MCP server that enables AI agents to control web browsers using the browser-use library for autonomous web browsing and automation.
MCP server that gives AI coding assistants (Claude Code, Cursor) browser control through natural language commands. Free self-hosted, cloud from $40/month.
Browser Use MCP Server connects AI coding assistants to a real web browser through the Model Context Protocol. Your AI sends commands like "navigate to this URL" or "click submit," and the server translates them into Playwright browser actions.
Built on the Browser Use library (50,000+ GitHub stars, $17M seed funding).
claude mcp add)| Setup | Browser Cost | LLM Cost | 20-step task |
|-------|-------------|----------|-------------|
| Local + GPT-4o | $0 | $0.20-1.00 | $0.20-1.00 |
| Local + Ollama | $0 | $0 | $0 |
| Cloud | $0.06/hr + fees | $0.04+ | $1-5 typical |
Fastest way to give your coding assistant browser access. One-command local setup works. But slow execution and unreliable on complex sites means it's for occasional tasks, not production automation.
Fastest way to give AI coding assistants browser access. One-command setup works, MCP integration is seamless. But agents are painfully slow and costs spiral on cloud. Use for occasional editor-based web tasks, not production automation.
Exposes browser automation as MCP tools that Claude Code, Cursor, Windsurf, and Claude Desktop can call natively. A single `claude mcp add` command wires the server into your editor, with no custom glue code or API client required.
Direct Control exposes granular Playwright primitives — navigate, click, type, scroll, tab management — so the LLM controls each step without burning tokens on agent reasoning. Autonomous Agent mode accepts a high-level goal in natural language and lets the browser-use agent plan the navigation, trading cost for flexibility.
Works with frontier models including GPT-4o, Claude, and Gemini, as well as fully local models via Ollama for zero-cost or privacy-sensitive workloads. This lets you mix providers per task — frontier models for complex reasoning, Ollama for cheap repetitive scraping.
Ships with a Docker image that bundles Chromium, Playwright, and a VNC server, so you can visually watch the agent click through pages in real time. This dramatically shortens debugging cycles compared to log-only headless runs.
Optional managed cloud adds residential proxies, anti-bot stealth, CAPTCHA solving, and persistent sessions on top of the local capabilities. Pricing is roughly $0.06/hour for browser infrastructure plus per-task LLM costs, useful when scraping protected sites without managing your own proxy stack.

Recent updates include expanded MCP client compatibility covering Claude Code, Cursor, Windsurf, and Claude Desktop, alongside the underlying Browser Use library crossing 50,000 GitHub stars after its 2024 $17M seed round. The Docker image now bundles VNC for visual debugging, and cloud mode added residential proxies, stealth, and CAPTCHA solving for sites that block standard automation.
