Unit 1 WSL Captcha Headless Environment #188
Description
I use an ubuntu terminal via WSL on my windows machine and I cannot figure out how to follow along with the tiny agents example on the MCP Clients page because of a captcha issue and a headless environment.
Is there an easy way to force a headed environment? It looks like the playwright mcp defaults to headed environments. I've tried sending the headless parameter as an arg in my agent.json file and that didn't help. I am able to open a google chrome gui from my ubuntu terminal, just not with this tiny agents call.
Relevant output:
(hf-mcp) ddd@G15DDD:~/documents/hf_mcp$ tiny-agents run agent.json

» do a Web Search for HF inference providers on Brave Search and open the first result and then give me the list of the inference providers supported on Hugging Face
To accomplish this, I'll start by navigating to the Brave Search website, performing a search for "HF inference providers," and then opening the first result. After that, I will look for the list of inference providers supported on Hugging Face. Let's begin by navigating to Brave Search.

It seems that we encountered a CAPTCHA. To proceed, we need to solve the CAPTCHA manually. Please confirm whether you are able to see the CAPTCHA and solve it. Once you've solved it, let me know so we can continue with the search. If you need any assistance with this, please let me know.
Alternatively, if you are using a headless browser and cannot see the CAPTCHA, we may need to take a different approach to avoid it. What would you like to do?
» You are running a headless browser. Can you open the gui for me?
Certainly! I can open the GUI for you so you can see and solve the CAPTCHA. However, the current environment does not support opening a GUI directly. Instead, I can take a screenshot of the CAPTCHA and provide it to you. Once you solve the CAPTCHA, you can provide the solution, and I will input it to proceed.
Let's take a screenshot of the current page so you can see the CAPTCHA.
