Drop-in compatible

Change one line. Get routing, failover, and pooling for free.

app.ts

import { chromium } from "playwright-core";

// One line change. Route through the gateway.
const browser = await chromium.connectOverCDP(
  "http://localhost:9500"
);

const page = await browser.newPage();
await page.goto("https://example.com");
console.log(await page.title());
await browser.close();

Drop-in replacement. Change the URL, keep everything else.

Built for AI agents

Give every agent
a browser.
No setup required.

The built-in MCP server auto-detects Chrome on your system, launches it on first use, and gives AI agents 8 browser tools through the gateway's routing layer.

Works with Claude Code, Cursor, and any MCP client

Each agent session gets its own browser instance

Headed on desktop, headless in Docker/CI automatically

Routes through multi-provider gateway for failover

Persistent sessions

Sessions that
survive a crash.

Capture cookies, localStorage, and IndexedDB once. Replay across providers. Encrypted at rest, decrypted only inside the gateway.

Agents resume mid-workflow. State auto-captures on disconnect.

Capture on one provider, replay on another. No vendor lock-in.

AES-256-GCM at rest. Key never leaves the gateway.

Inject by URL

wss://browsergateway.io/v1/connect?profile=acme-prod

Any client, any provider. The gateway loads the profile before your code runs and saves changes when the session ends.

Session replay

See what
the agent saw.

When an agent breaks at 3am, screenshots and logs are not enough. Replay the whole session frame-by-frame. Shipped in v0.3.5, on by default.

Replay docs

CDP screencast at the router

Every routed session gets Page.startScreencast on the provider's Chrome. JPEG frames with SHA-1 dedup keep storage down.

Scrub the timeline

The dashboard replays frames in order. Jump to any second of any session, on any provider.

Export as MP4

One button turns a replay into a video file. ffmpeg auto-installs on first export.

Retention you control

7-day default, configurable to any window. Per-session byte cap. Encrypted on disk with the profile key.

Features

Everything you need to route browsers

5 Routing Strategies

Priority chain, round-robin, least-connections, latency-optimized, and weighted distribution.

Automatic Failover

Provider goes down? Next one picks up instantly. TTL-based cooldowns with auto-recovery.

MCP Server

8 browser tools for AI agents. Navigate, screenshot, snapshot, interact, evaluate. Zero config.

Request Queue

All providers busy? Connections wait in a FIFO queue instead of failing. Configurable timeouts.

Concurrency Limits

Set maxConcurrent per provider. The gateway enforces it so providers never get overwhelmed.

Encrypted Profiles

Cookies, localStorage, and IndexedDB captured per profile. AES-256-GCM at rest, replayable across providers.

Session Reconnect

Dropped clients reconnect to the same browser via session id. Cookies and page state stay intact.

Web Dashboard

Manage providers, view live sessions, edit config, and monitor health, all from the browser.

Health Monitoring

Periodic connectivity probes detect unhealthy providers. Cooldown system skips failing ones.

Webhooks

Get notified when providers go down, recover, enter cooldown, or when the queue overflows.

Protocol Agnostic

Works with CDP, Playwright protocol, and WebDriver BiDi. The raw TCP pipe forwards any WebSocket protocol.
