let any ai agent use the local browser

Hanzi Browse provides 24 site playbooks as hints for LLM-based browsing agents, helping them handle complex real-world websites. 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.
