What it does
Browser Use is an open-source browser agent library, and its MCP options let an AI client drive a browser in two ways. Run locally with 'browser-use --cli-mcp', it gives the client three tools: one that executes Python with browser helper functions and raw Chrome DevTools calls in the Chrome you already have open, one that returns a screenshot, and one that signs in to Browser Use Cloud. The hosted server at api.browser-use.com instead runs whole tasks in Browser Use's cloud browsers and needs a cloud API key. The docs ask users to pin an exact package version because releases change quickly.
Capabilities
- Run Python browser automation code in your own Chrome
- Take screenshots of the current page
- Run browser tasks in Browser Use Cloud browsers
- Keep a cloud browser session alive for follow-up tasks
