Browser Automation (browser-use)

Drives a real web browser for you — it can open pages, click, fill forms, log in, take screenshots, and pull data off sites. The go-to when a site has no API (like a retailer or vendor portal) but you still need to read or do something there.

Claude Code only

How to use it

It uses the browser-use command-line tool, which keeps a browser open in the background so steps are fast. It navigates, reads the page’s clickable elements, and interacts by index; it can use the user’s own Chrome profile to stay logged in. Claude Code only: it controls a real browser on your machine (you do the sign-ins; Claude doesn’t handle passwords for you).

How to invoke / keep it on

Ask Claude Code to “open / navigate / fill / screenshot / extract from” a website and it auto-loads. For sites that need a login, tell it which Chrome profile to use.
