πŸ€– Browser Automation Agent

A powerful browser automation tool built with MCP (Model Controlled Program) that combines web scraping capabilities with LLM-powered intelligence. This agent can search Google, navigate to webpages, and intelligently scrape content from various websites including GitHub, Stack Overflow, and documentation sites.

πŸš€ Features

  • πŸ” Google Search Integration: Finds and retrieves top search results for any query
  • πŸ•ΈοΈ Intelligent Web Scraping: Tailored scraping strategies for different website types:
    • πŸ“‚ GitHub repositories
    • πŸ’¬ Stack Overflow questions and answers
    • πŸ“š Documentation pages
    • 🌐 Generic websites
  • 🧠 AI-Powered Processing: Uses Mistral AI for understanding and processing scraped content
  • πŸ₯· Stealth Mode: Implements browser fingerprint protection to avoid detection
  • πŸ’Ύ Content Saving: Automatically saves both screenshots and text content from scraped pages

πŸ—οΈ Architecture

This project uses a client-server architecture powered by MCP:

  • πŸ–₯️ Server: Handles browser automation and web scraping tasks
  • πŸ‘€ Client: Provides the AI interface using Mistral AI and LangGraph
  • πŸ“‘ Communication: Uses stdio for client-server communication

βš™οΈ Requirements

  • 🐍 Python 3.8+
  • 🎭 Playwright
  • 🧩 MCP (Model Controlled Program)
  • πŸ”‘ Mistral AI API key

πŸ“₯ Installation

  1. Clone the repository:
git clone https://github.com/yourusername/browser-automation-agent.git
cd browser-automation-agent
  1. Install dependencies:
pip install -r requirements.txt
  1. Install Playwright browsers:
playwright install
  1. Create a .env file in the project root and add your Mistral AI API key:
MISTRAL_API_KEY=your_api_key_here

πŸ“‹ Usage

Running the Server

python main.py

Running the Client

python client.py

Sample Interaction

Once both the server and client are running:

  1. Enter your query when prompted
  2. The agent will:
    • πŸ” Search Google for relevant results
    • 🧭 Navigate to the top result
    • πŸ“Š Scrape content based on the website type
    • πŸ“Έ Save screenshots and content to files
    • πŸ“€ Return processed information

πŸ› οΈ Tool Functions

πŸ“ File Structure

browser-automation-agent/
β”œβ”€β”€ main.py            # MCP server implementation

β”œβ”€β”€ requirements.txt   # Project dependencies
β”œβ”€β”€ .env               # Environment variables (API keys)
└── README.md          # Project documentation

πŸ“€ Output Files

The agent generates two types of output files with timestamps:

  • πŸ“Έ final_page_YYYYMMDD_HHMMSS.png: Screenshot of the final page state
  • πŸ“„ scraped_content_YYYYMMDD_HHMMSS.txt: Extracted text content from the page

βš™οΈ Customization

You can modify the following parameters in the code:

  • πŸ–₯️ Browser window size: Adjust width and height in browse_and_scrape
  • πŸ‘» Headless mode: Set headless=True for invisible browser operation
  • πŸ”’ Number of Google results: Change num_results in get_top_google_url

❓ Troubleshooting

  • πŸ”Œ Connection Issues: Ensure both server and client are running in separate terminals
  • 🎭 Playwright Errors: Make sure browsers are installed with playwright install
  • πŸ”‘ API Key Errors: Verify your Mistral API key is correctly set in the .env file
  • πŸ›£οΈ Path Errors: Update the path to main.py in client.py if needed
