Drive a persistent headless Chrome from the CLI — one process keeps cookies and state across calls. Use when the user wants to scrape JS-rendered pages, screenshot, fill forms, export PDFs, or run browser tests in CI.
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# Rodney — Chrome Automation
Rodney drives a persistent headless Chrome instance from the terminal. All commands share one long-running Chrome process — cookies, localStorage, and navigation state persist across invocations.
*How it fits together: every `rodney <cmd>` is a short-lived Go process that reconnects through `state.json` and the [go-rod](https://github.com/go-rod/rod) library to the same long-lived Chrome. Source of truth: [assets/rodney-architecture.html](assets/rodney-architecture.html) (PNG derived from it).*
## ⚠️ Usage: CLI Only — NOT an MCP Tool
Rodney is a **CLI tool**, not an MCP server. Use it via the **bash** tool only. Never call `mcp("rodney")`.
Every rodney session follows this pattern via bash:
```bash
rodney start # 1. Launch Chrome
rodney open <url> # 2. Navigate
rodney waitstable # 3. Wait for page to settle
# ... interact, scrape, screenshot ... # 4. Do your work
…Read the whole file at its exact version.
How to install
mdr add devskale/skale-skills/rodney@sha256:2ffd762ed429f4ccThe line at the top of this page pins the label v1.1.0, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
