browser-use/browser-useAuthor: Browser Use

Install

Install or upgrade browser-use to the latest stable version with uv using Python 3.12, run `browser-use skill install` to register the skill, and connect it to my browser. If setup or connection fails, follow https://github.com/browser-use/browser-harness/blob/main/install.md.

Prompt from the README to paste into the agent.

This is third-party code. Review the repository files before installing.

What it does

Browser Use gives an agent direct browser control over the Chrome DevTools Protocol. The browser-use CLI registers a skill with browser-use skill install, after which Claude Code, Codex or OpenClaw drive the browser through short Python snippets with preloaded helpers. The skill itself tells the agent to skip the browser when a plain HTTP request is enough. Besides the CLI there is a Python library for building your own browser agent with any model, and a hosted cloud option with remote browsers.

Who it is for. For developers and QA engineers who need an agent to work with websites like a person: log in, click and collect data.

Good fit when

  • The task needs actions on a site: forms, navigation, logging in
  • The page is rendered with JavaScript and a plain request returns an empty shell
  • You want to embed a browser agent in your own Python app

Not a fit when

  • The data is available via an API or a static page
  • You would be bypassing site protections against their terms

Example request

Open my account on the site, find the latest invoice and note its amount and date

Limitations

Requires Python 3.11+ and uv. The BU2 model and cloud browsers need BROWSER_USE_API_KEY and the paid cloud, though the library works with other models. Access to the cloud and foreign model APIs from Russia is not guaranteed.

How to disable. Remove the browser-use skill from the agent's skills directory and the package with uv tool uninstall browser-use, or uv remove browser-use in a project.

Security check

  • The agent acts in the browser on the user's behalf, including logged-in sessions
  • Runs arbitrary Python code with browser helpers

README in short

The README offers three paths: a fully hosted agent via API, a CLI for existing agents, and a Python library. For the CLI there is a ready prompt you paste into your agent so it installs the package and registers the skill. The library section covers uv add browser-use, an example agent, custom tools and model choice. MIT licensed.

FAQ

Do I need a paid key?

Not for the CLI or the library with a local browser. The key is for the BU2 model and cloud browsers.

How does the CLI differ from the library?

The CLI gives a browser to an existing agent such as Claude Code. The library runs Browser Use's own agent inside your code.
