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

Project description

camoufox-cli

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

Highlights

  • C++-level fingerprint spoofing via Camoufox (canvas, WebGL, audio, screen metrics, fonts)
  • Accessibility-tree snapshots with @ref element targeting
  • Session isolation with cookie import/export
  • Shell commands, no code generation

Works with

OpenClaw, Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, and any agent that can run shell commands.

Snapshot

camoufox-cli snapshot                     # Full accessibility tree

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.
