What is it?

AIPex is a browser automation agent that runs as an extension inside Chrome and Edge, so there is no separate browser or profile to set up. Users give instructions in natural language, and the agent works on the pages already open, including logged-in sessions, cookies, and tabs. Users bring their own API key, and the project states that data stays on the local machine.

For AI coding agents, AIPex provides an MCP bridge (aipex-mcp-bridge) that connects over stdio to a local WebSocket daemon, which the extension then drives. It exposes 30+ browser tools and works with clients such as Cursor, Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Windsurf, and VS Code Copilot. The same bridge ships a browser-cli command for tab, page, and interaction control from scripts or CI, plus an aipex-browser skill package with tool usage strategies and parameter schemas.

Page understanding relies on structured DOM and accessibility-tree snapshots that agents can search with glob or grep patterns and act on through stable element IDs. The project lists vision support as not yet completed.
