browser-search — three tools, zero cost, and your AI agent learns to search and browse the web

Reddit r/artificial Tools

Summary

browser-search is an open-source, self-hosted suite of three tools (SearXNG, Camofox, CloakBrowser) that enables AI agents to search and browse the web without API keys or subscriptions, with automatic navigation escalation and deep research capabilities.

I've been using AI agents like OpenCode, Claude Code, and Cursor for months. They're great with code, but when they need to search or browse the web, things get complicated: Cloudflare blocks them, JavaScript-heavy sites don't load, APIs cost money. So I built browser-search. It's three open source tools orchestrated by a skill, fully self-hosted: SearXNG — metasearch engine that queries dozens of search engines at once Camofox — full browser via REST API, always warm, for browsing and interacting CloakBrowser — stealth browser for when the site has Cloudflare, Akamai, or DataDome The agent decides which tool to use. Zero human intervention. Zero API keys. Zero subscriptions. What makes it different: It's a skill, not a plugin — works with any agent that can read instructions Automatic navigation escalation: if Camofox gets blocked, it switches to CloakBrowser Deep Research mode: the agent is instructed to go beyond surface-level answers, cross-verify sources, cover every aspect Integrated Readability.js for clean article extraction (~70% token savings) The SKILL.md is plain text — fork it, tweak it, make it yours MIT licensed on GitHub: https://github.com/Johell1NS/browser-search If you try it, let me know. If you make it better, even more so. If you don't need it, share it with someone who might. Every star, comment, or pull request is welcome — that's what makes open source great.
