browser-use MCP server

Documentation License

Project Note: This MCP server implementation builds upon the browser-use/web-ui foundation. Core browser automation logic and configuration patterns are adapted from the original project.

AI-driven browser automation server implementing the Model Context Protocol (MCP) for natural language browser control.

Features

  • 🧠 MCP Integration - Full protocol implementation for AI agent communication

  • 🌐 Browser Automation - Page navigation, form filling, and element interaction

  • 👁️ Visual Understanding - Screenshot analysis and vision-based interactions

  • 🔄 State Persistence - Maintain browser sessions between tasks

  • 🔌 Multi-LLM Support - OpenAI, Anthropic, Azure, DeepSeek integration

Development

# Install dev dependencies
uv sync

# Run with debugger
npx @modelcontextprotocol/inspector uv --directory . run mcp-server-browser-use

Troubleshooting

  • Browser Conflicts: Close all Chrome instances before starting.

  • API Errors: Verify API keys in environment variables match your LLM provider.

  • Vision Support: Ensure MCP_USE_VISION=true for screenshot analysis.

    D1.9/5.0

    Scored across 1 tool

    Disambiguation5/5

    With only one tool, there is no possibility of ambiguity or overlap between tools. The single tool 'run_browser_agent' has a distinct purpose that cannot be confused with any other tool in this set.

    Naming Consistency5/5

    The naming pattern cannot be inconsistent with only one tool. The tool name 'run_browser_agent' follows a clear verb_noun pattern, and there are no other tools to create naming conflicts or mixed conventions.

    Tool Count2/5

    A single tool is generally too few for most server purposes, as it limits functionality and may not cover the domain adequately. For a browser automation server, one tool feels thin and restrictive compared to typical expectations of multiple actions like navigation, clicking, or form filling.

    Completeness1/5

    The tool surface is severely incomplete for browser automation. With only one tool to run an agent, there are obvious gaps in core operations such as navigating to URLs, interacting with page elements, extracting data, or managing browser sessions, which will likely cause agent failures in practical use.
