Launches a Playwright-controlled Chromium browser running a browser-use AI agent that autonomously navigates a web application based on natural language task instructions. The agent executes multi-step interactions (clicks, form fills, navigation) and returns a structured Web Evaluation Report containing agent action steps, console logs, network requests, screenshots, and a chronological timeline—all captured within a single MCP tool call without developer manual verification.
Unique: Integrates browser-use AI agent directly into MCP protocol, enabling IDE coding agents to autonomously evaluate web apps and receive structured diagnostic reports (console logs, network requests, screenshots, timeline) in a single tool call—eliminating manual browser verification loops. Uses Playwright's Chrome DevTools Protocol (CDP) for real-time screencast streaming and event capture, not just screenshot snapshots.
vs alternatives: Unlike Selenium-based testing frameworks or Cypress, web-eval-agent is purpose-built for AI agent integration via MCP, requires zero test script authoring (tasks are natural language), and captures full diagnostic context (network, console, timeline) automatically—making it faster for AI-assisted development workflows than traditional QA automation.
Opens an interactive Chromium browser window controlled by the developer (not an AI agent) for manual login and session establishment. The tool persists browser state (cookies, local storage, session storage) to ~/.operative/browser_state/ as a reusable artifact that subsequent web_eval_agent calls can load, eliminating the need to re-authenticate for each evaluation and enabling testing of authenticated user workflows.
Unique: Decouples authentication setup from automated testing by persisting full browser state (cookies, localStorage, sessionStorage) to disk, allowing subsequent agent evaluations to inherit authenticated sessions without re-implementing login logic. Uses Playwright's browser context serialization to capture and restore complete session state, not just cookies.
vs alternatives: Unlike environment-variable-based token injection or hardcoded credentials, this approach captures the full browser state including cookies, local storage, and session artifacts, making it compatible with complex authentication flows (OAuth, SAML, 2FA) that cannot be scripted. More flexible than pre-recorded HAR files because it captures live session state.
Allows users to choose between headless mode (no visible browser window, faster execution) and headed mode (visible browser window, useful for debugging). Headless mode is the default for CI/CD and automated workflows; headed mode is useful for interactive debugging where the developer wants to see the browser in real-time. Mode selection is passed as a parameter to the web_eval_agent tool.
Unique: Provides simple boolean parameter to toggle between headless and headed modes, enabling both automated CI/CD workflows and interactive debugging without code changes. Default is headless for performance; headed mode is opt-in for visual debugging.
vs alternatives: Unlike tools that force headless-only or headed-only execution, web-eval-agent supports both modes with a single parameter, making it flexible for different use cases (CI/CD vs. interactive debugging).
Implements a FastMCP-based Model Context Protocol server that exposes web_eval_agent and setup_browser_state as callable tools to IDE clients (Cursor, Cline, Windsurf, Claude Code). The server validates OPERATIVE_API_KEY on every tool invocation, generates unique tool_call_ids for request tracking, and marshals parameters/responses between the IDE and internal tool handlers using MCP's standardized schema.
Unique: Uses FastMCP framework to expose tools via Model Context Protocol, enabling seamless integration with IDE AI agents without custom client code. Implements per-call API key validation (not just server startup) and generates unique tool_call_ids for request tracing, providing both security and observability at the protocol level.
vs alternatives: Compared to REST API or gRPC approaches, MCP provides native IDE integration with zero client-side configuration—tools appear directly in the IDE's AI agent context. Compared to direct Python imports, MCP enables remote server deployment and multi-user access control.
Manages Playwright browser lifecycle (launch, context creation, page navigation) and establishes a Chrome DevTools Protocol (CDP) session to stream real-time page frames via Page.startScreencast. Frames are transmitted to a local log server (Flask/SocketIO on port 5009) for live visualization in the Operative Control Center UI, enabling real-time observation of agent actions without polling or screenshot intervals.
Unique: Uses Chrome DevTools Protocol (CDP) Page.startScreencast to stream real-time browser frames to a local log server, enabling live visualization of agent actions in the Operative Control Center UI. This is more efficient than polling screenshots at intervals and provides frame-accurate timing for timeline reconstruction.
vs alternatives: Unlike screenshot-based approaches that capture discrete moments, CDP screencast provides continuous frame streaming, enabling smooth playback and precise timing of interactions. More efficient than video recording because frames are streamed to a local server rather than encoded to disk.
Instantiates a browser-use AI agent (powered by Claude or another LLM) with a natural language task instruction and a Playwright browser context. The agent autonomously decides which DOM elements to interact with, executes multi-step workflows (navigation, form submission, data extraction), and reports back with action steps and outcomes. The agent uses vision-based element detection (via screenshots) and reasoning to handle dynamic or unfamiliar UI patterns without pre-scripted selectors.
Unique: Leverages browser-use library's vision-based agent to autonomously navigate web apps using visual reasoning rather than brittle CSS/XPath selectors. The agent reasons about page content, makes decisions about which elements to interact with, and adapts to dynamic UIs—all without pre-scripted test cases.
vs alternatives: Unlike Selenium or Cypress, which require explicit selectors and scripted workflows, browser-use agents reason visually about the page and adapt to UI changes. Unlike traditional RPA tools, browser-use agents understand natural language task instructions and can handle novel UI patterns without configuration.
Aggregates browser events (console logs, network requests, page errors), screenshots, and agent action steps into a structured JSON evaluation report with a chronological timeline. The report includes metadata (URL, task, execution time), diagnostic data (console output, network activity), visual artifacts (base64-encoded screenshots), and a summary of agent actions—all formatted for programmatic consumption by IDE tools or CI/CD systems.
Unique: Combines browser diagnostics (console logs, network requests, page errors), visual artifacts (screenshots), and agent reasoning (action steps) into a single structured JSON report with chronological timeline. This enables both human review (via screenshots and narrative) and programmatic analysis (via structured data).
vs alternatives: Unlike screenshot-only reports or text logs, this structured format includes both human-readable artifacts (screenshots, timeline) and machine-readable data (console logs, network requests, agent steps), making it suitable for both manual debugging and automated CI/CD analysis.
Launches a Flask/SocketIO server on port 5009 that receives real-time browser events (screencast frames, console logs, network requests) via WebSocket and serves an Operative Control Center UI dashboard. The dashboard displays live browser screencast, agent action steps, console output, and network activity as the evaluation runs, enabling real-time monitoring without polling or manual log inspection.
Unique: Implements a real-time log server using Flask/SocketIO that streams browser events (screencast frames, console logs, network requests) to a live dashboard UI. This enables simultaneous observation of multiple data streams (video, logs, network) in a unified interface without polling or manual log inspection.
vs alternatives: Unlike static report generation, the log server provides real-time streaming of events, enabling live debugging and progress monitoring. Compared to browser DevTools, the dashboard aggregates multiple data sources (screencast, console, network, agent steps) in a single view tailored for evaluation workflows.
