## About backlinks

Backlinks (inbound links from other sites) improve SEO authority for the target keyword. For `MCP browser automation` and `browser automation AI agents`, the goal is placements in communities where AI agent developers and browser automation practitioners congregate.

Outreach should focus on communities that:
- Discuss AI agent frameworks (LangChain, CrewAI, AutoGen, etc.)
- Work on browser automation (Puppeteer, Playwright)
- Build with the MCP protocol
- Write about AI agent governance and security

Do NOT cold spam. Only reach out to communities where there's a genuine topical overlap. Personalize the message to the specific thread or context.

## Community outreach templates

### Reddit — r/programming / r/MachineLearning / r/artificial

**When:** A thread asks "how do I add browser automation to my AI agent?" or similar
**Subject:** not applicable (Reddit DMs or comments)
**Template (comment, not DM):**

> This is a genuinely hard problem — most agent platforms give you the browser access but not the governance layer. We wrote up how Molecule AI handles it with Chrome DevTools MCP: https://docs.molecule.ai/blog/chrome-devtools-mcp
>
> The short version: every browser action is logged with org API key attribution, sessions are token-scoped per agent, and revocation is instant. Makes it auditable to a security team that wasn't in the room when you configured it.
>
> Not claiming it's the only way to do it — but the governance angle seems to be the gap most platforms skip.

---

### Reddit — r/webdev / r/webdesign

**When:** A thread about automated browser testing or Lighthouse audits in CI/CD
**Template (comment):**

> If you're running Lighthouse in a CI pipeline, worth looking at how agents can run it too — Molecule AI has an example of wiring Lighthouse into Chrome DevTools MCP so an agent can report scores automatically: https://docs.molecule.ai/blog/chrome-devtools-mcp
>
> The useful part for a team: the governance layer means your security team can see what the agent accessed, even in a CI context.

---

### LinkedIn — AI agent developers / platform engineers

**Template (connection note or comment on relevant post):**

> Saw your write-up on [specific post topic] — solid points on [specific detail].
>
> Molecule AI just shipped an MCP governance layer for Chrome DevTools that might be relevant to what you're working on: https://docs.molecule.ai/blog/chrome-devtools-mcp
>
> The angle we hear most often: browser automation for agents works fine until your security team asks "which agent accessed what, when, and can you prove it?" That's what the governance layer is for.
>
> Happy to chat through the approach if it's useful.

---

### MCP GitHub — modelcontextprotocol/servers

**When:** A discussion or PR about browser automation tools in MCP servers
**Template (comment):**

> Related to how this might fit into the broader MCP ecosystem — Molecule AI's implementation of Chrome DevTools MCP adds org API key attribution at the platform level, so every MCP tool call through a browser action carries audit attribution: https://docs.molecule.ai/blog/chrome-devtools-mcp
>
> Would be useful to understand if there's appetite for a standard attribution field in the MCP tool response schema — seems like a natural fit for governance-oriented platforms.

---

### Hacker News / Lobsters

**When:** A thread about AI agent security, browser isolation, or agent governance
**Template (top-level comment or reply):**

> This is the gap most "agent can use a browser" announcements skip.
>
> Molecule AI shipped a Chrome DevTools MCP integration that adds the governance layer underneath: https://docs.molecule.ai/blog/chrome-devtools-mcp
>
> The specific thing it adds: org API key attribution on every browser action, token-scoped sessions per agent (no cross-contamination between agents), and instant revocation. Makes browser automation in agents something you can show a security team, not just a developer.

## Priority targets (build this list before outreach)

These are real communities to monitor — not cold-email targets:

1. **r/programming** — browser automation + AI agents threads appear regularly
2. **r/MachineLearning** — agent architecture discussions
3. **LinkedIn AI agent practitioners** — follow posts by LangChain, CrewAI, AutoGen maintainers; engage substantively
4. **MCP Discord / GitHub** — modelcontextprotocol/servers discussions
5. **DEV.to** — AI + browser automation tags; search for "MCP" or "browser automation AI agent"

## Guidelines

- Only post where there's genuine topical relevance
- Add substantive context, not just a link
- Lead with the problem, not the product
- Do not post the same comment across multiple threads simultaneously
- If a thread already has a good answer, don't add a redundant link
- Marketing Lead reviews outreach messages before any are sent
