NeoBrowser functions as an MCP (Multi-Control Protocol) server, enabling AI models to control a live instance of Google Chrome. This allows AI to interact with web pages using actual logged-in user sessions, which helps in navigating websites that typically block automated access.
Unlike standard headless browsers that often lack cookies and present easily detectable fingerprints, NeoBrowser utilizes real Chrome profiles. This method allows the AI to appear as a legitimate user, successfully passing bot detection mechanisms and avoiding login walls, as demonstrated by its ability to pass tests like bot.sannysoft.
NeoBrowser is designed to detect interactive web challenges such as reCAPTCHA or Turnstile. When such a challenge is encountered, it hands control back, allowing for a human or real-session intervention, which contributes to its reliability in web automation tasks.
The server is implemented in Rust, resulting in a compact, single ~4 MB static binary that does not require additional runtime installations. It supports macOS, Linux, and Windows, and automatically discovers Chrome installations, with an option for manual path specification.

NeoBrowser is a new MCP server that allows AI models to interact with websites using a real Google Chrome browser and existing logged-in user sessions. This approach helps AI models bypass bot detection and login walls by appearing as a genuine user, unlike typical headless browser solutions.
