Browser Use

What you can do with Browser Use

Browser Use's local MCP server exposes its browser agent over stdio so an MCP client can navigate, click, type, read page state and take screenshots, with a fallback tool that hands a whole task to the Browser Use agent when direct control fails.

• ·Navigate to a page and take a screenshot
• ·Click, type and scroll through a site step by step
• ·Extract content or HTML from the current page
• ·Manage multiple tabs and browser sessions
• ·Delegate a stuck task to the Browser Use agent
