AI-powered browser automation using CodeAgent and CDP (Chrome DevTools Protocol)

OpenBrowser is a framework for intelligent browser automation. It combines direct CDP communication with a CodeAgent architecture, where the LLM writes Python code executed in a persistent namespace, to navigate, interact with, and extract information from web pages autonomously.

Documentation

Full documentation: https://docs.openbrowser.me

Key Features

• CodeAgent Architecture - LLM writes Python code in a persistent Jupyter-like namespace for browser automation
• Raw CDP Communication - Direct Chrome DevTools Protocol for maximum control and speed
• Vision Support - Screenshot analysis for visual understanding of pages
• 15 LLM Providers - OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, Groq, AWS Bedrock, Azure, Ollama, DeepSeek, Cerebras, OpenRouter, OCI, and more
• MCP Server - Model Context Protocol for Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Codex, OpenCode, and other AI assistants, with reusable saved login sessions
• CLI Daemon - Persistent browser daemon with -c flag for direct code execution from Bash, saved login state, and 10-minute auto-shutdown
• Workflow Recording - Record, replay, and export browser sessions to Jupyter notebooks or API crawler code
• Video Recording - Record browser sessions as video files with ffmpeg
• Cloud Platform - Full-stack web UI with real-time VNC streaming, saved logins (KMS-encrypted), scheduled workflows (EventBridge + SQS), and email notifications (SES)
• Plugin System - Claude Code plugin with 7 guided skills (deep research, web scraping, form filling, e2e testing, page analysis, accessibility audit, file download)

Installation

Quick install (macOS / Linux)

curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/billy-enrizky/openbrowser-ai/main/install.sh | sh

Quick install (Windows PowerShell)

irm https://raw.githubusercontent.com/billy-enrizky/openbrowser-ai/main/install.ps1 | iex

Detects uv, pipx, or pip and installs OpenBrowser automatically.

Install to ~/.local/bin without sudo:

curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/billy-enrizky/openbrowser-ai/main/install.sh | sh -s -- --local

Homebrew (macOS / Linux)

brew tap billy-enrizky/openbrowser
brew install openbrowser-ai

pip

pip install openbrowser-ai

uv (recommended)

uv pip install openbrowser-ai

uvx (zero install)

Run directly without installing -- uvx downloads and caches the package automatically:

# MCP server mode
uvx openbrowser-ai --mcp

# CLI daemon mode
uvx openbrowser-ai -c "await navigate('https://example.com')"

pipx

pipx install openbrowser-ai

From source

git clone https://github.com/billy-enrizky/openbrowser-ai.git
cd openbrowser-ai
uv pip install -e ".[agent]"

Optional Dependencies

pip install openbrowser-ai[agent]      # LLM agent support (langgraph, langchain, litellm)
pip install openbrowser-ai[all]        # All LLM providers
pip install openbrowser-ai[anthropic]  # Anthropic Claude
pip install openbrowser-ai[groq]       # Groq
pip install openbrowser-ai[ollama]     # Ollama (local models)
pip install openbrowser-ai[aws]        # AWS Bedrock
pip install openbrowser-ai[azure]      # Azure OpenAI
pip install openbrowser-ai[video]      # Video recording support

No separate browser install needed. OpenBrowser auto-detects any installed Chromium-based browser (Chrome, Edge, Brave, Chromium) and uses it directly. If none is found and uvx is available, Chromium is installed automatically on first run. To pre-install manually (requires uvx): openbrowser-ai install

Quick Start

Basic Usage

import asyncio
from openbrowser import CodeAgent, ChatGoogle

async def main():
    agent = CodeAgent(
        task="Go to google.com and search for 'Python tutorials'",
        llm=ChatGoogle(model="gemini-3-flash"),
    )

    result = await agent.run()
    print(f"Result: {result}")

asyncio.run(main())

With Different LLM Providers

from openbrowser import CodeAgent, ChatOpenAI, ChatAnthropic, ChatGoogle

# OpenAI
agent = CodeAgent(task="...", llm=ChatOpenAI(model="gpt-5.2"))

# Anthropic
agent = CodeAgent(task="...", llm=ChatAnthropic(model="claude-sonnet-4-6"))

# Google Gemini
agent = CodeAgent(task="...", llm=ChatGoogle(model="gemini-3-flash"))

Using Browser Session Directly

import asyncio
from openbrowser import BrowserSession, BrowserProfile

async def main():
    profile = BrowserProfile(
        headless=True,
        viewport_width=1920,
        viewport_height=1080,
    )
    
    session = BrowserSession(browser_profile=profile)
    await session.start()
    
    await session.navigate_to("https://example.com")
    screenshot = await session.screenshot()
    
    await session.stop()

asyncio.run(main())
