aipex-browser
AI-powered browser automation using the AIPex Chrome Extension via MCP bridge. Use this skill when the agent needs to control a Chrome browser — navigating pages, clicking elements, filling forms, capturing screenshots, managing tabs, or downloading content — by connecting to the AIPex MCP bridge.
Install via CLI (Recommended)
clawhub install openclaw/skills/skills/buttercannfly/skill-6What This Skill Does
The aipex-browser skill acts as a high-level bridge between your AI agent and the Google Chrome browser via the AIPex Chrome Extension. By leveraging the Model Context Protocol (MCP), it enables the agent to take direct control of browser tabs. This allows the AI to perform complex, multi-step web interactions, such as navigating to specific URLs, interacting with DOM elements (clicking buttons, filling forms), scraping real-time data, and capturing visual snapshots of the browser window. The architecture ensures that the agent can interact with any web-based interface as if it were a human user, effectively turning your browser into a programmable interface for automation.
Installation
Installation is handled through the OpenClaw skill registry and local configuration. First, execute the installation command provided by OpenClaw to fetch the package. Once installed, you must register the MCP server in your environment configuration (e.g., .cursor/mcp.json or claude_desktop_config.json) using the npx -y aipex-mcp-bridge command. Finally, open the AIPex Chrome Extension settings and point the WebSocket connection to ws://localhost:9223. Once connected, the agent will dynamically discover the browser tools provided by the bridge.
Use Cases
This skill is ideal for tasks requiring human-like interaction with web applications. Common use cases include: automating repetitive data entry tasks across web forms, performing regression testing by simulating user clicks, scraping dynamic content that requires JavaScript execution, monitoring price changes or availability on e-commerce sites, and managing browser sessions for administrative workflows. It is especially powerful for tasks where APIs are non-existent or restricted.
Example Prompts
- "Open a new tab, navigate to the company dashboard, and export the Q3 sales report as a CSV file."
- "Search for the latest research papers on 'Generative AI' in Google Scholar, then take a screenshot of the top 3 results and summarize them."
- "Go to the project management portal, find the ticket labeled 'BUG-402', and add a comment saying 'Investigating this issue now'."
Tips & Limitations
To ensure stable performance, keep the Chrome browser window open while the agent is running tasks. If the agent loses connection, verify that the AIPex extension is still connected to the local WebSocket port. Note that this skill depends on the DOM structure of web pages; websites with aggressive anti-bot protections or highly obfuscated HTML may require more robust selector strategies. Always ensure your browser is up to date to maintain compatibility with the latest AIPex extension updates.
