open-browser-useis a browser automation layer that stays neutral across agent runtimes. It is also an open-source alternative to the Chrome Browser Use capability recently shipped in Codex.app. For the story behind it, see theBrowser Use Deep Dive.
Under the hood, it pairs a browser extension with theopen-browser-useCLI. You can integrate it through the JavaScript SDK, Python SDK, Go SDK, or the CLI.

npm i -g open-browser-use open-browser-use setup
# npm (macOS, Linux, Windows) npm i -g open-browser-use # Homebrew (macOS, Linux) brew tap iFurySt/open-browser-use && brew install open-browser-use # Upgrade npm update -g open-browser-use
Register the native host for the extension. The setup command also opens the Chrome Web Store page so you can install or enable the matching Chrome extension, then restart Chrome if needed.
If the Chrome Web Store item is temporarily unavailable, useopen-browser-use setup betato prepare a keyed release ZIP for manual installation fromchrome://extensions/.
# JavaScript / TypeScript npm install open-browser-use-sdk # Python pip install open-browser-use-sdk # Go go get github.com/ifuryst/open-browser-use/packages/open-browser-use-go
The SDK package name isopen-browser-use-sdkon both npm and PyPI. Python code imports it asopen_browser_use; Go code imports the SDK package asobu.

Update an existing global install, including the Codex install created above:
npx skills update open-browser-use -g -y # upgrade is an alias for update npx skills upgrade open-browser-use -g -y
You can also manually download and install theopen-browser-useskill, then start using it from your agent.
Downloadable.skilland.zippackages are available inGitHub Releases.
Install the MCP server into all supported global agent configs:
npx add-mcp "obu mcp" --name open_browser_use --all -g -y npx add-mcp list -g
You can also configure an agent runtime with local MCP stdio support manually:
[mcp_servers.open_browser_use] command = "obu" args = ["mcp"]
The server exposes browser tools for tab listing, opening, claiming, navigation, CDP, action plans, and cleanup.

E2LLM — structured browser perception for AI E2LLM turns any live web page into SiFR: a compact, deterministic, LLM-readable model of what's on the page, what it means, and what can be done with it. Perception is the product. Action is available when you need it — always explicit, always gated. Works as a hosted remote MCP server with the AI you already use. There's no local server to run — a browser extension pairs your live browser to the server, so perception and action happen in the real browser you're already signed into.
