​
Common flags

  • --url <controlUrl>: override browser.controlUrl for this command invocation.
  • --browser-profile <name>: choose a browser profile (default comes from config).
  • --json: machine-readable output (where supported).

​
Quick start (local)

clawdia browser --browser-profile chrome tabs
clawdia browser --browser-profile clawd start
clawdia browser --browser-profile clawd open https://example.com

​
Profiles

Profiles are named browser routing configs. In practice:
  • clawd: launches/attaches to a dedicated Clawdia-managed Chrome instance (isolated user data dir).
  • chrome: controls your existing Chrome tab(s) via the Chrome extension relay.

​
Chrome extension relay (attach via toolbar button)

This mode lets the agent control an existing Chrome tab that you attach manually (it does not auto-attach). Install the unpacked extension to a stable path: 
clawdia browser extension install
clawdia browser extension path
Then Chrome → chrome://extensions → enable “Developer mode” → “Load unpacked” → select the printed folder. Full guide: Chrome extension

Remote browser control (clawdia browser serve)

If the Gateway runs on a different machine than the browser, run a standalone browser control server on the machine that runs Chrome: 
clawdia browser serve --bind 127.0.0.1 --port 18791 --token <token>
Then point the Gateway at it using browser.controlUrl + browser.controlToken (or CLAWDIA_BROWSER_CONTROL_TOKEN). Security + TLS best-practices: Browser tool, Tailscale, Security
