Browser automation agent that acts and observes. Navigate, click, and extract — or inspect network traffic, debug console errors, profile performance, and audit accessibility. One Rust binary.
Single Rust binary. Full DevTools observability. 42 tools. 25 LLM providers. MCP server built-in.
Why acrawl?
Most browser agents stop at navigate and click. acrawl goes further: the agent can also inspect network requests, analyze console errors, measure page performance, audit accessibility, and intercept network calls — the full DevTools surface, available as first-class agent tools.
It ships as a single Rust binary. No Python runtime, no Node runtime, no Docker. Drop it into any server or CI pipeline and describe a goal; the agent figures out what to visit, what to click, what to inspect, and when it's done.
- One binary, zero runtimes. cargo build --release produces a self-contained executable. No Python, no Node runtime — just Rust and a Chromium download for browser automation.
- Acts and observes. The agent has the full DevTools surface as first-class tools: inspect network requests with timing, analyze and deduplicate console logs, stream WebSocket messages, measure page performance (TTFB, resource breakdown), audit cookies and browser storage, measure JS/CSS coverage, run axe-core WCAG accessibility audits, and intercept or mock network calls. No other agent framework exposes this.
- Deterministic where you can, AI where you must. Define loops, conditionals, and parallel branches as JSON scripts — executed without any LLM calls. Fall back to the agent when pages behave unexpectedly. Best of both worlds.
- No code required. Describe the goal in plain English. The agent plans, navigates, and extracts.
- Smart fetching. Static pages are served over HTTP (fast). When JavaScript or interaction is needed, acrawl detects JS framework markers (nextdata, nuxt, __vue, ng-app, React roots), auth redirects, and short bodies — then transparently escalates to a headless browser.
- Sub-agent parallelism. Fork child agents onto separate browser tabs with independent state and step budgets. A URL-claiming registry prevents siblings from crawling the same page twice.
- MCP client and server. Extend the agent with custom tools via Model Context Protocol servers. Or flip it: acrawl mcp exposes 38 browser and DevTools tools plus run_goal to Claude Code, Cursor, VS Code, Zed, and 13 other clients.
- 25 LLM providers. Anthropic, OpenAI, Google Gemini, DeepSeek, AWS Bedrock, Azure OpenAI, Vertex AI, GitHub Copilot, Groq, Mistral, xAI, Cohere, Alibaba DashScope, OpenRouter, and more. Or bring your own via any OpenAI-compatible endpoint.
