README

cdpilot

Zero-dependency browser automation from your terminal. One command, full control.

Quick Start

npx cdpilot launch    # Start browser with CDP
npx cdpilot go https://example.com
npx cdpilot shot      # Take screenshot

No config files. No boilerplate. Just npx and go.

Why cdpilot?

AI agents and developers need browser control that just works:

Zero config — npx cdpilot launch starts an isolated browser session
Zero dependency — No Puppeteer, no Playwright, no Selenium. Pure CDP over HTTP
40+ commands — Navigate, click, type, screenshot, network, console, accessibility, and more
AI-agent friendly — Designed for Claude, GPT, Gemini, and any LLM tool-use workflow
Isolated sessions — Your personal browser stays untouched. cdpilot runs in its own profile
Visual feedback — Green glow overlay, cursor visualization, click ripples, and keystroke display keep you informed during automation
Multi-project isolation — Each project gets its own browser instance and port automatically, no conflicts
AI control warning — Red toast notification appears when you hover during active automation
Privacy-first — Everything runs locally. No data leaves your machine

Browser Selection (Workload-Aware Auto-Pick)

cdpilot picks the right browser for what you're doing. auto (default) is a two-axis policy — extension workload × platform stability:

Your workload	Auto-pick order
Has extensions registered (`ext-install`)	vivaldi → brave → edge → chromium → chrome
No extensions (pure automation)	chrome → vivaldi → edge → chromium → brave

Override anytime:

cdpilot browser            # show current pick + reason
cdpilot browser vivaldi    # pin to Vivaldi
cdpilot browser auto       # restore smart default

Why the split?

Chrome 147+ silently drops --load-extension for unpacked extensions (no error, no warning). Verified — chrome://extensions shows 0 items.
Vivaldi, Brave, Edge, Chromium honor --load-extension (tested).
On macOS 26 (Tahoe) Brave 1.89 crashes deterministically at ~7min uptime (SIGTRAP in ThreadPoolForegroundWorker). cdpilot detects the OS and demotes Brave automatically until a fixed Brave release ships.

Each browser gets its own isolated profile (~/.cdpilot/.../profile-vivaldi etc.) so switching never causes prefs corruption.

Installation

# Use directly (no install needed)
npx cdpilot <command>

# Or install globally
npm i -g cdpilot

Requirements: Node.js 18+ and one of: Brave Browser, Google Chrome, or Chromium.

First-time setup

npx cdpilot setup     # Auto-detect browser, create isolated profile
npx cdpilot launch    # Start browser with CDP enabled
npx cdpilot status    # Check connection

Upgrading from 0.4.x → 0.5.0 — read this first

One breaking change, the rest is additive.

Breaking — Visual feedback default flipped to OFF. The green glow border, animated fake cursor, click ripples, and keystroke display made cdpilot feel like an amateur typing on every page. They are now opt-in:

cdpilot show on     # restore the old visual feedback layer
cdpilot show off    # default since 0.5.0
