Actionbook Agent Skill

<div align="center">

Actionbook is an AI agent in your browser. It reads data behind your logins,<br>operates websites you already use, and delivers finished work, not answers.

Meet the New Actionbook

Actionbook now ships as an AI agent in your Chrome side panel. It works beside you on the page you are on, reads data behind your logins, and delivers finished work, not answers: a sourced report, a clean CSV, or ready-to-send drafts. When a task works the way you want, save it as a Recipe and run it again with new inputs.

Actionbook (Legacy)

Actionbook turns the websites you work in every day into something your AI agent can actually operate. Direct API requests when possible, UI automation when not, with login handled. Fast and resilient.

Why Actionbook?

❌ Without Actionbook

• Slow. Agents take a snapshot after every single step, parse the page, then decide what to do next. Searching one room on Airbnb takes 5 minutes.
• Brittle. Modern websites use virtual DOMs, streaming components, and SPAs. Agents don't understand these rendering mechanisms, so they fail on dropdowns, date pickers, and login walls.
• One at a time. Your agent finishes one page before it can start the next. Need to check 30 company websites? That's 30 rounds, one after another.

✅ With Actionbook

• 10x faster. Action manuals tell agents exactly what to do. No parsing, no guessing.
• Accurate. Direct API calls when possible, UI fallback when not. Login handled either way.
• Concurrent. Stateless architecture. Operate dozens of tabs in parallel.

Installation

Actionbook runs as a remote MCP connector paired with the Actionbook Chrome extension — no CLI install required. Your AI agent connects to the hosted MCP endpoint, and the extension drives your real Chrome so agents reuse your logged-in sessions.

👉 For the full step-by-step setup — with per-client instructions and screenshots — visit the dashboard. The three steps below are the quick overview.

1. Install the Chrome extension from the Chrome Web Store.

2. Add Actionbook as a connector in your AI app. Open your app's connector settings — Claude (Settings → Connectors → Add custom connector), ChatGPT (Settings → Connectors), Perplexity, Hermes, OpenClaw, or any other MCP-compatible app — and paste the Actionbook endpoint:

https://edge.actionbook.app/mcp

3. Finish setup from the dashboard — it walks you through connecting your client and confirms the extension is linked.

Note: The standalone @actionbookdev/cli package is deprecated. Use the remote connector + Chrome extension above.

Quick Start

Once the extension is installed and your client is connected (see Installation), just talk to your agent — Actionbook handles the rest:

Open stripe.com, linear.app, and vercel.com, then grab the pricing from each.

Behind the scenes the agent uses Actionbook to fetch action manuals and operate your real Chrome — opening tabs, reading snapshots, clicking, and filling forms across pages concurrently. To nudge it explicitly, add this to your prompt:

Use Actionbook to understand and operate the web page.

Examples

Explore real-world examples in the Examples Documentation.

Available Tools

Actionbook exposes a single actionbook MCP tool whose subcommands cover action lookup (search, manual) and browser control (goto, snapshot, click, type, …). Your agent discovers the full command set from the tool description once connected.

Chrome Extension

Install the extension from the Chrome Web Store. Once you sign in from the dashboard, it connects to the hosted MCP endpoint automatically.
