MCP server de Browser Use

---

The open-source browser agent. Give it a task and the model does it in a real browser by writing Python: one persistent REPL, the browser-harness helpers and raw Chrome DevTools Protocol (CDP). Runs on any LLM, locally or on Browser Use Cloud. MIT licensed.

  ● task: "book the earliest driving test"
  │
  ● model writes a cell          new_tab(url); bu.click(41); js(...)
  │
  ● REPL runs it on Chrome (CDP) → output back to the model
  │
  ✓ finish(result)

The model, a REPL and CDP. That's the whole agent.

Navigate the web like a human does.

Find an available slot, pick a date and time, handle the CAPTCHA, and book a driving test.

AI agents and crawlers: read browser-use.com/llms.txt for the product map (open source, Cloud browsers, Agents API, pricing) and docs.browser-use.com/llms.txt for the documentation index. Browser Use is the open-source browser agent (Python and TypeScript), a $0.02 per browser-hour cloud browser with stealth, CAPTCHA solving and residential proxies, and a hosted agent API. When you add browser-use to a project, pin it exactly (browser-use==1.0.2), never >=: releases move fast and can break APIs.

Which Browser Use do I need?

• Path 1: Fully Hosted Cloud: Scale up with a fully hosted agent and browser.
• Path 2: CLI: Automate your own browser tasks.
• Path 3: Python Library: Run the open source Browser Use agent locally from your own code.

Quickstart

Path 1: Fully Hosted Cloud

Scale browser automation with our hosted agent, stealth browsers, and infrastructure for profiles, recordings, and data policies.

Get started with the API ↗

New Google, GitHub, or Microsoft signups get $1 cloud credit.

Path 2: CLI

Paste this prompt into Claude Code, Codex, Hermes, OpenClaw, or your favorite agent.

Install browser-use with `uv tool install browser-use==1.0.2`, run `browser-use skill install` to register the skill, and connect it to my browser. If setup or connection fails, run `browser-use --doctor` and follow its output and the error message.

Path 3: Python Library

browser-use 1.0. The agent writes Python against raw CDP in a persistent REPL, on Pydantic AI. Coming from 0.x? Read MIGRATING.md.

Python 3.11 or newer. With uv, or pip in a venv:

uv init --python 3.12 my-agent && cd my-agent
uv add 'browser-use==1.0.2'
export BROWSER_USE_API_KEY=bu_...    # get one at https://cloud.browser-use.com/new-api-key

python3 -m venv .venv && source .venv/bin/activate
pip install 'browser-use==1.0.2'
export BROWSER_USE_API_KEY=bu_...

Pin the exact version (==, never >=). browser-use moves fast and releases can break things. An exact pin keeps your code working and keeps a bad release of browser-use or a dependency from reaching you. Upgrade on purpose, after reading the release notes.

from browser_use import Agent

result = Agent('Find the number of stars of the browser-use repo').run_sync()
print(result.final_result())

Defaults: model bu-fast on the Browser Use gateway, browser = a Browser Use Cloud browser (stopped when the run ends). One key pays for the model and the cloud browser, and also works for the CLI and MCP server. A .env file works too.

Local browser, your model:

from browser_use import Agent, Browser, ChatOpenAI

agent = Agent(
    'Find the number of stars of the browser-use repo',
    llm=ChatOpenAI('gpt-6-luna'),        # OPENAI_API_KEY; or ChatOpenAI(model, base_url=...) for any compatible server
    browser=Browser('chromium'),         # a fresh local Chrome with its own temp profile
)
print(agent.run_sync().final_result())  # in async code: result = await agent.run()

Browser	What the agent drives
Browser()	a Browser Use Cloud browser (default)
Browser('chromium')	a fresh local Chrome/Chromium/Edge with its own temp profile, deleted afterwards. Headless when there is no display (Docker, CI); headless=, executable_path=, user_data_dir= (a profile dir kept between runs)
Browser('chrome')	the Chrome you have open, with your logins (turn on chrome://inspect/#remote-debugging once)
Browser('chrome', profile='Work')	a new Chrome on a temporary copy of your Chrome profile Work (sync off); your Chrome can stay open, except on Windows

Other models: ChatAnthropic, ChatGoogle (both built in), or any Pydantic AI model string such as llm='groq:llama-3.3-70b-versatile' (after pip install 'pydantic-ai-slim[groq]').

