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.

Other browser/computer use tools in our directory. See all browser/computer use tools →
Chrome DevTools MCP
Official MCP server that lets coding agents control and inspect a live Chrome browser through DevTools for debugging and performance work.
ego lite
Free macOS browser where Claude Code or Codex run automation tasks in their own isolated Spaces next to your tabs, reusing your logged-in sessions through an agent skill.
Browser Harness
Agent skill from the Browser Use team that lets Claude Code, Codex or Cursor drive your own logged-in Chrome to click, type, read pages and download files.
Terminator
Desktop automation library and MCP server that lets AI assistants control any Windows app through the accessibility tree, like Playwright for the desktop.
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.
only-cli
only-cli (oc) turns any website into a compact command-line view for AI agents. It distills a page into short text with numbered actions that agents like Claude Code can follow and click through, so agents browse the web using a small fraction of the tokens raw HTML or screenshots would take.
