Read the full description

rea-captcha keeps Browser Use and Playwright jobs in the same browser session when a verification page interrupts the run. It detects the gate, pauses for an authorized test action or bounded human handoff, and resumes only after fresh evidence shows the current challenge cleared. It ships as a local MCP server and TypeScript SDK, with recorded reCAPTCHA, Turnstile, hCaptcha test-key demos plus an owned image/text case. It is not a production CAPTCHA bypass.

Could you build this?

Partial The Playwright/Browser Use session-handoff wrapper is codeable, but reliably detecting varied verification gates and verifying that a challenge has actually cleared is fiddly and depends on ongoing maintenance against changing anti-bot systems.

What it would actually take: Build a Python/Node library that wraps Playwright or Browser Use, persists browser state across pauses, and exposes a pause/resume API. The hard parts are robust challenge detection, evidence-based resume logic, and keeping pace with changing verification providers, which needs browser-automation experience and careful attention to authorization and abuse boundaries.
