A person creates the key in the console at console.notte.cc first\n2. Stop every session when the task ends. Sessions close after 3 idle minutes or 15 minutes in total by default, and the Free plan caps a session at 15 minutes\n3. Use https://api.notte.cc/mcp for browser work. Function and agent administration tools are only on https://api.notte.cc/mcp/full\n4. Back off on 429 and on 529, which means the cluster has too many sessions. The SDKs do not retry rate limits for you\n5. Download session replays within 24 hours. The recordings page says they are deleted after that\n\n### Puppeteer (archived MCP reference server)\n\n1. Don't install it for new work. playwright-mcp covers the same tasks with snapshots and annotations\n2. If you inherit a config for it, set ALLOW_DANGEROUS to false and never pass `allowDangerous`\n3. Never run it with a logged-in profile or on a host with internal services the browser can reach\n\n## Questions\n\n### Which is better for AI agents, Notte or Puppeteer (archived MCP reference server)?\n\nNotte scores 63.2 (B) on agent readiness against Puppeteer (archived MCP reference server)'s 30.6 (F), and leads in 5 of 7 scored categories. Puppeteer (archived MCP reference server) leads on payments \u0026 pricing and transparency \u0026 trust.\n\n### Do Notte and Puppeteer (archived MCP reference server) need an API key?\n\nNotte takes an API key or an OAuth sign-in. Puppeteer (archived MCP reference server) needs no key.\n\n### Can an agent call Notte and Puppeteer (archived MCP reference server) without installing anything?\n\nNotte has a hosted endpoint at https://api.notte.cc. Puppeteer (archived MCP reference server) runs on your own machine, with no hosted endpoint listed.\n\n### Are Notte and Puppeteer (archived MCP reference server) open source?\n\nNo open-source release is listed for Notte. Puppeteer (archived MCP reference server) is open source (MIT).\n\n\n## For agents\n\n- This comparison as JSON: https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/notte-vs-puppeteer-reference-server-archived.json, and with the fewest tokens: https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/notte-vs-puppeteer-reference-server-archived.min.md\n- Over MCP at https://www.anchorterminal.com/mcp (no key): `compare_tools {\"a\": \"notte\", \"b\": \"puppeteer-reference-server-archived\"}`.
