browser-use MCP server

Project Note: This MCP server implementation builds upon the browser-use/web-ui foundation. Core browser automation logic and configuration patterns are adapted from the original project.

AI-driven browser automation server implementing the Model Context Protocol (MCP) for natural language browser control.

Features

🧠 MCP Integration - Full protocol implementation for AI agent communication
🌐 Browser Automation - Page navigation, form filling, and element interaction
👁️ Visual Understanding - Screenshot analysis and vision-based interactions
🔄 State Persistence - Maintain browser sessions between tasks
🔌 Multi-LLM Support - OpenAI, Anthropic, Azure, DeepSeek integration

  "command": "uv",
  "args": [
    "--directory",
    "/path/to/mcp-browser-use",
    "run",
    "mcp-server-browser-use"
  ],
  "env": {
    ...
  }
}

Development

# Install dev dependencies
uv sync

# Run with debugger
npx @modelcontextprotocol/inspector uv --directory . run mcp-server-browser-use

Troubleshooting

Browser Conflicts: Close all Chrome instances before starting.
API Errors: Verify API keys in environment variables match your LLM provider.
Vision Support: Ensure MCP_USE_VISION=true for screenshot analysis.

Provider Configuration

The server supports multiple LLM providers through environment variables. Here are the available options for MCP_MODEL_PROVIDER:

Provider	Value	Required Env Variables
Anthropic	`anthropic`	`ANTHROPIC_API_KEY` `ANTHROPIC_ENDPOINT` (optional)
OpenAI	`openai`	`OPENAI_API_KEY` `OPENAI_ENDPOINT` (optional)
Azure OpenAI	`azure_openai`	`AZURE_OPENAI_API_KEY` `AZURE_OPENAI_ENDPOINT`
DeepSeek	`deepseek`	`DEEPSEEK_API_KEY` `DEEPSEEK_ENDPOINT` (optional)
Gemini	`gemini`	`GOOGLE_API_KEY`
Mistral	`mistral`	`MISTRAL_API_KEY` `MISTRAL_ENDPOINT` (optional)
Ollama	`ollama`	`OLLAMA_ENDPOINT` (optional, defaults to localhost:11434)
OpenRouter	`openrouter`	`OPENROUTER_API_KEY` `OPENROUTER_ENDPOINT` (optional)

Notes:

For endpoints marked as optional, default values will be used if not specified
Temperature can be configured using MCP_TEMPERATURE (default: 0.3)
Model can be specified using MCP_MODEL_NAME
For Ollama models, additional context settings like num_ctx and num_predict are configurable
