Test

Status: NEEDS-DESKTOP (paid)

Opera Neon is a premium AI-assisted desktop browser with a paid subscription requirement. There is no CLI binary, no npm package, and no programmatic test interface. Verification is done by launching the browser and confirming key functionality.

What is required

• Opera Neon installed from operaneon.com
• An active paid subscription
• Signed in with your Opera account

Manual smoke test

Prerequisites: Opera Neon installed and signed in with an active subscription.

Step 1: Launch check

Open Opera Neon. The browser should start without errors and display the main interface with the sidebar and task panel visible.

Success indicator: The Opera Neon UI loads, the sidebar icons are present, and no error dialog appears.

Step 2: Agent task check

Open the Task panel and enter a minimal task:

What is the current date and summarize it in one sentence.

Success indicator: Within a few seconds, an agent responds with a one-sentence answer. The response appears in a Neon Card or the task output panel. No "agent unavailable" or authentication error is shown.

Step 3: Subscription validation check

Navigate to https://operaneon.com/subscription inside Opera Neon. Your account status should show as active.

Success indicator: The subscription page reflects your active plan with no "payment required" prompt.

Step 4: MCP connector check (if connectors configured)

In Settings > Agents > MCP Connectors, confirm the connector status shows "Connected" or "Active" for any configured connector.

Success indicator: No red error indicators next to connector entries.

What passing looks like

A fully working Opera Neon install produces:

• Browser UI loads on startup with no errors
• A simple agent task returns a coherent response within 10 to 30 seconds
• Subscription status is shown as active
• MCP connectors (if any) report connected status

Automated testing

No public CLI, SDK, or API exists for programmatic testing of Opera Neon as of June 2026. Automated smoke testing is not supported. All validation is manual via the GUI.

Troubleshooting

Symptom	Likely Cause	Action
Agent task never completes	Network issue or subscription lapsed	Check internet connection; verify subscription status
"Sign in required" on launch	Session expired	Sign out and sign back in with Opera account
MCP connector shows error	Connector endpoint unreachable	Verify the connector server is running and the URL/auth is correct
Browser fails to start	Installer corruption	Re-download installer from operaneon.com and reinstall
