browsegrab
专为本地 LLM 设计的 Token 高效浏览器代理 — Playwright + 辅助功能树 + MarkGrab,原生支持 MCP。
browsegrab 是一个轻量级浏览器自动化库,专为本地 LLM(8B-35B 参数)设计。它结合了 Playwright 的辅助功能树和 MarkGrab 的 HTML 转 Markdown 功能,与 browser-use 等替代方案相比,每步 Token 消耗减少了 5-8 倍。
特性
Token 高效:每步约 500-1,500 个 Token(相比 browser-use 的 4,000-10,000 个)
本地 LLM 优先:针对 vLLM、Ollama 和兼容 OpenAI 的端点进行了优化
原生支持 MCP:内置 MCP 服务器,包含 8 个浏览器自动化工具
集成 MarkGrab:HTML → 简洁的 Markdown,用于内容提取
辅助功能树 + 引用系统:稳定的元素引用(
e1,e2, ...),无需视觉模型成功模式缓存:重复工作流无需调用 LLM
5 阶段 JSON 解析器:针对本地 LLM 输出的稳健动作解析
最小依赖:核心仅依赖

安装
pip install browsegrab
playwright install chromium可选功能:
pip install browsegrab[mcp] # MCP server support
pip install browsegrab[content] # MarkGrab content extraction
pip install browsegrab[cli] # CLI with rich output
pip install browsegrab[all] # Everything快速开始
Python API
from browsegrab import BrowseSession
async with BrowseSession() as session:
# Navigate and get accessibility tree snapshot
await session.navigate("https://example.com")
snap = await session.snapshot()
print(snap.tree_text)
# - heading "Example Domain" [level=1]
# - link "Learn more": [ref=e1]
# Click using ref ID
result = await session.click("e1")
print(result.url) # https://www.iana.org/help/example-domains
# Type into search box
await session.navigate("https://en.wikipedia.org")
snap = await session.snapshot()
await session.type("e4", "Python programming", submit=True)
# Extract compressed content (AX tree + markdown)
content = await session.extract_content()CLI
# Accessibility tree snapshot
browsegrab snapshot https://example.com
# JSON output
browsegrab snapshot https://example.com -f json
# Extract content (AX tree + markdown)
browsegrab extract https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Python
# Agentic browse (requires LLM endpoint)

browsegrab 将结构(辅助功能树)与内容(MarkGrab Markdown)分离,仅发送 LLM 所需的信息:
