What is the Mcp MCP server?

Browser MCP connects AI applications like Claude or VS Code to a real Chrome browser instance. Automation executes on the local machine for speed and privacy while leveraging the user's actual browser fingerprint and login state.

Adapted from the Playwright MCP server, it focuses on controlling existing browser sessions rather than launching isolated instances. The project requires dependencies from its monorepo and cannot be built standalone.

Install & connect

Set up this server, then add it to your MCP client.

Full setup instructions are in the GitHub repository.

Example prompts

Once connected, try asking your AI client:

“Open my browser and navigate to the company dashboard
“Check my Gmail inbox for unread messages from today
“Fill out the contact form on this website with my details
“Take a screenshot of the current page and describe its content

Security & permissions

Runs locally via stdio transport with no remote API keys required. Accesses the user's real Chrome profile and browser activity on the device only.
