Automate browser tasks with an AI agent
Browser automation servers hand an agent a real browser. It can open a page, read the accessibility tree, click buttons, fill in forms, and take screenshots, then decide on the next step from what it sees. Developers use them to reproduce bugs, write end-to-end tests, and check a deploy without opening a window themselves. Most are built on Playwright or Puppeteer and run headless on your machine, while hosted options handle logins and scale in the cloud. Give the agent a test account rather than your personal sessions.

How to set it up
- Pick a server. Aether WCAG Scanner is the strongest match. Check its tools and the API keys it needs on its page.
- Copy the config for your client. Open the install guide for Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor, or VS Code, and paste the generated block into the client's config file. The client guides show where each config file lives.
- Restart and try a prompt. Restart the client so it loads the server, then paste one of the example prompts above.
