gosurfer

What it does

gosurfer is a powerful browser automation engine written in Go that combines the capabilities of an AI agent with the precision of Playwright-style locators. Its MCP server allows AI agents to autonomously browse the web, interact with complex UIs, and extract structured data without the overhead of Python or Node.js.

Tools

• search: Web search via Brave Search API for fast discovery.
• browse: Navigate to a URL and return focused, token-efficient markdown content.
• browse_full: Get the complete DOM state with indexed interactive elements for deep reasoning.
• screenshot: Capture the viewport or full page as a PNG.
• interact: Execute a sequence of actions (click, type, scroll) in one round trip.
• extract: Run JavaScript and return structured data from a page.
• pdf: Generate a PDF of the current page.
