Browser Use MCP Server

Spec Support Unverified First-party Confidence: Good (0.85)

Browser Use MCP Server is an MCP server published by Browser Use; its MCP spec-revision support has not been verified yet. It is the first-party server from Browser Use. Last verified 2026-08-14.

Does Browser Use MCP Server support the current MCP specification (2026-07-28)?

Undetermined. We have not verified which MCP specification revision Browser Use MCP Server supports (as of 2026-08-14).

Is Browser Use MCP Server a first-party (official) MCP server?

Yes. Browser Use MCP Server is the first-party MCP server published by Browser Use (last verified 2026-08-14).

How do I connect to Browser Use MCP Server?

Browser Use MCP Server is available via the package pypi:browser-use, the official MCP Registry under com.browser-use/browser-use, the source repository at https://github.com/browser-use/browser-use. Authentication: none. Transports: stdio.

When were Browser Use MCP Server's facts last verified?

2026-08-14. Each fact on this page links to the sources used to verify it.

Browser Use is a browser automation library whose MCP server ships inside the main browser-use Python package rather than as a separate artifact. The codebase carries two stdio server variants. The --mcp flag starts the full-featured server documented on docs.browser-use.com, with tools such as browser_navigate, browser_click, browser_type, browser_get_state, and browser_extract_content, plus an agent tool that requires an LLM API key in the environment. The --cli-mcp flag starts a minimal two-tool server: browser_exec, which runs Python snippets against a browser-harness session, and browser_screenshot.

The distinction matters because the registry entry and the docs point at different variants. The in-repo server.json that feeds the official registry launches the package with --cli-mcp, so a client installing from the registry record gets the minimal exec-style server, not the tool set the public docs walk through. Neither variant carries MCP-level authentication; both run locally.

Browser Use also operates a hosted MCP endpoint at https://api.browser-use.com/v3/mcp, authorized with an x-browser-use-api-key header and exposing cloud session-management tools. That service has a different tool surface from the local server and is not covered by this record.

Authority rests on the domain-verified com.browser-use registry namespace, the GitHub-verified browser-use organization, and the README's registry ownership comment. No surface names a supported MCP specification revision; the library pins the Python mcp==1.26.0 SDK, which is not evidence of revision support. spec_status is therefore unknown. The registry record (0.13.5) trails the repository's latest release (0.13.7, 2026-07-27) by two releases.

How widely adopted is Browser Use MCP Server?

Ranked #1 in The MCP 500 with Adoption Index 100.00 (snapshot , methodology v1).

  1. Official MCP Registry record com.browser-use/browser-use version 0.13.5 (published 2026-07-17) - pypi package browser-use, stdio transport, website browser-use.com; the com.* namespace requires domain verification - accessed
  2. browser-use/browser-use repository - README's first line carries the registry ownership comment "mcp-name: com.browser-use/browser-use"; the in-repo server.json launches the pypi package with the positional argument --cli-mcp; the repo's browser_use/mcp/ package contains both server.py (--mcp, tools including browser_navigate, browser_click, browser_type, browser_get_state, browser_extract_content) and cli_mcp.py (--cli-mcp, tools browser_exec and browser_screenshot) - accessed
  3. Browser Use open-source MCP docs - documents running the server via uvx --from 'browser-use[cli]' browser-use --mcp in stdio mode, with LLM API keys passed as environment variables - accessed
  4. Browser Use cloud MCP docs - document a separate hosted endpoint at https://api.browser-use.com/v3/mcp authorized with an x-browser-use-api-key header, exposing session-management tools (run_session, get_session, send_task, stop_session); a distinct product from the local stdio server this record covers - accessed
  5. browser-use/browser-use releases - 0.13.5 (2026-07-17) notes "support MCP registry" via PR #5242; 0.13.6 and 0.13.7 (2026-07-27) have since shipped, so the registry record trails the repo by two releases - accessed
  6. Staleness re-verification via the GitHub API - repository browser-use/browser-use active (pushed 2026-08-14, not archived), latest release 0.13.7 (2026-07-27); entity facts unchanged - accessed
