Moli is a headless browser written in Rust for AI agents, combining a full browser runtime with on-demand layout and rendering to keep resource use low. It fetches and extracts web pages, searches the web, and automates browser tasks via CLI, CDP, WebDriver Classic, or WebDriver BiDi.
Useful for
- Fetch a page as Markdown or a semantic tree for an LLM pipeline via the moli fetch CLI
- Connect Playwright over CDP to the moli serve endpoint to automate DOM-first tasks
- Capture a viewport or full-page screenshot or PDF only when layout is needed
