@nxavis/agent-browser-mcp

A Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that provides browser automation capabilities through Vercel's agent-browser. This enables LLMs to interact with web pages using a fast Rust CLI with Node.js fallback.

Quick Start

# 1. Install agent-browser CLI
npm install -g agent-browser && agent-browser install

# 2. Add to Claude Desktop (or your MCP client)
npx @nxavis/agent-browser-mcp

Then use tools like browser_navigate, browser_click, browser_snapshot to control the browser from your AI agent.

• Data Extraction - Get text, HTML, attributes, accessibility snapshots, screenshots, and PDFs

• Cookie Management - Full control over browser cookies and storage

• JavaScript Execution - Run arbitrary scripts in the browser context

Installation

npm install @nxavis/agent-browser-mcp

Or run directly with npx:

npx @nxavis/agent-browser-mcp

Prerequisites

• Node.js 18 or newer

• agent-browser CLI installed:

# Install agent-browser globally
npm install -g agent-browser

# Download Chromium browser
agent-browser install

# On Linux, install system dependencies if needed:
