Browser

Every Ren pod includes a managed Playwright browser. No setup required. Agents can navigate pages, fill forms, click buttons, extract data, and interact with web interfaces, all inside the sandbox. The browser has access to the session’s vault credentials for authenticated browsing.

How it works

The browser is provided as a local MCP server (browser) that runs inside the pod. When an agent needs to browse, it calls one of the browser tools:

Tool	What it does
browser_create_session	Open a new browser session and get a live-view URL
browser_navigate	Go to a URL
browser_screenshot	Capture the current page
browser_click	Click an element
browser_type	Type text into an input
browser_scroll	Scroll the page
browser_evaluate	Run JavaScript in the page context
browser_close_session	Close the session and get a replay URL

The browser is available automatically. You don’t need to add it as an MCP server or configure anything. Agents discover it at runtime.

Using the browser in prompts and skills

Reference browser actions directly in a prompt or skill instructions:

Go to https://example.com/dashboard, log in using the credentials from the vault,
and take a screenshot of the analytics page.

For authenticated browsing, store credentials in a vault attached to the pod. The browser can access them during the session.
