation is new_tab(url), not goto_url(url).
• The normal local flow attaches to the running Chrome/Chromium CDP endpoint. No browser ids or local profile selection.
