Moli: a headless browser built for agents

Moli: a headless browser built for agents Most agents do not need a full browser. They need the page structure and the result of a script. Moli is a headless browser built from scratch in Rust for that job. It keeps the DOM and computed CSS as the source of truth, and runs layout or paint only when a task genuinely needs it, so extracting HTML or Markdown never triggers a render. What you get V8 JavaScript, Fetch, WebCrypto, and storage CLI, CDP, WebDriver, and MCP access 34 releases and 22,888 stars on GitHub as of 7 November 2026 Try it first for reading, and test it on your own pages before trusting it with clicking.

Reading and extracting pages Running scripts headlessly Driving it through MCP or CDP I would not trust it with clicking yet Vote in the comments. If you found Moli interesting, I write about tools like this every week in The AI-Native Engineering Leader, what actually works for engineering leaders building with AI agents, and what to skip.
