browser-use MCP server
This browser-use MCP server is a note storage system that allows you to:
Store notes: Add new notes with a name, description, and content using the
add-notetoolAccess notes: Retrieve stored notes via a custom
note://URI schemeSummarize notes: Generate brief or detailed summaries of all stored notes using the
summarize-notesprompt with an optionalstyleparameterManage resources: Each note is stored with structured metadata (name, description, mimetype)
Click on "Deploy Server".
Wait a few minutes for the server to deploy. Once ready, it will show a "Started" state.
In the chat, type
@followed by the MCP server name and your instructions, e.g., "@browser-use MCP serveradd a note about meeting tomorrow with content 'Team sync at 2 PM to discuss Q3 goals'"
That's it! The server will respond to your query, and you can continue using it as needed.
Here is a step-by-step guide with screenshots.
browser-use MCP server
A MCP server project
Components
Resources
The server implements a simple note storage system with:
Custom note:// URI scheme for accessing individual notes
Each note resource has a name, description and text/plain mimetype
Prompts
The server provides a single prompt:
summarize-notes: Creates summaries of all stored notes
Optional "style" argument to control detail level (brief/detailed)
Generates prompt combining all current notes with style preference
Tools
The server implements one tool:
add-note: Adds a new note to the server
Takes "name" and "content" as required string arguments
Updates server state and notifies clients of resource changes

Quickstart
Install
Claude Desktop
On MacOS: ~/Library/Application\ Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json
On Windows: %APPDATA%/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json
Development
Building and Publishing
To prepare the package for distribution:
Sync dependencies and update lockfile:
uv syncBuild package distributions:
uv buildThis will create source and wheel distributions in the dist/ directory.
Publish to PyPI:
uv publishNote: You'll need to set PyPI credentials via environment variables or command flags:
Token:
--tokenorUV_PUBLISH_TOKENOr username/password:
--username/UV_PUBLISH_USERNAMEand--password/UV_PUBLISH_PASSWORD
Debugging
Since MCP servers run over stdio, debugging can be challenging. For the best debugging experience, we strongly recommend using the MCP Inspector.
You can launch the MCP Inspector via npm with this command:
npx @modelcontextprotocol/inspector uv --directory /Users/adamholsinger/mcp-servers/browser-use run browser-useUpon launching, the Inspector will display a URL that you can access in your browser to begin debugging.

Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
With no annotations provided, the description carries the full burden of behavioral disclosure. It only says 'Add a new note' and provides no details on side effects, permissions, return values, or error behavior.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is a single short sentence with no wasted words, making it concise and front-loaded. However, it is under-specified for the tool's complexity, though this is largely a completeness issue rather than a conciseness issue.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given the lack of annotations, output schema, and parameter descriptions, a five-word description is insufficient for an agent to invoke the tool correctly. The meaning of the parameters and expected return behavior remain ambiguous.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
The input schema has zero description coverage for the two required parameters ('name' and 'content'), and the description does not explain their meaning or format. The agent cannot infer what 'name' or 'content' represent.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description uses a specific verb ('Add') and a specific resource ('note'), clearly stating the tool's function. It differentiates itself from the sibling 'get_report', which is a read operation.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
No guidance is provided on when to use this tool versus alternatives. The description only states the action without any context about when to invoke it or when to choose a sibling tool.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.

Scored across 1 tool
With only one tool, there is no possibility of ambiguity or confusion between tools. The tool 'add-note' has a clear and distinct purpose that cannot be misselected against other tools.
Since there is only one tool, it inherently follows a consistent naming pattern. The tool name 'add-note' uses a verb_noun format, which is clear and predictable, and there are no other tools to cause inconsistency.
A single tool is too few for a server named 'browser-use', which suggests a broader scope related to browser interactions. This minimal set feels thin and incomplete for the implied domain, limiting functionality.
The tool set is severely incomplete for a browser-use server. With only an 'add-note' tool, there are obvious gaps in core browser operations like navigation, clicking, or form filling, making it inadequate for typical browser automation tasks.
