chrome-agent
chrome-agent is an open-source, LLM-native browser automation CLI that turns a web page into structured records your AI agent can use, from a single 3 MB Rust binary with no Node.js, no API key, and no cloud. It is designed so that the LLM is the user — the CLI embeds its own usage guide, every error comes with a hint for the next action, and --json gives an agent structured data without an adapter. It exposes accessibility-tree snapshots with stable uids (the backendNodeId stays valid on the next inspect of the same page), seven in-binary CDP bot-detection patches, --connect to use your real Chrome logins, pipe/batch mode for scripting, structured record extraction, network blocking, iframe switching, PDF export, and file downloads that preserve auth. Compared to Playwright MCP (which can burn ~114,000 tokens per session), chrome-agent's lean inspect takes ~50 tokens, making it dramatically cheaper for agent-driven browsing. It installs as a Claude/Codex skill (npx skills add sderosiaux/chrome-agent) or via cargo install. chrome-agent is ideal for developers who want a minimal-token, maximal-autonomy browser tool for AI agents — scraping, web automation, and computer-use workflows — without the overhead of a Node runtime, a managed cloud, or a per-seat API key.
