Tools Browser Automation

✅ Demo Tier — All tools available in the free Demo tier at demo.cbrowser.ai/mcp

25 tools in this category.

Navigate, click, fill forms, hover, type, press keys, drag and drop, upload files, handle JS dialogs, run JavaScript, inspect console and network, manage cookies/storage/tabs. All tools support _browserToken for session continuity.

Every browser action in CBrowser uses AI-powered element resolution. Describe what you want to click in natural language. The self-healing selector system finds it. If elements move or change, selectors auto-heal.
