local-only server

The server can only run on the client’s local machine because it depends on local resources.

Integrations

Uses .env file configuration for storing API keys and Chrome path settings
Mentions Windsurf (by Codeium) as a potential client, though notes it doesn't currently support SSE transport
Provides Docker support for containerized deployment with customizable VNC server password configuration

➡️ browser-use mcp server

browser-use MCP Server with SSE transport

requirements

uv

curl -LsSf https://astral.sh/uv/install.sh | sh

quickstart

uv sync
uv pip install playwright
uv run playwright install --with-deps --no-shell chromium
uv run server --port 8000

the .env requires the following:

OPENAI_API_KEY=[your api key]
CHROME_PATH=[only change this if you have a custom chrome build]

we will be adding support for other LLM providers to power browser-use (claude, grok, bedrock, etc)

when building the dockerfile you can add in your own VNC server password:

docker build --build-arg VNC_PASSWORD=klaatubaradanikto .

tools

SSE transport
browser_use - Initiates browser tasks with URL and action
browser_get_result - Retrieves results of async browser tasks

supported clients

cursor.ai
claude desktop
claude code
windsurf (windsurf doesn't support SSE yet)

usage

after running the server, add http://localhost:8000/sse to your client UI, or in a mcp.json file:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "browser-use-mcp-server": {
      "url": "http://localhost:8000/sse"
    }
  }
}

cursor

./.cursor/mcp.json

windsurf

~/.codeium/windsurf/mcp_config.json

claude

~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json
%APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json
