What This Skill Does
Bits is a cloud browser automation platform. The MCP server lets AI assistants control browsers to navigate pages, fill forms, handle OAuth flows, and extract structured data. Automation runs in a managed sandbox using TypeScript code executed against the Bits SDK.
Browser tasks run in a managed cloud sandbox, so there is no local browser setup required and it handles authentication flows like OAuth and 2FA that headless scrapers typically cannot.
When to use it
- Scraping top headlines or articles from news sites
- Filling and submitting web forms automatically
- Extracting product listings as structured JSON
- Logging into sites with OAuth or 2FA to access protected data
- Running repeatable data collection workflows via API
Example Workflow
Here's how your AI assistant might use this skill in practice.
User asks: Go to news.ycombinator.com and get the top 5 story titles
- 1Searches Bits SDK documentation for navigation and text extraction methods
- 2Writes TypeScript code to navigate to the target URL
- 3Executes the code in the Bits sandbox
- 4Extracts story title elements from the page
- 5Returns the titles as a structured list
