Create a file

Create a new file puppeteer_agent.py with the following code: 

from praisonaiagents import Agent, MCP

puppeteer_agent = Agent(
    instructions="""You are a helpful assistant that can automate web browser interactions.
    Use the available tools when relevant to perform web automation tasks.""",
    llm="gpt-4o-mini",
    tools=MCP("npx -y @modelcontextprotocol/server-puppeteer")
)

puppeteer_agent.start("Navigate to example.com and take a screenshot")
