The Web Automation God Stack: n8n + Stagehand + MindsDB + Octobrowser + Captcha Solvers
One-Line Flow:
Turn your computer into a full-blown digital army β automate, scrape, post, and grow 24/7 without touching a damn thing.
What This Does
This stack combines five killer tools that talk to each other to do everything youβd normally waste time doing β automatically.
It can:
- Run 100+ social media accounts without bans
- Auto-register, auto-post, and auto-track affiliate links
- Scrape massive data safely
- Learn and improve results over time
Basically: you create one smart system that acts like 50 virtual employees β for the cost of a weekend pizza binge.
How It Works (In Plain English)
-
n8n β Your automation hub (connects all tools + runs workflows).
β n8n.io | GitHub -
Stagehand β The AI that controls the browser, clicks buttons, fills forms, and does tasks like a human.
β browserbase/stagehand -
MindsDB β The βmemoryβ and prediction engine. It learns from your data and improves automation logic.
β mindsdb.com | GitHub -
Octobrowser β Your disguise. Creates fake, unique browser profiles with different IPs so you donβt get flagged.
β octobrowser.com -
Captcha Solvers β The bodyguards that handle annoying βprove youβre humanβ popups.
β 2Captcha | CapSolver | Anti-Captcha
These tools chain together through simple APIs inside n8n β creating a self-running machine.
Step-by-Step Setup
1. Install n8n (The Core)
- Download Docker Desktop.
- Use this simple docker-compose:
version: "3.8"
services:
redis:
image: redis:6-alpine
restart: unless-stopped
volumes:
- redis-data:/data
n8n:
image: n8nio/n8n:latest
restart: unless-stopped
environment:
- DB_TYPE=sqlite
- N8N_BASIC_AUTH_ACTIVE=true
- N8N_BASIC_AUTH_USER=admin
- N8N_BASIC_AUTH_PASSWORD=changeme
- QUEUE_BULL_REDIS_HOST=redis
ports:
- "5678:5678"
depends_on:
- redis
volumes:
redis-data:
Run:
docker compose up -d
Then open http://localhost:5678.
2. Connect Octobrowser (Your Anti-Detect Weapon)
- Create an account β octobrowser.com
- Use their API to generate browser profiles.
- Each profile = unique fingerprint + IP.
- Passes major detection sites like BrowserLeaks & PixelScan.
Plans:
Base β $79/mo (100 profiles) | Team β $169/mo (350 profiles)
3. Add Stagehand (The Browser Robot)
- Clone repo:
git clone https://github.com/browserbase/stagehand
- Install deps, then link it with your Octobrowser APIβs CDP port.
- Stagehand executes tasks using AI + Playwright β from auto logins to scraping to posting.
Claude or Gemini can generate Stagehand scripts if youβre lazy.
4. Set Up Captcha Solving
When the internet throws βIβm not a robot,β these do the dirty work:
- 2Captcha: reliable
- CapSolver: fast + cheap
- Anti-Captcha: enterprise level
Use via API (Puppeteer/Stagehand) or Octobrowser Chrome extension.
5. MindsDB: Make It Learn
- Install or use managed MindsDB β mindsdb.com
- Feed it your data (scraped results, stats, conversions).
- It predicts whatβs best next time β e.g., when to post, what tags perform better.
- Optionally connect ClickHouse for visual dashboards.
6. Link It All Inside n8n
Example workflow:
- n8n trigger (schedule / webhook).
- Octobrowser API β create profile.
- Stagehand β perform browser action.
- Captcha API β bypass captcha.
- MindsDB β save data + predict next move.
- Loop. Forever.
Use Cases That Actually Pay
- Social Media Army: manage multiple brand or affiliate accounts safely.
- Affiliate Marketing: automate registrations, posting, tracking links.
- Scraping Empire: gather tons of data without getting banned.
- Auto Email/SMS Verifications: APIs like smtp2go + textverified.
Realistic Monthly Costs
Tool | Cost |
---|---|
n8n | Freeβ$20/mo |
Octobrowser | $79β$348/mo |
Proxies | $50β$150/mo |
Captcha | $50β$200/mo |
MindsDB | Freeβ$500/mo |
Total: $80β$400/month vs $2K+ for enterprise tools.
Reality Check
- Detection keeps evolving β use human-like delays + random actions.
- Captchas adapt β hybrid AI + human solves work best.
- RAM eats up fast β each browser = 200β500MB.
- Scale smart β use Redis queue mode for multiple n8n workers.

Final Thought
Youβre not automating β youβre cloning yourself.
Set it once, test, scale, and watch the system grind money while youβre doom-scrolling.
