Installation Guide

Claude Code Plugin (Recommended)

Install as a Claude Code plugin for automatic setup:

bash
# Install the plugin
/plugin install browser-use/mcp-browser-use

The plugin automatically:

  • Installs Playwright browsers on first run

  • Starts the HTTP daemon when Claude Code starts

  • Registers the MCP server with Claude

    • Set your API key (the browser agent needs an LLM to decide actions):

    bash
    # Set API key (environment variable - recommended)
export GEMINI_API_KEY=your-key-here

# Or use config file
mcp-server-browser-use config set -k llm.api_key -v your-key-here

    That's it! Claude can now use browser automation tools.

    Manual Installation

    For other MCP clients or standalone use:

    bash
    # Clone and install
git clone https://github.com/Saik0s/mcp-browser-use.git
cd mcp-server-browser-use
uv sync

# Install browser
uv run playwright install chromium

# Start the server
uv run mcp-server-browser-use server

    Add to Claude Desktop (~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json):

    json
    {
  "mcpServers": {
    "browser-use": {
      "type": "streamable-http",
      "url": "http://localhost:8383/mcp"
    }
  }
}

    For MCP clients that don't support HTTP transport, use mcp-remote as a proxy:

    json
    {
  "mcpServers": {
    "browser-use": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["mcp-remote", "http://localhost:8383/mcp"]
    }
  }
}
