history
Project history and usage
BrowserOS neo is a free, open-source secondary browser that lets MCP-compatible AI agents operate authenticated web sessions while users watch and replay their actions.
Project history
BrowserOS originated in 2025 as an open-source Chromium-based agentic-browser project. The repository now ships two related products: BrowserOS, an AI browser driven by a person, and BrowserOS neo, a secondary browser driven by external AI agents.
Neo combines a Chromium fork with a Rust MCP and JSON backend plus a browser dashboard. Its product design centers on imported browser state, parallel agent sessions, live observation, and replayable local audit trails.
Adoption history
BrowserOS neo targets users of MCP-capable agents including Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, VS Code, Zed, OpenClaw, and Hermes. Its one-click connection flow and Chrome import are designed to reduce the setup friction that commonly limits authenticated browser automation.
How it is used
Users install neo, import logins, bookmarks, extensions, and settings from Chrome, then connect an MCP-capable agent. Agent work appears in isolated tabs and in a new-tab dashboard, with each session available for later replay.
Official documentation says session history, screenshots, settings, and replay data remain on the local computer under ~/.browserclaw/. The browser is intended for authenticated tasks such as inbox work, filing expenses, updating web applications, and retrieving reports.
Why package nerds care
BrowserOS neo represents a shift from disposable headless-browser sessions toward a locally installed, inspectable browser environment for agents. Package users get a reproducible desktop installation while retaining real browser state, isolated agent tabs, an MCP endpoint, and on-disk audit artifacts.
Timeline
