camoufox-cli

Anti-detect browser CLI for AI agents, powered by Camoufox.

Camoufox has C++-level fingerprint spoofing (navigator.webdriver=false, randomized canvas/WebGL/audio, real plugins) but only exposes a Python API. This CLI wraps it into a simple command interface optimized for AI agent tool calls — snapshot the accessibility tree, interact by ref, repeat.

Install

pipx install camoufox-cli

Or with pip:

pip install camoufox-cli

Quick Start

camoufox-cli open https://example.com    # Launch browser & navigate
camoufox-cli snapshot -i                  # Interactive elements only
# - link "More information..." [ref=e1]
camoufox-cli click @e1                    # Click by ref
camoufox-cli close                        # Done

Architecture

CLI (camoufox-cli)  ──Unix socket──▶  Daemon (Python)  ──Playwright──▶  Camoufox (Firefox)

The CLI sends JSON commands to a long-running daemon process via Unix socket. The daemon manages the Camoufox browser instance and maintains the ref registry between commands. The daemon auto-starts on the first command and auto-stops after 30 minutes of inactivity.
