Browser Use Mcp

Browser Use MCP Server

A Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that provides browser automation capabilities using Puppeteer. This server enables LLMs to interact with web pages through structured accessibility snapshots, bypassing the need for screenshots or visually-tuned models.

Key Features

• ⚡ Fast & lightweight. Utilizes Puppeteer's label index, not pixel-based input and accessibility DOM tree.
• 🤖 LLM-optimized. No vision models needed, operates purely on structured data, less context reducing context token usage.
• 🌐 Cross-Platform & Extensible. Support for remote and local browsers, the use of a custom browser engine.

Requirements

• Node.js 18 or newer
• VS Code, Cursor, Windsurf, Claude Desktop or any other MCP client

Getting started

Local (Stdio)

First, install the Browser MCP server with your client. A typical configuration looks like this:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "browser": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "@agent-infra/mcp-server-browser@latest"
      ]
    }
  }
}

# For VS Code
code --add-mcp '{"name":"browser","command":"npx","args":["@agent-infra/mcp-server-browser@latest"]}'

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "browser": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "@agent-infra/mcp-server-browserp@latest"
      ]
    }
  }
}

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "browser": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "@agent-infra/mcp-server-browser@latest"
      ]
    }
  }
}

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "browser": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "@agent-infra/mcp-server-browser@latest"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Remote (SSE / Streamable HTTP)

At the same time, use --port $your_port arg to start the browser mcp can be converted into SSE and Streamable HTTP Server.

# normal run remote mcp server
npx @agent-infra/mcp-server-browser --port 8089

# run with DISPLAY environment for VNC or other virtual display
DISPLAY=:0 npx @agent-infra/mcp-server-browser --port 8089

You can use one of the two MCP Server remote endpoint:

• Streamable HTTP(Recommended): http://127.0.0.1::8089/mcp
• SSE: http://127.0.0.1::8089/sse

And then in MCP client config, set the url to the SSE endpoint:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "browser": {
      "url": "http://127.0.0.1::8089/sse"
    }
  }
}

url to the Streamable HTTP:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "browser": {
      "type": "streamable-http", // If there is MCP Client support
      "url": "http://127.0.0.1::8089/mcp"
    }
  }
}

In-memory call

If your MCP Client is developed based on JavaScript / TypeScript, you can directly use in-process calls to avoid requiring your users to install the command-line interface to use Browser MCP.

import { Client } from '@modelcontextprotocol/sdk/client/index.js';
import { InMemoryTransport } from '@modelcontextprotocol/sdk/inMemory.js';

// type: module project usage
import { createServer } from '@agent-infra/mcp-server-browser';
// commonjs project usage
// const { createServer } = await import('@agent-infra/mcp-server-browser')

const client = new Client(
  {
    name: 'test browser client',
    version: '1.0',
  },
  {
    capabilities: {},
  },
);

const server = createServer();
const [clientTransport, serverTransport] = InMemoryTransport.createLinkedPair();

await Promise.all([
  client.connect(clientTransport),
  server.connect(serverTransport),
]);

// list tools
const result = await client.listTools();
console.log(result);

// call tool
const toolResult = await client.callTool({
  name: 'browser_navigate',
  arguments: {
    url: 'https://www.google.com',
  },
});
console.log(toolResult);
