Run agent-browser + Chrome inside Vercel Sandbox microVMs for browser automation from any Vercel-deployed app. Use when the user needs browser automation in a Vercel app (Next.js, SvelteKit, Nuxt, Remix, Astro, etc.), wants to run headless Chrome without binary size limits, needs persistent browser sessions across commands, or wants ephemeral isolated browser environments. Triggers include "Vercel Sandbox browser", "microVM Chrome", "agent-browser in sandbox", "browser automation on Vercel…

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

# Browser Automation with Vercel Sandbox

Run agent-browser + headless Chrome inside ephemeral Vercel Sandbox microVMs. A Linux VM spins up on demand, executes browser commands, and shuts down. Works with any Vercel-deployed framework (Next.js, SvelteKit, Nuxt, Remix, Astro, etc.).

## Dependencies

```bash
pnpm add @agent-browser/sandbox @vercel/sandbox
```

The sandbox VM needs system dependencies for Chromium plus agent-browser itself. The `@agent-browser/sandbox` helpers install them by default for fresh sandboxes and use sandbox snapshots (below) for sub-second startup. Pass `installSystemDependencies: false` only when the sandbox image already provides Chromium's required libraries.

## Core Pattern

```ts
import {
  createAgentBrowserSnapshot,
  runAgentBrowserCommand,
  withAgentBrowserSandbox,
  type VercelSandboxSession,
} from "@agent-browser/sandbox/vercel";

async function withBrowser<T>(
  fn: (sandbox: VercelSandboxSession) => Promise<T>,
): Promise<T> {
  return withAgentBrowserSandbox(fn);
}
```

## Screenshot

The `screenshot --json` command saves to a file and returns the path. Read the file back as base64:

```ts

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add vercel-labs/agent-browser/vercel-sandbox@sha256:0ea19ce5023fa991

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260910.8c15ff9, 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.
