Open-source local browser tooling for AI agents
Thunjaya · reddit · 2026-07-20
The author open-sourced WAP (Web Agent Proxy), a local browser infrastructure layer for AI agents.
It provides:
- an HTTP API that routes agent/tool requests to WebSocket browser runners, including a Playwright simulator
- MCP server support plus LangChain adapters for easy integration
- actions for scraping, screenshots, markdown extraction, and interactive steps such as go, click, fill, press, and wait
- multi-runner queueing, health checks, sticky sessions, and named persistent profiles
- optional AES-256-GCM end-to-end encryption so payloads remain opaque to the relay bridge
