Everything you need to know about browser automation
Guides, insights, comparisons, and reviews across Playwright MCP, Browser Use, Chrome DevTools MCP, coding agents, and the browsers they drive.
GuidesHow to connect AI agents to your existing browser
The most-requested agent capability across forums and issue trackers, mapped honestly: four routes with their mechanisms and risks, the combined solution they point to, and the two questions that pick yours.
GuidesAI Scraping Behind Login Walls: X and LinkedIn (2026)
Scraping behind a login is three routes, not one: inject a session, reuse a real browser's session, or point a no-code tool at it. For X and LinkedIn, collect only what the signed-in account is allowed to read, record evidence, and never treat a login as permission to bypass controls.
GuidesWhat is an MCP server? A practical guide for 2026
Most explainers list the benefits. Almost none tell you what a server costs you per step, or how to decide whether you need one. This one does both, using the protocol's own spec and its biggest maintainers' own words.
GuidesAgent harness: what it is, how to build one, how to choose
Agent equals model plus harness. Three authorities currently disagree about where a harness ends and a runtime begins, so this starts by settling that, then builds one in forty lines, then looks at the part almost nobody writes about: what the agent actually sees on the web.
GuidesContext engineering for browser agents: what an observation costs
Almost every article on this term uses text-only examples. Across the top 24 results, 19 fetchable pages and 64,225 words, "accessibility tree", "screenshot" and "browser automation" each appear zero times. That is the gap this fills.
GuidesBrowser agent with local Ollama models: setup and limits
A local model can drive a real browser, but only when tool calling, context length, and memory line up. This guide wires Ollama to Playwright MCP, Browser Use, and the ego (lite) ego-browser skill, then shows where local agents fail first.
GuidesBrowser Use with local LLMs: what actually works
Browser Use documents a local Ollama path, but local tool calling has a narrow margin. Here is the documented setup, the failure modes, and how to tell whether a run actually worked.
GuidesHow to test MCP server quality before deployment: tools and steps
Ship an MCP server only after the Inspector proves it connects, exposes the tools you expect, returns portable schemas, and fails the build when any of that breaks. The layers, the commands, and the CI gate.
GuidesBest Manus alternatives in 2026: browser automation tools
Manus is a hosted agent with a browser extension, so the alternatives question is really about where the browser runs, where your logins live, and whether you can watch the run. Five documented routes, each with its limits, and the six questions that pick between them.
