> *Let the coding agent debug itself, you've got better things to do.*

π₯ Supercharge Your Debugging
operative.sh's MCP Server launches a browser-use powered agent to autonomously execute and debug web apps directly in your code editor.
β‘ Features
- π Navigate your webapp using BrowserUse (2x faster with operative backend)
- π Capture network traffic - requests are intelligently filtered and returned into the context window
- π¨ Collect console errors - captures logs & errors
- π€ Autonomous debugging - the Cursor agent calls the web QA agent mcp server to test if the code it wrote works as epected end-to-end.
π§° MCP Tool Reference
| Tool | Purpose |
|---|---|
| `web_eval_agent` | π€ Automated UX evaluator that drives the browser, captures screenshots, console & network logs, and returns a rich UX report. |
| `setup_browser_state` | π Opens an interactive (non-headless) browser so you can sign in once; the saved cookies/local-storage are reused by subsequent `web_eval_agent` runs. |
Key arguments
- `web_eval_agent`
- `url` (required) β address of the running app (e.g. `http://localhost:3000`)
- `task` (required) β natural-language description of what to test ("run through the signup flow and note any UX issues")
- `headless_browser` *(optional, default `false`)* β set to `true` to hide the browser window
- `setup_browser_state`
- `url` *(optional)* β page to open first (handy to land directly on a login screen)
You can trigger these tools straight from your IDE chat, for example:
Evaluate my app at http://localhost:3000 β run web_eval_agent with the task "Try the full signup flow and report UX issues".π Quick Start
Easy Setup with One-Click Integration
1. Get your API key (free) - when you create your API key, you'll see:
Manual Setup (macOS/Linux)
1. Pre-requisites (typically not needed):
2. Run the installer after getting an api key (free)
curl -LSf https://operative.sh/install.sh -o install.sh && bash install.sh && rm install.sh3. Visit your favorite IDE and restart to apply the changes
4. Send a prompt in chat mode to call the web eval agent tool! e.g.
Test my app on http://localhost:3000. Use web-eval-agent.π οΈ Manual Installation

6. Restart code editor
π¨ Issues
- Updates aren't being received in code editors, update or reinstall for latest version: Run `uv cache clean` for latest
- Any issues feel free to open an Issue on this repo or in the discord!
- 5/5 - static apps without changes weren't screencasting, fixed! `uv clean` + restart to get fix
