Can I trigger a browser task with a different starting URL?

Yes! Use the `run_task` tool and provide the Task ID. In the `overrides` field, you can pass a JSON object like `{"url": "https://newsite.com"}` to change the starting point dynamically.

How do I see the screenshot captured by a task?

Simply ask the agent to `get_run` and provide the Run ID. Once the status is 'finished', the response will include a `screenshot_url` that you can click to view the image.

Does the integration allow taking a quick screenshot without a saved task?

Yes. Use the `take_screenshot` action and provide the URL. It will create a simplified run that captures the page and returns the result URL once processed.

Common questions about integrating Browserbear MCP Server with AutoGen.

How does AutoGen connect to MCP servers?

Create an MCP tool adapter and assign it to one or more agents in the group chat. AutoGen agents can then call Browserbear tools during their conversation turns.

Can different agents have different MCP tool access?
