Connect AI apps to your browser to automate tests and tasks

What is this?

If you want to automate actions on a website, like repeatedly fill out a form, you normally can't do it with AI apps like Cursor or Claude because they don't have access to a web browser. With Browser MCP, you can connect AI apps to your browser so they can automate tasks on your behalf.

Use Cases

Speed up and automate your workflows

Enable your AI editor to automatically test your code end-to-end. Test user flows, validate UI elements, and ensure your application works as expected across different scenarios.

Automate repetitive web-based tasks with ease. From data collection and form filling to workflow automation, save time and reduce errors in your day-to-day operations.

Why Browser MCP?

Automate with speed, security, and convenience

Fast

Automation happens locally on your machine, resulting in better performance without network latency.

🔒

Private

Since automation happens locally, your browser activity stays on your device and isn't sent to remote servers.

👤

Logged In

Uses your existing browser profile, keeping you logged into all your services.

🥷

Stealth

Avoids bot detection and CAPTCHAs by using your real browser fingerprint.
