Install
$ dsh plugin --profile web add github:<owner>/dsh-browsercontrol-mcpPlugin Overview & Capabilities
AI-assisted organization based on the public repository snapshot. The content must be grounded in source evidence and does not replace compatibility or security verification.
Key Capabilities
- Exposes browser automation tools including navigation, clicks, form inputs, keyboard actions, drag-and-drop, snapshots, screenshots, console logs, network requests, and JS evaluation
- Supports three connection modes: launch (standalone browser), cdp (connecting to existing browser instance), and extension (Playwright extension)
- Provides interactive permission onboarding with automatic setup page opening for CDP remote debugging
- Includes /bw and /bw-setup slash commands to inspect browser status and launch the authorization flow
- Dynamically discovers Playwright MCP binaries and safely handles missing dependencies or duplicate registrations without crashing Harness
Useful For
- Enabling DeepSeek Harness agents to automate and interact with web applications in real browsers
- Taking over existing browser sessions with authenticated logins and active cookies via CDP
- Capturing screenshots, DOM snapshots, and inspecting network activity during automated agent tasks
Who It Fits
- Developers looking for reliable Playwright-based browser automation within DeepSeek Harness
- Users needing AI agents to interact with logged-in web applications without manual credential re-entry
Documented Limitations
- In cdp and extension modes, the agent can access all active sessions and stored credentials in the selected profile
- Requires an initial profile restart after plugin installation for the bundle to mount
- Firefox and WebKit require additional Playwright browser installation commands unlike Edge or Chrome
- JS execution tools (such as browser_evaluate and browser_run_code_unsafe) possess full remote code execution equivalence within the browser context
