vscreen: A Real Browser for AI Agents, Streamed Live via WebRTC
An Anonymous Coward writes:
Jon Retting has released vscreen, a Rust service that gives AI agents a full Chromium browser with live WebRTC streaming - you see exactly what the AI sees in real-time and can take over mouse and keyboard at any point. The project provides 63 MCP (Model Context Protocol) tools for browser automation: navigation, screenshots, element discovery, cookie/CAPTCHA handling, and multi-agent coordination via lease-based locking.
Built from scratch in Rust - not a Puppeteer wrapper - the codebase is ~31,000 lines across 8 crates with unsafe forbidden, 510+ tests, 3 fuzz targets, and supply chain auditing via cargo-deny. Available as pre-built Linux binaries and Docker images. Source-available, non-commercial license.
