Browser Harness is a self-healing Python harness that connects LLM agents directly to a real browser via a single editable CDP websocket. Agents write their own reusable helper functions as they work, so the harness improves with every task and can run on local Chrome, stealth cloud browsers, or a VPS.

Use cases

• automate browser tasks with an LLM agent
• let a coding agent control my real Chrome browser
• scrape and download content from logged-in websites
• build self-healing browser automation workflows
• run persistent browser agents on a VPS 24/7
• automate file uploads and web interactions via CDP

When to choose

• you want an LLM agent to operate your real, logged-in browser
• you need browser automation that adapts by writing its own helpers
• you prefer a thin layer directly on CDP rather than a heavy framework
• you want to scale from local browsing to parallel cloud browsers

When to avoid

• you need simple deterministic scripting without an LLM in the loop
• you require a mature stable API for production-critical pipelines
• you want a no-code browser automation tool
• you cannot grant an agent remote-debugging access to your browser
