Koskamo

mantis-browser MCP

A lean browser interface for AI agents that converts web pages into short, numbered text instead of screenshots. It allows agents to browse the web, read content, and perform navigation tasks using Playwright, optimizing for reduced input tokens and tool calls compared to traditional accessibility trees or screenshots.
