Vercel Labs' agent-browser drives a real browser from the terminal: accessibility-tree snapshots, element refs you act on by ID, and an MCP mode so Claude Code can browse without the paste-the-DOM tax. Rust-native and fast, it fills the lane Stagehand and Playwright-MCP occupy without the Node dependency — currently the fastest-growing browser-automation entry in the ecosystem.

What it does

  • Vercel's agent-browser: CLI giving agents a headless browser — navigate, snapshot, click by ref
  • Rust binary distributed via npm; `agent-browser install` pulls Chrome for Testing once
  • Accessibility-tree snapshots designed for LLM consumption (element refs, not screenshots)

When to use it

Minimal-dependency way to give any shell-capable agent real browser access — no MCP server needed, just a CLI the agent calls.

Getting started

npm install -g agent-browser
agent-browser install   # downloads Chrome for Testing, first time only

Project-pinned: `npm install agent-browser` + `agent-browser install`.

Things to know

First `install` downloads a Chrome build — needs network and disk. Element refs are per-snapshot; the agent must re-snapshot after navigation before clicking.
