OpenCLI
Convert any website into a CLI & run Browser Use on your logged-in Chrome. Turn websites, browser sessions, Electron apps, and local tools into deterministic interfaces for humans and AI agents. Or run Browser Use against any page — navigate, fill forms, click, extract, automate.
OpenCLI gives you one surface for three different kinds of automation:
- Use built-in adapters for sites like Bilibili, Zhihu, Xiaohongshu, Reddit, HackerNews, Twitter/X, and many more.
- Let AI Agents operate any website — install the opencli-browser skill in your AI agent (Claude Code, Cursor, etc.), and it can navigate, click, type/fill, extract, and inspect any page through your logged-in browser via opencli browser primitives.
- Write new adapters end-to-end with opencli browser + the opencli-adapter-author skill, which guides from first recon through field decoding, code, and opencli browser verify.
It also works as a CLI hub for local tools such as gh, docker, longbridge, tg, discord, wx, ntn (Notion), and other binaries you register yourself, plus desktop app adapters for Electron apps like Cursor, Trae CN, Codex, Antigravity, ChatGPT, and Trae SOLO.
Quick Start
1. Install OpenCLI
For desktop use, start with OpenCLIApp. It bundles the OpenCLI runtime, keeps the managed opencli command installed, and gives you a system tray UI for setup, diagnostics, updates, browser-login keepalive, and Web → Markdown.
Option A — OpenCLIApp (recommended for macOS / Windows): Download the latest app from <https://opencli.info/download, install it, then open the app once and use the System page to install or repair the opencli command.
Option B — npm global install (CLI-only / CI / servers): OpenCLI requires Node.js = 20 when installed through npm.
node --version
npm install -g @jackwener/opencli2. Install the Browser Bridge Extension
OpenCLI connects to Chrome/Chromium through a lightweight Browser Bridge extension plus a small local daemon. The daemon auto-starts when needed.
Option A — Chrome Web Store (recommended): Install OpenCLI from the Chrome Web Store.
Option B — Manual install:
- Download the latest opencli-extension-v{version}.zip from the GitHub Releases page.
- Unzip it, open chrome://extensions, and enable Developer mode.
- Click Load unpacked and select the unzipped folder.
3. Verify the setup
