What is Shiplight AI?

View as Markdown

Fully automate product development with your AI coding agent — Shiplight gives your agent eyes and hands in a real browser, closing the loop between coding, verifying, and testing.

Shiplight AI enables coding agents (Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, etc.) to autonomously build features, verify they work in a real browser like a human would, and auto-generate regression tests — all in one flow. No manual testing, no context switching.

Shiplight offers tools for every role on your team:

Local Development

Your coding agent can autonomously verify UI changes and generate tests — no manual testing, no context switching, no account needed.

• Use the browser MCP server with Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, or any MCP-compatible coding agent to automate end-to-end UI development in a real browser
• Write and run tests as YAML files using natural language steps — no code required
• YAML tests live in your repo alongside your code — no new configuration system to learn, no platform lock-in, works with any CI
• Debug and author tests visually in the local debugger or with the VS Code extension
