+ # Aether — AI Browser Controller
2
+
3
+ Aether is an MCP (Model Context Protocol) server that lets AI coding agents inspect and control a real browser through the Chrome DevTools Protocol (CDP). No browser extension needed.
4
+
5
+ ## Install
6
+
7
+ ```bash
8
+ npx aether-mcp-server
9
+ ```
10
+
11
+ Or globally:
12
+
13
+ ```bash
14
+ npm install -g aether-mcp-server
15
+ aether-mcp-server
16
+ ```
17
+
18
+ ## MCP Client Config
19
+
20
+ Add this to your MCP client (Cursor, Claude Code, Codex, KiloCode, etc.):
21
+
22
+ ```json
23
+ {
24
+ "mcpServers": {
25
+ "aether-browser": {
26
+ "command": "npx",
27
+ "args": ["-y", "aether-mcp-server"]
28
+ }
29
+ }
30
+ }
31
+ ```
32
+
33
+ If installed globally:
34
+
35
+ ```json
36
+ {
37
+ "mcpServers": {
38
+ "aether-browser": {
39
+ "command": "aether-mcp-server",
40
+ "args": []
41
+ }
42
+ }
43
+ }
44
+ ```
45
+
46
+ That's it. No cloning. No building. No absolute paths.
47
+
48
+ ## What It Does
49
+
50
+ - Launches or connects to Chrome, Edge, Brave, or Firefox with remote debugging
51
+ - Exposes MCP tools for navigation, clicking, typing, form filling, screenshots, tabs, logs, cookies, network controls, PDF printing, and page inspection
52
+ - Uses native CDP input events instead of fragile DOM-only hacks
53
+ - Provides Set-of-Marks style visual element references for screenshot-based workflows
54
+ - Resolves elements by selector, text, role, accessible name, label, placeholder, XPath, coordinates, same-origin iframe content, and shadow DOM content
55
+ - Caches compact page snapshots and invalidates them on DOM/navigation/runtime events
56
+
57
+ ## Browser Setup
58
+
59
+ Launch a clean browser automatically:
60
+
61
+ ```
62
+ launch_browser()
63
+ ```
64
+
65
+ Pick a specific browser:
66
+
67
+ ```
68
+ launch_browser(browser="chrome")
69
+ launch_browser(browser="edge")
70
+ launch_browser(browser="brave")
71
+ ```
72
+
73
+ Connect to an existing browser with remote debugging:
74
+
75
+ ```bash
76
+ chrome --remote-debugging-port=9222
77
+ ```
78
+
79
+ Then:
80
+
81
+ ```
82
+ connect_browser(mode="connect", port=9222)
83
+ ```
84
+
85
+ ## Key Tools
86
+
87
+ - `browser_status` — connection and active tab status
88
+ - `snapshot_compact` — title, URL, readyState, and interactive element list
89
+ - `list_interactive_elements` — element refs for click/fill flows
90
+ - `click_by_ref` — click refs returned by compact snapshots
91
+ - `click_text`, `click_role`, `fill_label` — semantic actions powered by the locator engine
92
+ - `get_state` — optional screenshot, tabs, DOM snapshot, and elements
93
+ - `get_logs`, `get_network_errors` — compact debugging output
94
+ - `act` — broad compatibility action tool
95
+
96
+ ## Project-Local Learning
97
+
98
+ Aether stores learned lessons and skills in `.aether/` inside your project:
99
+
100
+ ```
101
+ <project>/.aether/
102
+ memory/
103
+ lessons.jsonl
104
+ learned.json
105
+ skills/
106
+ <skill-name>/SKILL.md
107
+ _registry.json
108
+ memory-config.json
109
+ ```
110
+
111
+ Call `configure_aether_memory` with your project root to enable it. Aether creates `.aether/` and adds it to `.gitignore`.
112
+
113
+ ## Environment Variables
114
+
115
+ | Variable | Purpose |
116
+ |---|---|
117
+ | `AETHER_MODE` | `"cdp"` (default) or `"extension"` |
118
+ | `AETHER_PROJECT_ROOT` | Fallback project root for aether memory |
119
+
