What is aircodelabs grasp

!banner

Grasp is an open-source and self-hosted agentic browser. With built-in support for MCP and A2A support, it can seamlessly integrate with any other AI apps or agents.

Here’s a quick example of how Grasp works seamlessly with Claude Desktop to make planning your next Airbnb trip:

https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/b55b5f76-4faa-45b9-a5ab-4c4295dfdf19

Some of the key features include:

  • Isolated browser environment. Grasp is dockerized, ensuring it never interferes with your local workspace. It can be easily hosted on your machine or in the cloud.
  • Human-like automation. Grasp operates the browser just like a real human. You can even provide credentials for the agent to log in and retrieve personalized content.
  • Natural language control. No code needed — simply describe what you want in plain language, and the agent will handle the rest.

Quick Start

🐳 Before you start:
Make sure Docker is installed and running on your machine.

Run the following commands to pull and start Grasp:

  • Pull the image
docker pull getgrasp/grasp
  • Run the container
docker run -d \
  --name grasp-agent \
  -p 3000:3000 \
  -e ANTHROPIC_API_KEY=YOUR_ANTHROPIC_KEY \
  getgrasp/grasp

Replace YOUR_ANTHROPIC_KEY with your actual Anthropic API Key.

Once the container is running, open http://localhost:3000 in your browser to access the Grasp console.

Using other providers

You can use providers other than Anthropic.

To use a different provider, copy the .env.example file to .env and set the corresponding environment variables. Then run Grasp using .env file:

docker run -d \
  --name grasp-agent \
  --env-file .env \
  -p 3000:3000 \
  getgrasp/grasp

The supported providers are:

  • Anthropic
  • OpenAI
  • Amazon Bedrock
  • Azure OpenAI

Supporting more providers are working in progress. Free free to file an issue to request a new provider.

Enable secure auto-login

Grasp can automatically log in to websites for you. This makes it easier to retrieve personalized content or take actions on websites that require authentication. E.g. star a repo on GitHub, check in to a system, get your following list on X, etc.

The action to input your credentials is performed locally, and your password will NOT be sent to any LLM, so it's secure and safe.

To enable the auto-login:

  • Copy the .credentials.example.yml file to .credentials.yml and fill in your credentials for each website.
cp .credentials.example.yml .credentials.yml
  • Create a browser-user-data directory to store the browser's user data. This will enable the persistent mode so you don't need to login again.
mkdir -p browser-user-data
  • Run Grasp by mounting the .credentials.yml file and browser-user-data directory.
docker run -d \
  --name grasp-agent \
  --env-file .env \
  -p 3000:3000 \
  -v $(pwd)/.credentials.yml:/app/.credentials.yml \
  -v $(pwd)/browser-user-data:/app/browser-user-data \
  getgrasp/grasp

Frequently Asked Questions

What is MCP?

MCP (Model Context Protocol) is an open protocol that standardizes how applications provide context to LLMs. Think of MCP like a USB-C port for AI applications, providing a standardized way to connect AI models to different data sources and tools.

What are MCP Servers?

MCP Servers are lightweight programs that expose specific capabilities through the standardized Model Context Protocol. They act as bridges between LLMs like Claude and various data sources or services, allowing secure access to files, databases, APIs, and other resources.

How do MCP Servers work?

MCP Servers follow a client-server architecture where a host application (like Claude Desktop) connects to multiple servers. Each server provides specific functionality through standardized endpoints and protocols, enabling Claude to access data and perform actions through the standardized protocol.

Are MCP Servers secure?

Yes, MCP Servers are designed with security in mind. They run locally with explicit configuration and permissions, require user approval for actions, and include built-in security features to prevent unauthorized access and ensure data privacy.
