Welcome to the closed beta. BrowserOps lets your AI coding agent or any AI clients that support MCP (Claude Code, Cursor, OpenClaw, Hermes) drive your real Chrome browser — same logged-in profile, same cookies, same tabs.

This guide walks you from zero to a working setup in about 5 minutes.

Prerequisites

• macOS or Linux (Windows works via WSL)
• Node.js ≥ 20.10 — check with node -v
• Chrome ≥ 120 — check chrome://version
• One of the supported MCP clients installed: Claude Code, Cursor, OpenClaw, Hermes

We know documentation is boring, here’s a 2-minute video to guide you through the installation process.

Step 1 — Install the CLI

npm i -g browserops

(pnpm add -g browserops works too.)

This installs two binaries on your PATH:

• browserops — the CLI you'll use day-to-day
• browserops-shim — the MCP server your editor talks to (you don't run this directly)
