Vercel Agent Browser

by Vercel Labs

Open source browser automation CLI for AI agents

Reviewed by the the30top research team · Last reviewed 2026-10-27

Overview

Agent Browser is a native Rust command line tool that drives browsers over CDP and works with Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, Gemini CLI, GitHub Copilot, Goose, OpenCode and Windsurf. It offers accessibility tree snapshots with refs, clicking and typing, screenshots, network routing, session persistence, an authentication vault and an MCP server. It is a tool you install and run yourself, so there is no hosted fleet, support contract or managed scaling.

Agent Browser is the lightest way to give a coding agent a browser. It does nothing to help with scale or bot protection.
