About

A lighter, faster browser for agents that read and act on the web

Install with curl -fsSL https://pkg.lightpanda.io/install.sh | bash (or Homebrew, or the Docker image that exposes CDP on port 9222). For MCP, add the binary with the argument mcp to your client config, or run lightpanda mcp --port 9223 to serve several agents from one process with separate sessions. Things to know: there is no rendering, so it is not a fit for tasks that need screenshots of styled pages or visual clicking; there is no native Windows binary, use WSL; an agent skill lives in lightpanda-io/agent-skill.

Features

  • Headless engine written in Zig, no graphical rendering
  • CDP server for Puppeteer, Playwright and chromedp
  • Native MCP server over stdio or HTTP with per-agent sessions
  • Agent mode that records replayable PandaScript sessions
  • Dump pages to HTML, Markdown or structured data
  • Self-host for free or use the hosted Cloud offer
