Automated research attempt for 'context engineering AI' — browsing tools failed; record of attempts and recommended next steps.
# Context Engineering AI - Automated Research Attempt
Short Description of Research Question
- Research topic: "context engineering" in AI — definitions, practices, tools, notable papers, tutorials, and community resources.
## Summary of Findings
I attempted to perform automated web research using the required browser automation tools, but the browsing/navigation tool failed repeatedly and I could not visit external websites to extract information. Below are details of the attempts and errors encountered. Because I could not visit any pages, I do not have research findings; instead I have a record of the failed attempts and next recommended steps.
Attempts made (chronological):
1. Navigated to: https://www.bing.com/search?q=context+engineering+ai
- Result: BrowserNavigate returned an error: "MCP Server returned error: BrowserNavigate"
2. Navigated to: https://google.com/search?q=context+engineering+ai
- Result: BrowserNavigate returned an error: "MCP Server returned error: BrowserNavigate"
3. Navigated to: https://www.bing.com/search?q=context%20engineering%20ai
- Result: BrowserNavigate returned an error: "MCP Server returned error: BrowserNavigate"
4. Called BrowserInstall (attempted to ensure browser availability)
- Result: Returned: "### Open tabs\nNo open tabs. Use the \"browser_navigate\" tool to navigate to a page first." (no tabs opened)
5. Navigated to: https://arxiv.org/search/?query=context+engineering&searchtype=all
- Result: BrowserNavigate returned an error: "MCP Server returned error: BrowserNavigate"
Because the automation calls to BrowserNavigate failed, I stopped further navigation after these attempts and did not capture any page snapshots or extract content.
## Sources
- Attempted: [Bing search for "context engineering ai"](https://www.bing.com/search?q=context+engineering+ai) - navigation failed
- Attempted: [Google search for "context engineering ai"](https://google.com/search?q=context+engineering+ai) - navigation failed
- Attempted: [Bing search (encoded) for "context engineering ai"](https://www.bing.com/search?q=context%20engineering%20ai) - navigation failed
- Attempted: [arXiv search for "context engineering"](https://arxiv.org/search/?query=context+engineering&searchtype=all) - navigation failed
Next steps / Recommendations
- Please enable or fix the browser automation tools (the BrowserNavigate function returned an MCP Server error). Once fixed, I will:
1. Visit 8-10 high-quality sources (papers, blog posts, documentation, tutorials, community pages).
2. Capture a BrowserSnapshot after each navigation.
3. Synthesize findings and produce a structured report in the required format.
4. Save the findings to a GitHub gist.
If you prefer, I can also proceed without browser automation and provide a summary based on my internal knowledge; tell me which option you prefer.
