browserless-automation

Helps your agent automate tasks without using a full browser. Useful for quick web interactions. Allows the agent to perform online actions in a lightweight and agile way.

What it does

This tool lets you automate browser tasks without needing a graphical interface. It uses a system called Rube MCP to find and execute the necessary actions.

When to use it

  • ✓When you need to automatically extract information from a website.
  • ✓To fill out forms on websites without manual intervention.
  • ✓To test website functionalities in a programmed way.

Example of what to ask your AI

Browserless Automation via Rube MCP

Automate Browserless operations through Composio's Browserless toolkit via Rube MCP.

Toolkit docs: composio.dev/toolkits/browserless

Prerequisites

  • Rube MCP must be connected (RUBE_SEARCH_TOOLS available)
  • Active Browserless connection via RUBE_MANAGE_CONNECTIONS with toolkit browserless
  • Always call RUBE_SEARCH_TOOLS first to get current tool schemas

Setup

Get Rube MCP: Add https://rube.app/mcp as an MCP server in your client configuration. No API keys needed — just add the endpoint and it works.

  1. Verify Rube MCP is available by confirming RUBE_SEARCH_TOOLS responds
  2. Call RUBE_MANAGE_CONNECTIONS with toolkit browserless
  3. If connection is not ACTIVE, follow the returned auth link to complete setup
  4. Confirm connection status shows ACTIVE before running any workflows

Tool Discovery

Always discover available tools before executing workflows:

RUBE_SEARCH_TOOLS
queries: [{use_case: "Browserless operations", known_fields: ""}]
session: {generate_id: true}

This returns available tool slugs, input schemas, recommended execution plans, and known pitfalls.

Core Workflow Pattern

Step 1: Discover Available Tools

RUBE_SEARCH_TOOLS
queries: [{use_case: "your specific Browserless task"}]
session: {id: "existing_session_id"}

Step 2: Check Connection

RUBE_MANAGE_CONNECTIONS
toolkits: ["browserless"]
session_id: "your_session_id"

Step 3: Execute Tools

RUBE_MULTI_EXECUTE_TOOL
tools: [{
  tool_slug: "TOOL_SLUG_FROM_SEARCH",
  arguments: {/* schema-compliant args from search results */}
}]
memory: {}
session_id: "your_session_id"

Known Pitfalls

  • Always search first: Tool schemas change. Never hardcode tool slugs or arguments without calling RUBE_SEARCH_TOOLS
  • Check connection: Verify RUBE_MANAGE_CONNECTIONS shows ACTIVE status before executing tools
  • Schema compliance: Use exact field names and types from the search results
  • Memory parameter: Always include memory in RUBE_MULTI_EXECUTE_TOOL calls, even if empty ({})
  • Session reuse: Reuse session IDs within a workflow. Generate new ones for new workflows
  • Pagination: Check responses for pagination tokens and continue fetching until complete

Quick Reference

Operation Approach
Find tools RUBE_SEARCH_TOOLS with Browserless-specific use case
Connect RUBE_MANAGE_CONNECTIONS with toolkit browserless
Execute RUBE_MULTI_EXECUTE_TOOL with discovered tool slugs
Bulk ops RUBE_REMOTE_WORKBENCH with run_composio_tool()
Full schema RUBE_GET_TOOL_SCHEMAS for tools with schemaRef

FAQ

What is Rube MCP?

It's a system that helps the AI find and use tools to perform tasks, like automating browser actions.

Do I need to install anything?

You need to set up Rube MCP in your AI client and ensure the Browserless connection is active. API keys are generally not needed.

Why should I always search for tools first?

Tools and their instructions (schemas) can change. Searching first ensures the AI uses the latest and correct information to perform the task.
