Core agent-browser usage guide. Read this before running any agent-browser commands. Covers the snapshot-and-ref workflow, navigating pages, interacting with elements (click, fill, type, select), extracting text and data, taking screenshots, managing tabs, handling forms and auth, waiting for content, running multiple browser sessions in parallel, and troubleshooting common failures. Use when the user asks to interact with a website, fill a form, click something, extract data, take a…
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
# agent-browser core
Fast browser automation CLI for AI agents. Chrome/Chromium via CDP, no Playwright or Puppeteer dependency. Accessibility-tree snapshots with compact `@eN` refs let agents interact with pages in ~200-400 tokens instead of parsing raw HTML.
Most normal web tasks (navigate, read, click, fill, extract, screenshot) are covered here. Load a specialized skill when the task falls outside browser web pages — see [When to load another skill](#when-to-load-another-skill).
## The core loop
Open the page and check the response for a WebMCP summary. If an advertised tool directly matches the authorized task, prefer that tool to reconstructing the same operation with DOM interactions. Fetch only its metadata, check the input schema and intended effect against the user request, then invoke it:
```bash
agent-browser open <url>
agent-browser webmcp list <tool> --frame <frame-id> --json
agent-browser webmcp invoke <tool> --frame <frame-id> --params '{"key":"value"}'
```

How to install
mdr add vercel-labs/agent-browser/core@sha256:6564e9a33e3aaec7The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261008.0207911, 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.
