Browser MCP is a Model Context Provider (MCP) server that allows AI applications to control your browser
Browser MCP is an MCP server paired with a Chrome extension that enables AI applications to automate a user's existing browser rather than spawning isolated browser instances. It connects to Claude Desktop, Cursor, VS Code, and Windsurf through the Model Context Protocol, letting those tools navigate pages, click elements, fill forms, and perform other browser actions directly. Because automation runs locally on the user's machine against their real Chrome profile, it inherits existing login sessions across all services without requiring re-authentication, and it presents an authentic browser fingerprint that helps avoid bot detection and CAPTCHAs. The project was adapted from Microsoft's Playwright MCP server, with the key architectural change being that it drives the user's live browser rather than creating fresh Playwright-managed instances. Developers, power users, and QA testers who need AI-driven browser automation without sacrificing privacy or losing authenticated sessions are the primary audience.

This allows using the user's existing browser profile to use logged-in sessions and avoid bot detection mechanisms that commonly block automated browser use.
