It supports connecting either by launching its own browser session or via a Chrome extension “extension mode” to reuse an existing logged-in browser state. It also includes helpers for securely typing credentials from a server-side .env and retrieving 2FA OTP codes via Twilio.","best_when":"You want agent-driven browser automation with MCP tool calls that can reliably target elements via DOM/CSS selectors (not pixel-only screenshot interpretation), and you can run it in an environment where Chrome is available and you can safely provide required secrets (Twilio / .env).","avoid_when":"You cannot provide a secure runtime (secrets handling, network egress controls) or you require formal guarantees about not executing JS/actions; also avoid if you need strong auditability of every side-effect beyond what the session history export provides.","last_evaluated":"2026-04-04T21:45:15.177577+00:00","has_mcp":true,"has_api":false,"auth_methods":[".env-based server-side secret injection via fill_secret","Twilio SMS API credentials for get_2fa_code"],"has_free_tier":false,"known_gotchas":["Browser automation is inherently stateful; retries may cause repeated clicks/form submissions unless the workflow is designed to be idempotent.","execute_javascript can fail due to page readiness/timeouts (README mentions a JS timeout), so agents may need to re-locate elements or wait for DOM stability.","2FA retrieval depends on Twilio SMS delivery; tool outcomes may vary with external SMS delays/errors.","Extension mode requires manual Chrome extension loading/activation steps; missing steps can block tool execution."],"error_quality":0.0}
