The unified Browserbase CLI now lives under the browse command. You can use it for browser automation, Browserbase cloud APIs, Functions, templates, and skill installation. Use the Browse CLI when you want your agent to stay in the terminal for workflows like:
  • Browser automation — browse open, snapshot, click, fill, type, upload, screenshot, wait, and viewport
  • Navigation and inspection — browse back, forward, reload, highlight, refs, get, is, eval, and cdp
  • Session controls — browse status, stop, cursor, tab, network, and mouse
  • Cloud APIs — browse cloud for Browserbase projects, sessions, contexts, extensions, fetch, and search APIs
  • Functions — browse functions for function development, publishing, and invocation
  • Skills and templates — browse skills and browse templates for reusable browser workflows and scaffolds
The browse CLI is the current Browserbase CLI surface.
