Set up Clawbrowser on macOS with Codex

Watch the macOS with Codex setup demo, prepare the browser runtime, connect Codex, and verify your first Clawbrowser session.

Overview

Before Codex can complete browser tasks, it needs a working connection to a browser runtime. This guide accompanies the macOS with Codex installation video and separates preparation, integration, and a first-session check. Use it to understand what to verify before starting research or automation.

What happens in the video

The operator copies the installation prompt into Codex on macOS. Codex checks the Apple Silicon host, installs the standalone tooling, and asks for an API key. The browser then opens its verification page, and the final frames show passing fingerprint and proxy checks.

Before you start

  • A Mac with Codex available.
  • A Clawbrowser account and API key available through your normal credential setup.
  • The current installation guide linked below.

Step-by-step guide

Practical steps for adapting the recorded task. The video summary above describes the demonstrated result; these checks guide your own run.

  1. Prepare the environment

    Start with a Mac with Codex available. Read the current installation guide and choose this environment. Choose the macOS runtime for your machine and connect it to the Codex environment in which you intend to work. Check browser access from the actual project where the workflow will run.

  2. Install the runtime

    Follow the official workflow to install Clawbrowser and its control tooling. The video gives a visual reference for macOS with Codex; the installation guide is the source for current commands and packages.

  3. Connect the agent

    Complete the integration for Codex and provide the account configuration requested by setup. Confirm that the agent can discover its browser tools before asking it to perform a website task.

  4. Verify a first session

    Ask Codex to open a public page and return its title and URL. Check that a browser session starts and the agent reports content from that page. Resolve runtime or connection errors before adding logins or multiple tabs.

Try this prompt

Suggested prompt

Follow https://clawbrowser.ai/docs/install/ to set up Clawbrowser for Codex in my macOS with Codex environment. Use the current instructions, connect the browser tools, then open https://example.com and report the page title and URL. Explain any setup step that fails.

Adapt the placeholders to your task. This is an example prompt, not a transcript of the recording.

Results

  • A Clawbrowser runtime prepared for Codex.
  • After setup, check the verification result and confirm that your agent can inspect a public page.

Questions about this workflow

Does installing the browser automatically connect Codex?

Treat these as separate checks. Verify that Codex can discover the browser tools and successfully inspect a page.

Should I copy commands from the recording?

Use the current installation guide for commands and downloads. The video is a visual walkthrough and may show an earlier interface.

Put the workflow to work

Prepare the browser connection, then adapt the guide to your task and check its output.
