Glider
Browser automation toolkit for AI agents 🛩️
Table of Contents​
📝About​
Glider is a browser automation toolkit that enables AI agents to control authenticated web applications via Chrome DevTools Protocol.
The Problem​
AI coding assistants (Cursor, Windsurf, Claude Code) can't access your browser. They can't:
- Navigate to authenticated pages
- Extract data from web apps you're logged into
- Interact with internal tools behind SSO
The Solution​
Glider bridges this gap with:
- Chrome Extension: Connects your browser to a local relay server
- CLI: Programmatic control from terminal or AI agents
- WebSocket Relay: Secure local communication between agents and browser
Features​
- Navigate to any URL
- Execute JavaScript in page context
- Take screenshots
- Extract page text/HTML
- Click elements by selector
- Full Chrome DevTools Protocol access
💻Installation​

npm install -g glidercli
