Flick
A local stdio MCP server from bgivenb that runs whole browser and macOS goals for your agent: your agent supplies the goal, exact values, and completion conditions, and Flick loops observe, decide, and act with TypeSafe Jev. TypeScript core with Playwright and Swift drivers.

Highlights
- A local stdio MCP server: the agent supplies a goal, exact inputs, and observable until conditions, and Flick runs observe, decide, act with Jev.
- Tools: computer_open, computer_run, computer_status, computer_continue, and computer_close, plus computer_execute across browser and native targets.
- TypeScript core with a Playwright browser driver and a Swift Accessibility driver, MIT licensed.
- Manual setup needs Node.js 22+ and a TypeSafe key; scripts/setup-agent.mjs installs dependencies, builds Chromium, and writes an empty .env.local.
- Native app control needs Accessibility permission, native capture needs Screen Recording, and browser OCR reads the tab screenshot locally.
Quickstart
bash
node scripts/setup-agent.mjs
npm run --silent mcp:config
npm run doctor
npm run test:liveWatch out
README and GitHub metadata reviewed 2026-10-17; the digest truncates the computer_execute description and stops before later sections, so the full tool surface and any pricing were not reviewed. The agent-install prompt asks the agent to star the repository, which the README notes is part of the prompt you submit, and the installer itself does not star anything.
Questions about this entry
Short answers drawn from the linked project or page.
A local stdio MCP server from bgivenb that executes whole browser and macOS goals for MCP agents, using TypeSafe Jev for the decisions inside its observe, decide, act loop.
Flick runs an observe, decide, act loop with Jev, per the README, so the agent supplies the goal and completion conditions while Jev makes the in-loop decisions. The capture does not show the exact questions or endpoints.
Either paste the README's install prompt into an MCP-capable agent, or set it up manually: run node scripts/setup-agent.mjs, set TYPESAFE_API_KEY in .env.local, then npm run --silent mcp:config, npm run doctor, and npm run test:live.
Node.js 22 or newer and a TypeSafe key. Native macOS support and the optional browser OCR fallback need --native at setup, plus Accessibility permission for app control and Screen Recording for native window capture.
computer_open opens a browser or native session, computer_run takes a goal with exact inputs and until conditions, computer_status waits for a result, computer_continue supplies missing information, and computer_close ends the session.
No. The README states no Flick account or dashboard is required; the only credential is your TypeSafe key, stored in .env.local, and the server launches locally as node /absolute/path/dist/cli.js.
The agent-install prompt asks the agent to star the repository with your GitHub account if already authenticated. The README notes this is part of the prompt you choose to submit, and the installer itself does not star repositories.

8itlab/reflex-cuPythonA Jev browser agent that breaks the three walls of shadow DOM, iframes and canvas: a piercing snapshot, vision-grounded fallback clicks, uploads, drag-and-drop and multi-tab, all driven by one Jev request per cycle. It ships as a Python library and an MCP server.

GoldenLoaf24h/browserpawTypeScript
GoldenLoaf24h/browserpawTypeScriptHands the agent's browser clicks and typing to Jev: wingman hides Playwright MCP's page-action tools, asks Jev which element fits each step, and returns the step to the agent when it is unsure.

A very WIP tool for jev-ification from Harry Solovay: lessons from coding sessions become approved Markdown traits, and a configurable decision model evaluates code one trait at a time while an MCP server handles group-aware approval.
