You choose how data is processed. Local models run on your device. Cloud models send data to that provider's API.

How much does Vibe Co-Pilot cost?

Vibe is free to install. If you run cloud models, usage is billed by that provider, and paid Vibe plans are optional.

How does Vibe compare to OpenClaw?

OpenClaw is a self-hosted agent stack. Vibe is a browser co-pilot focused on completing overcomplicated web tasks in your existing browser sessions.

How does Vibe compare to Claude Cowork?

Claude browser workflows are Claude-first. Vibe is browser-first and model-flexible, so teams can choose how they run automations.

How does Vibe compare to Chrome DevTools MCP?

DevTools MCP is a browser debugging/control interface. Vibe packages browser task execution into a co-pilot experience for end-to-end workflows.

OpenClaw Browser Access Quick Start: VibeBrowser CLI and Chrome DevTools MCP

If you run OpenClaw in cloud environments, browser access breaks fast:

cloud agents cannot reach your local signed-in Chrome by default
single CDP attach flows are fragile when several agents work in parallel
teams need a quick path with concrete commands

This guide gives you two working options.

Solution 1: VibeBrowser CLI (best for local signed-in workflows)

Use vibebrowser-cli when you want OpenClaw tasks to operate your real browser session with compact, action-first commands.

Quick install and check

npx -y --package @vibebrowser/mcp@latest vibebrowser-cli --json status

npx -y --package @vibebrowser/mcp@latest vibebrowser-mcp browser --json status

Quick usage loop

npx -y --package @vibebrowser/mcp@latest vibebrowser-cli open https://example.com
npx -y --package @vibebrowser/mcp@latest vibebrowser-cli --json snapshot
npx -y --package @vibebrowser/mcp@latest vibebrowser-cli click A12

Solution 2: Chrome DevTools MCP fork (best for cloud agent access)

Use @vibebrowser/chrome-devtools-mcp when you need StreamableHTTP multi-session access, per-session isolation, and optional Tailscale exposure for remote agents.

Quick install (local)

npx @vibebrowser/chrome-devtools-mcp install --port 9333

Quick install (remote/cloud with Tailscale)

npx @vibebrowser/chrome-devtools-mcp install --port 9333 --tailscale

After install, agents connect over HTTP instead of fighting over one local CDP socket.

Fast comparison

Option	Best when	Command
VibeBrowser CLI	You need your real logged-in browser and compact commands	`npx -y --package @vibebrowser/mcp@latest vibebrowser-cli --json status`
Chrome DevTools MCP fork	You need cloud or multi-agent HTTP sessions (optional Tailscale)	`npx @vibebrowser/chrome-devtools-mcp install --port 9333`
Chrome DevTools MCP fork + Tailscale	You need secure remote access from cloud agents	`npx @vibebrowser/chrome-devtools-mcp install --port 9333 --tailscale`

Brief note on CDP

Raw CDP is excellent for DevTools debugging, but it is not a complete multi-agent coordination layer by itself. The fork adds HTTP session isolation so parallel agents can operate more reliably.

Done

Pick one path, run the command, and wire it into your OpenClaw agent config.

Need local signed-in browser control: use vibebrowser-cli.
Need cloud multi-agent browser access: use @vibebrowser/chrome-devtools-mcp.
