Browser MCP is a Model Context Provider (MCP) server that allows AI applications to control your browser

MCP Servers6.7k stars521 forksTypeScriptApache-2.0Updated 1y ago
Editor's note

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.

## About

Browser MCP is an MCP server + Chrome extension that allows you to automate your browser using AI applications like VS Code, Claude, Cursor, and Windsurf.

## Features

- ⚡ Fast: Automation happens locally on your machine, resulting in better performance without network latency.
- 🔒 Private: Since automation happens locally, your browser activity stays on your device and isn't sent to remote servers.
- 👤 Logged In: Uses your existing browser profile, keeping you logged into all your services.
- 🥷🏼 Stealth: Avoids basic bot detection and CAPTCHAs by using your real browser fingerprint.

## Contributing

This repo contains all the core MCP code for Browser MCP, but currently cannot yet be built on its own due to dependencies on utils and types from the monorepo where it's developed.

## Credits

Browser MCP was adapted from the [Playwright MCP server](https://github.com/microsoft/playwright-mcp) in order to automate the user's browser rather than creating new browser instances. 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.
