I gave Claude Code full control over my browser

I embedded the latest shorts from my Youtube channel to my Wordpress blog using Browser Harness

Transcript

You only live once. So, let's give the Cloud Code full access to your browser. That's my blog homepage.

And I want to add the latest short that I recorded and posted on my YouTube channel to here and embed it. And there is no API or MCP that I could use, but browser harness to the rescue. Browser harness is a Cloud Code skill, a self-healing agentic harness.

It allows controlling the browser at a very high level. You don't need to give Cloud Code exact steps to follow or CSS selectors to click like you had to do in Selenium or Playwright. Browser harness takes screenshots of the page and Cloud Code will figure out where to click.

As any other skill, browser harness contains skill. md file and a bunch of other files. Most importantly, agent helper's Python script.

Cloud Code updates the script continuously and it puts the commands to CDP, Chrome DevTools protocol. This way it controls the browser. If that script will run into an issue like layout change, it will heal itself, update the script and run it again.

And it's nicely done. Try browser harness. It's very fun.
