Pomerado is 12 days old, with no status page or security.txt, and its homepage lists bank and government portals that its builds refuse.\n\n**Puppeteer.** Puppeteer is a stable, Apache-2.0 library on 25.13.0, with ten releases since 27 July 2026, typed APIs, locators that wait and retry, and accessibility snapshots an agent can read. It has no MCP server or llms.txt of its own, and 10 of the 20 most recent CI runs on main failed between 7 and 13 October 2026.\n\n## Before you call either\n\n### Pomerado\n\n1. Try public read-only tools at https://mcp.pomerado.ai/mcp/keyless, then use `sign_in` and reconnect at /mcp with the key for writes, logins and builds\n2. Call `find_website_tool` with a query and `site_url`, and check `possible_matches` before starting a build\n3. Send an `idempotency_key` with every run that writes, and on `outcome_unknown` read the website back before calling again\n4. Give the person the job's `answer_url` for website logins and codes. Don't take passwords in chat\n5. Save a run's result when it arrives. It is returned once and erased after 60 minutes if unread\n\n### Puppeteer\n\n1. Install with `npm i puppeteer`, which downloads a matching Chrome for Testing. Use `puppeteer-core` to bring your own browser\n2. Prefer `page.locator()` over `page.$()`. Locators wait for the element to be visible and stable before acting\n3. Read pages with `page.accessibility.snapshot({interestingOnly: true})` rather than full HTML to keep output short\n4. Catch `TimeoutError` separately from `TargetCloseError`. The first can be retried, the second needs a new page or browser\n5. Packages are ESM only since 25.0.0. Use `import puppeteer from 'puppeteer'` rather than `require`\n\n## Questions\n\n### Which is better for AI agents, Pomerado or Puppeteer?\n\nPuppeteer scores 70.6 (BB) on agent readiness against Pomerado's 62.6 (B), and leads in 4 of 7 scored categories. Pomerado leads on schema \u0026 documentation, agent ergonomics and security \u0026 auth.\n\n### Can an agent call Pomerado and Puppeteer without installing anything?\n\nPomerado has a hosted endpoint at https://mcp.pomerado.ai/mcp. No hosted endpoint is listed for Puppeteer.\n\n### Are Pomerado and Puppeteer open source?\n\nYes. Pomerado is open source (Pomerado Cloud is a proprietary service under Pomerado's terms of service. The minting core in Pomerado/pomerado and the `pomerado` npm package are MIT from version 0.2.0, and versions 0.1.2 and earlier were AGPL-3.0-only). Puppeteer is open source (Apache-2.0).\n\n\n## For agents\n\n- This comparison as JSON: https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/pomerado-vs-puppeteer.json, and with the fewest tokens: https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/pomerado-vs-puppeteer.min.md\n- Over MCP at https://www.anchorterminal.com/mcp (no key): `compare_tools {\"a\": \"pomerado\", \"b\": \"puppeteer\"}`.
