- Direct your favorite coding agent (Cursor, ClaudeS, etc) to Agents.md
- Prompt away!
1. Create environment with uv (Python>=3.11):
uv init2. Install Browser-Use package:
# We ship every day - use the latest version! uv add browser-use uv sync3. Get your API key from Browser Use Cloud and add it to your .env file (new signups get $10 free credits):
# .env BROWSER_USE_API_KEY=your-key 4. Download chromium using playwright's shortcut:
uvx playwright install chromium --with-deps --no-shell5. Run your first agent:
frombrowser_useimportAgent, Browser, ChatBrowserUseimportasyncioasyncdefexample(): browser=Browser( # use_cloud=True, # Uncomment to use a stealth browser on Browser Use Cloud ) llm=ChatBrowserUse() agent=Agent( task="Find the number of stars of the browser-use repo", llm=llm, browser=browser, ) history=awaitagent.run() returnhistoryif__name__=="__main__": history=asyncio.run(example())Check out the library docs and the cloud docs for more!

What's the best model to use?
We optimized ChatBrowserUse() specifically for browser automation tasks. On avg it completes tasks 3-5x faster than other models with SOTA accuracy.
For other LLM providers, see our supported models documentation.
Can I use custom tools with the agent?
Yes! You can add custom tools to extend the agent's capabilities:
frombrowser_use.toolsimportTool@Tool()defcustom_tool(param: str) ->str: """Description of what this tool does."""returnf"Result: {param}"agent=Agent( task="Your task", llm=llm, browser=browser, use_custom_tools=[custom_tool], )See our Custom Tools documentation for more examples.
Can I use this for free?
Yes! Browser-Use is open source and free to use. You only need to choose an LLM provider (like OpenAI, Google, ChatBrowserUse, or run local models with Ollama).
How do I handle authentication?
Check out our authentication examples:
- Using real browser profiles - Reuse your existing Chrome profile with saved logins
- If you want to use temporary accounts with inbox, choose AgentMail
- To sync your auth profile with the remote browser, run
curl -fsSL https://browser-use.com/profile.sh | BROWSER_USE_API_KEY=XXXX sh(replace XXXX with your API key)
These examples show how to maintain sessions and handle authentication seamlessly.
How do I solve CAPTCHAs?
For CAPTCHA handling, you need better browser fingerprinting and proxies. Use Browser Use Cloud which provides stealth browsers designed to avoid detection and CAPTCHA challenges.
How do I go into production?
Chrome can consume a lot of memory, and running many agents in parallel can be tricky to manage.
For production use cases, use our Browser Use Cloud API which handles:
- Scalable browser infrastructure
- Memory management
- Proxy rotation
- Stealth browser fingerprinting
- High-performance parallel execution
Tell your computer what to do, and it gets it done.
