BrowserOS

Publishes BrowserOS and neo’s external-agent MCP connection, with browser-specific Skills and client setup documentation.

About BrowserOS

The browseros-ai organization maintains BrowserOS, an agentic browser project. Its neo documentation describes a local MCP server for external tools, including coding agents, alongside the browser’s own interface.

BrowserOS brings agent tools into a browser product and exposes a neo MCP endpoint for external clients. The browser owns the page session; the connected agent issues tools and interprets their results. Connection checks should therefore establish both the selected browser context and a successful observation of the intended page.

Publisher identity, browser generation, and client configuration are separate facts. Use current neo documentation and official browseros-neo instructions together, and inspect the browser version before applying older extension tutorials.

Software from BrowserOS

First confirm access to the intended page and one permitted control action. Once both observations match the expected state, consider a task that uses an authenticated browser session.

Alternatives to BrowserOS Workflows

Compare CitroLabs for task Spaces in a shared browser, Browser MCP for extension access to existing Chrome, Microsoft for Playwright MCP automation, Chrome DevTools for page diagnostics. Choose by the browser environment and task result you need.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which repository is the upstream browser?
The BrowserOS repository under browseros-ai is the source linked here. A third-party MCP wrapper with a similar name is not automatically maintained by that organization.
Does the project expose external tools?
The neo documentation provides local MCP access and explicitly lists supported coding clients, including Cursor and Codex. This is distinct from its internal assistant UI.
Where is the official Skill maintained?
The browseros-neo Skill is in the BrowserOS repository. Use it with matching neo configuration rather than treating it as a separate browser release.
Is every BrowserOS tutorial current for neo?
No. Browser generations and connection mechanisms can change. Start with the installed browser’s MCP panel and current upstream guide.
What is the repository license?
The current repository is AGPL-3.0. Review distribution or modification obligations separately from the account and model configuration used for a browsing task.
Does local MCP prove local-only AI?
No. It describes the browser connection endpoint. The external host’s model and its content processing remain a separate configuration decision.

Verify a BrowserOS Connection

A connection check should prove that the agent sees and can act on the intended page, rather than merely reporting that an endpoint was configured.
