Updated
Next AI Draw.io

axuse
axuse gives AI agents browser and computer use through a single MCP server that plugs into Claude Code, Codex, OpenCode and other MCP hosts. Instead of a screenshot loop it reads the DOM, the accessibility tree and Chrome DevTools, which makes actions faster and uses far fewer tokens, and it has zero dependencies, with desktop control on Windows, macOS (opt-in) and Linux.
Added
Anchor Action Index
Shared memory of web workflows for Anchor's cloud browsers: computer-use agents replay proven paths as deterministic code and the model only steps in where a page has changed, exposed as tools on Anchor's MCP server and REST API.
Added
TecAdRise Bot
TecAdRise Bot is a free, MIT-licensed Windows desktop app (Electron and Cursor SDK) for running a local team of AI agents, each with its own model, memory, skills, MCP servers, workspace and schedule.
