Why it matters
We look beyond stars: what problem it solves, whether it creates real utility, and what makes its approach worth noticing.
Problem
Addresses the fragmentation between web automation and CLI tools, allowing users to invoke browser sessions directly from the terminal.
Practical value
Combines a browser extension with a local daemon to provide stable control over logged-in Chrome sessions and standardized interfaces for AI agents.
Innovation / differentiation
Abstracts browser actions into programmable CLI commands and enables AI agents to generate or repair web adapters, lowering maintenance overhead for automation scripts.
Leverage potential
Integrates various local tools and desktop applications under a unified CLI interface, suitable for constructing complex automation workflows.
Why now
Aligns with the trend of AI agents interacting with local browsers, providing a more deterministic interaction method for LLMs.
Community activity
In the last 90 days there were 144 new issues and 347 pull requests; the bounded issue/PR samples include 66 issue authors and 45 PR contributors, with at least 3 releases.
Maintainer responsiveness
The 99-issue window sample had a 67% close rate, and the 94-pull-request sample had a 60% merge rate. Maintainer-response observations covered 82% of that issue sample, with a 11% response rate and median first response of 2.2 days.
Key highlights
- Built-in adapters: CLI commands for Bilibili, Zhihu, Xiaohongshu, Reddit, HackerNews, Twitter, and more
- AI agent operation: after installing skills, agents can navigate, click, type, fill, extract via logged-in browser
- Write new adapters: end-to-end adapter authoring with
opencli browserandopencli-adapter-authorskill
Quick start
How it is installed, how hard it is, and where to start.
Where it runs
Runs locally
Difficulty
Easy — follow the steps
- 01Install OpenCLI: Download OpenCLIApp (macOS/Windows) recommended, or install globally via npm (requires Node.js ≥ 20).
- 02Install the Browser Bridge Extension: Install OpenCLI from Chrome Web Store, or manually load the unpacked extension.
- 03Verify setup: Run
opencli doctorto check browser connectivity. - 04Run your first commands: e.g.,
opencli hackernews top --limit 5oropencli bilibili hot --limit 5.
Best for
- Teams that want data on their own servers
- Developers who want to try it on their machine
More about it
OpenCLI converts any website into a CLI & runs Browser Use on your logged-in Chrome. It turns 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-browserskill 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 viaopencli browserprimitives. - Write new adapters end-to-end with
opencli browser+ theopencli-adapter-authorskill, which guides from first recon through field decoding, code, andopencli 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.
