CLI operations - Webcompute

The CLI is the fastest way to run a browser agent and the operator tool for local setup.

Common commands

web status
web doctor
web model setup
web mcp setup
web plugins install codex
web update

Plugin install targets are codex, claude, and opencode.

Browser operations

Use browser commands when you need manual lifecycle control:

BROWSER_ID=$(web browser create --recording --json | jq -r '.id')
web browser status "$BROWSER_ID" --json
web browser debug "$BROWSER_ID"
web browser close "$BROWSER_ID"

One-off utilities

web scrape https://example.com
web screenshot https://example.com
web pdf https://example.com

Use --proxy on web browser create, web scrape, web screenshot, and web pdf when those surfaces need custom egress. web agent does not expose --proxy; use the SDK agent browser-create path for proxied agent runs. Reference: CLI command reference and proxy reference.
