| 18 | +[Stagehand](https://www.stagehand.dev/) is ___ |
| 19 | + |
| 20 | +You can use Stagehand to ___ |
| 21 | + |
| 22 | + |
| 23 | +## Use Stagehand in a Worker |
| 24 | + |
| 25 | +After you deploy, you can interact with the Worker using this URL pattern: |
| 26 | +``` |
| 27 | +https://<your-worker>.workers.dev |
| 28 | +``` |
| 29 | +In this example, you will search for a movie on https://www.themoviedb.org/ and return the movie's title, year, and director, as well as a screenshot of the webpage. |
| 30 | + |
| 31 | +If you want to skip the steps and get started quickly, select **Deploy to Cloudflare** below. |
| 32 | + |
| 33 | +[](https://deploy.workers.cloudflare.com/?url=https://github.com/cloudflare/playwright-mcp/tree/main/cloudflare/example) |
| 34 | + |
| 35 | +1. Install dependencies: |
| 36 | + ```bash |
| 37 | + npm ci |
| 38 | + ``` |
| 39 | +2. Make sure you have the [browser rendering](/browser-rendering/) in your wrangler configuration file: |
| 40 | + <WranglerConfig> |
| 41 | + ```jsonc |
| 42 | + { |
| 43 | + "name": "cloudflare-stagehand-example", |
| 44 | + "main": "src/index.ts", |
| 45 | + "compatibility_flags": ["nodejs_compat", "enable_nodejs_fs_module"], |
| 46 | + "compatibility_date": "2025-09-01", |
| 47 | + "workers_dev": true, |
| 48 | + "upload_source_maps": true, |
| 49 | + "alias": { |
| 50 | + "playwright": "@cloudflare/playwright" |
| 51 | + }, |
| 52 | + "observability": { |
| 53 | + "enabled": true |
| 54 | + }, |
| 55 | + "browser": { |
| 56 | + "binding": "BROWSER", |
| 57 | + "experimental_remote": true |
| 58 | + }, |
| 59 | + "ai": { |
| 60 | + "binding": "AI" |
| 61 | + } |
| 62 | + } |
| 63 | + ``` |
| 64 | + </WranglerConfig> |
| 65 | + |
| 66 | +3. Edit the code: |
| 67 | + |
| 68 | + ```ts title="src/index.ts" |
| 69 | + |
| 70 | + import { Stagehand } from "@browserbasehq/stagehand"; |
| 71 | + import { z } from "zod"; |
| 72 | + import { endpointURLString } from "@cloudflare/playwright"; |
| 73 | + import { createWorkersAI } from "workers-ai-provider"; |
| 74 | + import { AISdkClient } from "./aidsk"; |

| 78 | + const url = new URL(request.url); |
| 79 | + if (url.pathname !== "/") |
| 80 | + return new Response("Not found", { status: 404 }); |
| 81 | + |
| 82 | + const workersai = createWorkersAI({ binding: env.AI }); |
| 83 | + // @ts-ignore |
| 84 | + const model = workersai("@cf/meta/llama-3.3-70b-instruct-fp8-fast"); |
| 85 | + |
| 86 | + const stagehand = new Stagehand({ |
| 87 | + env: "LOCAL", |
| 88 | + localBrowserLaunchOptions: { cdpUrl: endpointURLString("BROWSER") }, |
| 89 | + llmClient: new AISdkClient({ model }), |
| 90 | + verbose: 1, |
| 91 | + }); |
| 92 | + |
| 93 | + await stagehand.init(); |
| 94 | + const page = stagehand.page; |
| 95 | + |
| 96 | + await page.goto('https://www.themoviedb.org/'); |
| 97 | + // for multi-step actions, use observe |
| 98 | + const actions = await page.observe('Search for "The Iron Giant" and click the Search button'); |
| 99 | + for (const action of actions) |
| 100 | + await page.act(action); |
| 101 | + await page.act('Click the first search result'); |
| 102 | + let movieInfo = await page.extract({ |
| 103 | + instruction: 'Extract movie information', |
| 104 | + schema: z.object({ |
| 105 | + title: z.string(), |
| 106 | + year: z.number(), |
| 107 | + director: z.string(), |
| 108 | + }), |
| 109 | + }); |
| 110 | + |
| 111 | + const screenshot = await page.screenshot(); |
| 112 | + await stagehand.close(); |
| 113 | + |
| 114 | + return new Response(` |

| 141 | + }, |

| 143 | + ``` |
| 144 | +4. Build the project: |
| 145 | + ```bash |
| 146 | + npm run build |
| 147 | + ``` |
| 148 | +5. Deploy to Cloudflare Workers: |
| 149 | + ```bash |
| 150 | + npm run deploy |
| 151 | + ``` |
| 152 | + |
| 153 | +## Use a custom model |
| 154 | + |
| 155 | +Instead of using a model from [Workers AI](/workers-ai/), you can use a custom model for which you supply your own credentials. |
| 156 | + |
| 157 | +In this example, you will configure Stagehand to use [OpenAI](https://openai.com/). You will need an OpenAI API key. Cloudflare recommends storing your API key with [secrets](/workers/configuration/secrets/). |
| 158 | + |
| 159 | +```typescript |
| 160 | +const stagehand = new Stagehand({ |
| 161 | + env: "LOCAL", |
| 162 | + localBrowserLaunchOptions: { cdpUrl: endpointURLString("BROWSER") }, |
| 163 | + modelName: "openai/gpt-4.1", |
| 164 | + modelClientOptions: { |
| 165 | + apiKey: env.OPENAI_API_KEY, |
| 166 | + }, |
| 167 | +}); |
| 168 | +``` |
| 169 | + |
| 170 | +## Use Cloudflare AI Gateway |
| 171 | + |
| 172 | + |
| 173 | +```typescript |
| 174 | +const stagehand = new Stagehand({ |
| 175 | + env: "LOCAL", |
| 176 | + localBrowserLaunchOptions: { cdpUrl: endpointURLString("BROWSER") }, |
| 177 | + modelName: "openai/gpt-4.1", |
| 178 | + modelClientOptions: { |
| 179 | + apiKey: env.OPENAI_API_KEY, |
| 180 | + baseURL: `https://gateway.ai.cloudflare.com/v1/${env.CLOUDFLARE_ACCOUNT_ID}/${env.AI_GATEWAY_ID}/openai`, |
| 181 | + }, |
| 182 | +}); |
| 183 | +``` |
