# Configuration
Create an `agent-browser.json` file to set persistent defaults instead of repeating flags on every command.
## Config File Locations
agent-browser checks two locations, merged in priority order:
| Priority | Location | Scope |
|----------|----------|-------|
| 1 (lowest) | `~/.agent-browser/config.json` | User-level defaults |
| 2 | `./agent-browser.json` | Project-level overrides |
| 3 | `AGENT_BROWSER_*` env vars | Override config values |
| 4 (highest) | CLI flags | Override everything |
Project-level values override user-level values. Environment variables override both. CLI flags always win.
Use `--config <path>` or the `AGENT_BROWSER_CONFIG` environment variable to load a specific config file instead of the default locations:
```bash
agent-browser --config ./ci-config.json open example.com
AGENT_BROWSER_CONFIG=./ci-config.json agent-browser open example.com
```
## Example Config
```json
{
"headed": true,
"proxy": "http://localhost:8080",
"profile": "./browser-data",
"userAgent": "my-agent/1.0",
"ignoreHttpsErrors": true
}
```
## All Options
Every CLI flag can be set in the config file using its camelCase equivalent:
| Config Key | CLI Flag | Type |
|------------|----------|------|
| `headed` | `--headed` | boolean |
| `json` | `--json` | boolean |
| `full` | `--full, -f` | boolean |
| `debug` | `--debug` | boolean |
| `session` | `--session` | string |
| `sessionName` | `--session-name` | string |
| `executablePath` | `--executable-path` | string |
| `extensions` | `--extension` | string[] |
| `profile` | `--profile` | string |
| `state` | `--state` | string |
| `proxy` | `--proxy` | string |
| `proxyBypass` | `--proxy-bypass` | string |
| `args` | `--args` | string |
| `userAgent` | `--user-agent` | string |
| `provider` | `-p, --provider` | string |
| `device` | `--device` | string |
| `ignoreHttpsErrors` | `--ignore-https-errors` | boolean |
| `allowFileAccess` | `--allow-file-access` | boolean |
| `cdp` | `--cdp` | string |
| `autoConnect` | `--auto-connect` | boolean |
| `headers` | `--headers` | string (JSON) |
## Common Configurations
### Local Development
```json
{
"headed": true,
"profile": "./browser-data"
}
```
### Behind a Proxy
```json
{
"proxy": "http://proxy.corp.example.com:8080",
"proxyBypass": "localhost,*.internal.com",
"ignoreHttpsErrors": true
}
```
### CI / Devcontainer
```json
{
"args": "--no-sandbox,--disable-gpu",
"ignoreHttpsErrors": true
}
```
### iOS Testing
```json
{
"provider": "ios",
"device": "iPhone 16 Pro"
}
```
## Overriding Boolean Options
Boolean flags accept an optional `true`/`false` value to override config settings:
```bash
agent-browser --headed false open example.com
```
A bare flag is equivalent to passing `true`:
```bash
agent-browser --headed open example.com # same as --headed true
agent-browser --headed true open example.com # explicit
```
This applies to all boolean flags: `--headed`, `--debug`, `--json`, `--ignore-https-errors`, `--allow-file-access`, `--auto-connect`.
## Extensions Merging
Extensions from user-level and project-level configs are **concatenated**, not replaced. For example, if `~/.agent-browser/config.json` specifies `["/ext1"]` and `./agent-browser.json` specifies `["/ext2"]`, the result is `["/ext1", "/ext2"]`.
The `AGENT_BROWSER_EXTENSIONS` environment variable and CLI `--extension` flags follow the standard priority rules (env replaces config, CLI appends).
## Error Handling
- **Auto-discovered config files** (`~/.agent-browser/config.json`, `./agent-browser.json`) that are missing are silently ignored.
- **`--config <path>`** with a missing or malformed file exits with an error.
- **Malformed JSON** in auto-discovered files prints a warning to stderr and continues without that file.
- **Unknown keys** are silently ignored for forward compatibility.
> **Tip:** If your project-level `agent-browser.json` contains environment-specific values (paths, proxies), consider adding it to `.gitignore`.
