Can I run multiple browser sessions at once?

Yes, the skill supports a --session flag which allows you to manage and interact with multiple independent, parallel browser instances.

Is it possible to see the browser window while it runs?

Yes, you can use the --headed flag with your commands to launch a visible browser window, which is helpful for debugging visual layouts.

How does ref-based selection work?

It generates unique, short tags (like @e1) for interactive elements within an accessibility snapshot, ensuring the AI targets the correct element without needing to guess complex CSS selectors.

How does Agent Browser differ from Playwright MCP?

Agent Browser uses a CLI-first approach with ref-based selection from accessibility snapshots, making it highly optimized for terminal-based Bash workflows compared to the tool-based Playwright MCP.

Do I need to install a browser separately?

No, you can simply run 'agent-browser install' after installing the npm package to download the necessary Chromium binaries automatically.

Browser Automation

Automates headless browser interactions through a streamlined CLI using ref-based element selection optimized for AI agents.

Agent Browser is a specialized CLI tool designed by Vercel specifically for AI-driven web automation within terminal environments like Claude Code. It simplifies complex web interactions by providing accessibility snapshots with reference tags (e.g., @e1, @e2), allowing Claude to accurately click, fill forms, and scrape data without managing complex CSS selectors. This skill is ideal for developers who need a robust alternative to Playwright MCP that integrates directly into Bash workflows for tasks ranging from automated testing to dynamic data extraction.
