What it does

terminal-browser is a real chromium-based browser that draws pages right in the terminal through the kitty graphics protocol. Its CLI gives a coding agent web access: the terminal-browser action command is agent-browser compatible and lets the agent interact with open browsers, while ordinary commands open URLs, show the browser in a split pane and list open windows. It works over SSH: the site loads on your device while network requests are proxied through the remote machine, which is handy for viewing sites on the server's localhost. It ships a Claude Code plugin, TUI embedding and element selection on a page to send to the agent.

Who it is for. For developers who work with a coding agent in the terminal and want to give it web access in the same tab.

Good fit when

  • You want the agent to open sites and interact with them from the terminal
  • You want the site and the agent in one terminal tab
  • You want to preview sites from a remote machine over SSH

Not a fit when

  • Your terminal does not support the kitty graphics protocol
  • You cannot let the agent interact with open browsers

Example request

Open my local site in terminal-browser and check whether the login form works

Limitations

Rendering needs a terminal that supports the kitty graphics protocol, such as ghostty, kitty or vscode. The terminal-browser action CLI lets the agent interact with open browsers, so grant access deliberately. On some systems a background system app is used to read input. Linux is supported, and some features are still planned.

How to disable. Uninstall terminal-browser installed via brew or the script and remove its Claude Code plugin via /plugin.

README in short

The README describes terminal-browser as a real chromium browser that draws pages in the terminal through the kitty graphics protocol using Electron offscreen rendering. The CLI opens URLs, shows the browser in a split pane, lists windows and, via terminal-browser action, gives the agent web access. Install via a curl script or Homebrew, with a Claude Code plugin. It supports SSH with request proxying, TUI embedding and element selection to send to the agent. The outer UI is built on a Rust engine with a React renderer. MIT licensed.
