Anyway to pass cookies for the web tool?

[junaid33]

First off, thank you for this amazing tool and it's a game changer. I'm trying to use the new chrome debug using stagehand but our dashboard pages are protected so when we try to access like localhost:3000/dashboard/products, we are redirected to localhost:3000/dashboard/signin.

Using playwright directly, I can set the cookie we need and see the page perfectly:

npx node -e 'const { chromium } = require("playwright"); (async () => { 
  const browser = await chromium.launch({ headless: false }); 
  const context = await browser.newContext(); 
  await context.addCookies([{ 
    name: "session", 
    value: "Fe26.2**", 
    domain: "localhost", 
    path: "/" 
  }]); 
  const page = await context.newPage(); 
  await page.goto("http://localhost:3000/dashboard", { waitUntil: "networkidle" }); 
  console.log(await context.cookies()); 
  await page.waitForTimeout(60000); 
  await browser.close(); 
})();'

Can we pass a cookie to cursor tools and have it pass that to stagehand? Is there a better way to handle it? I've also looked into tweaking my cursorrules file to use playwright directly if cookies are passed and cursor-tools web if not.

Great issue!

For now if you do it in connected mode you can set the cookie through regular dev tools - DM me on Twitter if you want a demonstration.

Wow got it! Here are instructions for others to follow:

1. open -a "Google Chrome" --args --remote-debugging-port=9222 --no-first-run --no-default-browser-check --user-data-dir="/tmp/chrome-remote-debugging"

This cli command opens the Chrome browser. Go into inspect element > application and set the cookies manually.

2. npx cursor-tools browser open "http://localhost:3000/dashboard" --connect-to=9222

This command lets cursor tools know to connect to the already open browser which has the cookie now and should render

3. Be sure to tell Composer agent to use this port for connect to arg

@junaid33 lets go! Nice work.
