hanzi-browse vs flowlens-mcp-server

It offers two modes: as a browser sub-agent for coding agents or as a REST API/SDK for product integration. The tool automatically configures MCP for multiple AI agents and requires only an npx command to set up.; flowlens-mcp-server: FlowLens MCP server allows coding agents to access full browser context from recorded flows. It enables in-depth debugging and regression testing without reproducing issues. Users can record browser flows with the Chrome extension and share them with their agent.
