Zamery Browser

Use your existing Firefox and logged-in tabs, limited to tabs or groups you explicitly share.

OtherJavaScriptv0.1.2

Typed browser control for AI agents, built around explicit capabilities, semantic snapshots, and observable action outcomes.

Zamery Browser lets an agent work with a browser through a provider-neutral contract instead of coupling the agent to one automation engine. The Firefox provider connects to the user's already-running Firefox rather than launching a disposable browser profile.

Install

npm install @zamery/browser-provider @zamery/pi-browser @zamery/browser-firefox

Node.js >=22.19.0 <25 is currently supported. @zamery/pi-browser is tested against @earendil-works/pi-coding-agent@0.87.1.

Packages

PackagePurpose
@zamery/browser-providerProvider-neutral BrowserProvider V1/V2 contracts, plus optional bounded browser-asset contracts.
@zamery/pi-browserTyped Pi tools for status, contexts, semantic snapshots, browser-backed assets, and actions.
@zamery/browser-firefoxFirefox provider, Native Messaging host, setup/doctor CLI and the Firefox companion for an already-running Firefox session.
@zamery/browser-mcpStandalone stdio MCP server (for Codex and other local MCP hosts): share chosen tabs/tab groups, snapshots, DOM actions, takeover/resume, screenshots.

The provider contract is intentionally separate from the Firefox implementation. Another browser/provider can implement the same contract without changing the agent-facing tool layer.

Quick example

import { createBrowserProviderV2 } from "@zamery/browser-firefox";

const provider = createBrowserProviderV2();
try {
  const instances = await provider.listInstances();
  console.log(instances);
} finally {
  await provider.close();
}

For Pi integrations, @zamery/pi-browser exposes browser_status, browser_contexts, browser_snapshot, browser_assets, and browser_act. browser_assets returns opaque refs and safe metadata rather than source URLs or browser credentials.

Codex and other MCP hosts

@zamery/browser-mcp lets a local agent work in the Firefox you already use — logged in, no relaunch, no cookie export — on only the tabs or tab groups you choose to share, for a time you choose (this session, or 1–30 days). You can take over at any time; the agent can only ask to resume. See packages/browser-mcp, the security model and the evidence-backed release status.

Official MCP Registry: io.github.maemreyo/zamery-browser. Firefox Companion: AMO public listing.

Stable v0.2.4 uses @zamery/browser-provider@0.2.3, @zamery/browser-firefox@0.2.3, @zamery/browser-mcp@0.1.2, and @zamery/pi-browser@0.2.2, plus Mozilla-signed/public Firefox companion 0.2.6. Signed real-profile behavior and clean published-artifact acceptance both pass. See the release status for exact evidence.

Why this exists

Browser automation often hides important distinctions: whether the browser is user-owned, whether an action really happened, whether a DOM reference is still fresh, or whether a timeout occurred before or after mutation began. Zamery Browser keeps those boundaries explicit.

  • The provider does not treat process success as browser authorization.
  • Semantic snapshot refs are opaque and freshness-aware; they are not advertised as durable selectors.
  • Actions preserve exact completed, not_started, partial, or unknown outcomes instead of converting ambiguity into success.
  • Firefox actions are DOM-synthetic and are not represented as trusted OS input.
  • Provider teardown does not imply ownership of the user's browser or tabs.
  • Browser-backed asset discovery/transfer keeps sensitive source URLs and credentials provider-internal while exposing bounded opaque-ref workflows to consumers.

Firefox companion

The Firefox path uses a Mozilla-signed Zamery Browser Companion plus a Native Messaging host. Current signed companion 0.2.6 uses protocol 2. Protocol-1 0.1.x components remain incompatible and fail closed when mixed with protocol-2 components. See Firefox setup.

Documentation

Project status

The npm packages are public under the @zamery scope and licensed under Apache-2.0. The API is still 0.x: additive work can land in minor releases, while intentional breaking changes are documented with migration notes rather than silently reinterpreting an existing protocol version.

License

Apache-2.0. Each package includes its own license file; the repository root license applies to the repository as a whole.

Installation

Source-derived launch command. Check the maintainer’s required arguments and credentials before running:

bash
npx -y @zamery/browser-mcp

Set up in your AI client

Merge this template into ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json. Keep existing servers. Add any arguments, credentials, and permissions required by the maintainer; this template has not been install-tested.

Restart Claude Desktop completely for changes to take effect. Confirm the server appears connected in the client’s tool list, then try a read-only example from its documentation.