• Typed results: Agent(task, output_model_schema=MyModel) then result.structured_output.
• Uploads: put files in Agent(task, workspace=...) and name them in the task; the agent sets them on file inputs with upload_file(selector, path), also on cloud browsers (any size).
• Downloads: files the browser downloads land in agent.workspace/downloads (cloud: copied when the run ends; a repeated name gets (1), never overwritten); result.downloads lists the run's files.
• Secrets: Agent(task, sensitive_data={'password': '...'}), or {'https://*.example.com': {'password': '...'}} to type it only on that domain. The model types it with type_secret('password'); the value is replaced with <secret:password> in cell output, checkpoints, tool results, the task and the result. Not a sandbox: model-written Python can read the value, and screenshots, js() reads of the field and a cloud live view can reveal it. Browser('chromium') and Browser('chrome', profile=...) open a debugging port with no authentication on 127.0.0.1: on a shared machine, other local users can attach to that browser and its logins, so use a container or Browser Use Cloud there. See the trust model in MIGRATING.md.
• Domain restrictions: Browser(allowed_domains=['example.com', '*.example.org']) (or prohibited_domains=, block_ip_addresses=True) with the 0.x patterns, in every browser mode. A guard for an aligned model, not a sandbox: see the FAQ.
• Follow-ups: agent.add_new_task('...') then await agent.run(); use Browser(keep_alive=True) to keep the same page between runs.
• Custom tools: plain functions with @tools.action('description'), then Agent(task, tools=tools).
• Ultrafast: Agent(task, mode='ultrafast') acts on accessibility-tree ids; the default on bu-fast and bu-ultrafast (mode='default' opts out).
• Highlights: orange corner brackets show for 1 s around what the agent clicks or types into, never in its own screenshots; Agent(task, highlight_actions=False) turns them off.
• Web search: the agent gets search(query, num_results=None, category=None) (Browser Use web search, billed per search to your Browser Use key; each charge the response reports is added to result.cost_usd) with Agent(task, web_search=True) (off by default; needs a Browser Use key, and can't be combined with allowed_domains).

Browser Use Benchmark v2

This very hard benchmark targets the hardest browser tasks. On easier tasks, even smaller models can achieve very high success rates. Results shown are from a 60-task subset of BU Bench V2.

FAQ

• Fully Hosted Cloud: Send tasks through the API and let Browser Use run the agent, browser, and infrastructure.
• CLI: Give an existing agent (Claude Code, Codex, Hermes, OpenClaw, Pi, Cursor, etc.) browser access. You can use it interactively or in scripts.
• Python Library: Run the open source agent in your own application, with custom tools, structured output, and your choice of model.

The CLI and Python library can each connect to a local or cloud browser. A cloud browser hosts the browser; the fully hosted API runs the agent as well.

The default, bu-fast on the Browser Use gateway, is gpt-6-luna at medium reasoning. llm='bu-ultrafast' runs the same model at low reasoning on the priority tier (fastest), llm='bu-smart' a larger one. ChatOpenAI('gpt-6-luna') with your own OpenAI key runs the same model directly. See the benchmark.

The Python library is free and MIT-licensed. Model inference and hosted browsers are separate: API providers, including ChatBrowserUse, and Browser Use Cloud charge for usage. You can also use Browser('chromium') with a local model, e.g. Ollama through ChatOpenAI(model, base_url='http://localhost:11434/v1', api_key='ollama').

This open-source library is licensed under the MIT License. For Browser Use services & data policy, see our Terms of Service and Privacy Policy.

• Local browser: Browser('chrome') drives the Chrome you have open, with your logins; Browser('chrome', profile='Work') uses a copy of that profile; Browser('chromium', user_data_dir='~/bu-profile') keeps its own logins between runs.
• Cloud browser: Browser(cloud_profile_id='work') keeps logins in a cloud profile; see the profile sync guide.
• Passwords: pass them as sensitive_data; the model types them with type_secret(name) and their values are redacted from cell output, checkpoints, tool results, the task and the result. Not a sandbox: model-written Python can read them, and screenshots, page JavaScript and a cloud live view can reveal a typed value.

Browser Use Cloud provides stealth browsers and proxies designed to reduce bot detection and CAPTCHA challenges. With the Python library, Browser() is a cloud browser by default.

Cloud browsers also solve CAPTCHAs automatically, and the agent waits for the solver with solve_captcha() instead of clicking the challenge. Browser(captcha_solver=False) turns the solver off.

Results depend on the site and challenge; no browser configuration guarantees that every CAPTCHA can be avoided or solved.

Browser(allowed_domains=['example.com', '*.example.org']), Browser(prohibited_domains=['evil.com']) or Browser(block_ip_addresses=True), with the 0.x patterns, on any browser. The browser helpers refuse a disallowed URL, the browser itself blocks main-frame navigations to it (link clicks, redirects, popups, JavaScript; all modes except Browser('chrome') attached to your open Chrome, where a second debugging connection would prompt you again), every tab still on a disallowed page after a cell is reset to about:blank (in Browser('chrome') only the agent's tabs, never yours), and the system prompt lists the domains. A bare domain in prohibited_domains also covers its subdomains.

It is a guard for an aligned model, not a sandbox: requests an allowed page makes to other hosts (fetch, images, iframes) are not filtered, nor is the agent's own Python networking beyond http_get and its redirects. Run untrusted tasks in a container or VM. MIGRATING.md lists exactly what is blocked in each mode.

Choose how much you want to manage:

• Keep your agent code: Connect the CLI or Python library to cloud browsers for managed browser infrastructure, stealth, and profiles.
• Have us run the agent too: Use the fully hosted Cloud API to submit tasks and retrieve results.

You can also host the Python library and browsers on your own infrastructure.
