Use when an agent must operate the live web — navigate, act, and extract on real pages — via a cloud browser driven by act/extract/observe primitives, with a local-Chromium escape hatch using the same code.

What it is
A cloud-browser stack: the Stagehand SDK exposes high-level act / extract / observe primitives (do this, pull this data, what's on the page) and runs them against a managed cloud browser. A thin CLI wraps it for shell invocation. It is the canonical way for an agent to operate the web rather than just scrape it.
When to use it
When the task requires interacting with a page — clicking, filling forms, navigating authenticated flows — not just reading static content. For read-only content extraction at scale, a scraping MCP is lighter.
How to install / invoke
Use the Stagehand SDK (or the CLI built on it) and point it at the cloud browser. The same Stagehand code runs against a local Chromium when you want an OSS, no-vendor-lock-in path.
Notes
Browser agents touch live authenticated sessions — the highest-risk surface. Block mutating requests at the network layer, treat extracted page content as untrusted, and require consent before acting on a user's behalf.
