Best for
  • Developers experimenting with browser automation.
  • Users who want AI browser capabilities in Chrome, Edge, or Electron.
  • Users who need access to Composio integrations.
  • Scenarios where an AI assistant needs to actually drive a browser to complete a task
  • Web automation testing and end-to-end verification
Not for
  • Users seeking a documented MCP server transport or standard client configuration.
  • Users unwilling to provide a Google API key.
  • Production environments requiring confirmed official maintenance or a known license.
  • Simple static-text scraping (a lightweight scraper is a better fit)
  • Environments sensitive to browser resource usage that can't run a full browser engine
Required permissions
  • Requires browser-extension access to perform screenshots, clicks, typing, scrolling, and navigation on web pages.
  • Requires a Google API key; Tool Router mode additionally requires an optional Composio API key.
  • May access user-controlled web content and data from configured integrations.
  • Requires installing and running a browser engine (Chromium/Firefox/WebKit) locally or on a server
  • browser_navigate can visit any URL; browser_evaluate can run arbitrary JavaScript in the page context
Risks and side effects
  • Browser automation may perform sensitive actions; the project provides confirmation dialogs for actions such as checkout and payment.
  • The handling risk for API keys, web content, and integration data depends on configuration and usage.
  • The license is listed as unknown, so specific commercial or redistribution rights should not be assumed.
  • browser_evaluate executing arbitrary scripts carries risk if a malicious page is visited — restrict to trusted sites or an isolated environment
  • Long-running browser instances consume significant memory and CPU
