What you can do with it

We have not written a plain-language summary for this one yet. Below are the facts we read from the registry.

Connection: Runs in the cloud
Transport: Streamable HTTP
Category: Web & browsers

Install

Pick the AI app you use, then copy the settings.

Before you install

Basic checks: 0 of 1 passed
Runs on the maker’s server: what you ask it goes through their server.
You fill in yourself: Authorization

You need

Runs in the cloudNothing to install; it connects over the internet

Which app do you use?

ClaudeClaude CodeCursorVS CodeChatGPT

Pick your app above. We remember it, so next time the button says “Install in …”.

This address needs a key in a request header, which the add-connector menu cannot set. Use Claude Code, Cursor or VS Code instead.

Run this in your terminal

claude mcp add --transport http browser https://browser.regiq.in/api/mcp --header 'Authorization: your-value'

Fill in the empty values before running it.

Open in Cursor

Or copy the settings yourself

Paste into .cursor/mcp.json in your project, or ~/.cursor/mcp.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "browser": {
      "url": "https://browser.regiq.in/api/mcp",
      "headers": {
        "Authorization": "your-value"
      }
    }
  }
}

Your browser asks to open the app, then the app shows the settings and asks you to confirm. Key values are left empty for you to fill in.

Open in VS Code

Or copy the settings yourself

Paste into .vscode/mcp.json in your project

{
  "servers": {
    "browser": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://browser.regiq.in/api/mcp",
      "headers": {
        "Authorization": "your-value"
      }
    }
  }
}

Your browser asks to open the app, then the app shows the settings and asks you to confirm. Key values are left empty for you to fill in.

This address needs a key in a request header, which the add-connector menu cannot set. Use Claude Code, Cursor or VS Code instead.

Your choice stays on this device in a cookie; no account needed.

Values you fill in

Authorization HTTP header
Bearer — get yours at https://browser.regiq.in after sign-in.

These settings are generated from the maker’s registry entry. If the README says otherwise, follow the README.

Common questions

Is Browser MCP safe?

It passed 0 of 1 applicable basic checks. We have not read the code. Before adding a key or token, see what access the server asks for and use a key with only the permissions you need.

What keys or codes does it need?

The registry does not list a required key, though some servers ask you to sign in on first use.

Does it run on my computer or in the cloud?

It runs in the maker’s cloud. Connect over the internet with nothing to install, but what you send passes through the maker’s servers.

Is it still maintained?

The GitHub repo last changed –, and the latest version (0.2.0) reached the registry 4 months ago.

Which apps can use it?

Apps that support MCP, such as Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor and VS Code. It connects by URL, so apps that accept remote MCP servers work too, such as ChatGPT in developer mode.

What can I use instead?

Built by Shreyas · Shipped by Globalion

Hosted Chrome as an MCP skill. Give any MCP-compatible agent (Claude Desktop, Cursor, custom scripts) a real Chromium browser to drive — navigate, click, type, snapshot, read pages, take screenshots. Human-like behaviour, per-user isolated sessions, encrypted credential storage so login-gated sites work without leaking passwords to the LLM.

Real Chromium on our server via Playwright. Not headless-only tricks — full browser context.
Stealth defaults — patches the most common bot-detection tells (navigator.webdriver, plugins, chrome runtime). Not bulletproof against heavy defences like Cloudflare Turnstile; v0.2 adds proxies + CAPTCHA solving.
Per-user isolation — separate BrowserContext per user, so cookies + localStorage don't leak between accounts.
Encrypted credentials — AES-256-GCM at rest. use_credentials types the password into the page server-side; the LLM never sees it.
No LLM in our stack — your agent is the brain. We just drive the browser.

Hosted at [browser.regiq.in](https://browser.regiq.in).

Use it

Visit https://browser.regiq.in and sign in with Google or GitHub.
Generate an MCP API key on the dashboard.
Add to Claude Desktop's claude_desktop_config.json:

json { "mcpServers": { "browser": { "url": "https://browser.regiq.in/api/mcp", "headers": { "Authorization": "Bearer YOUR_KEY_HERE" } } } }

Restart Claude Desktop. Ask it: *"open workit.info and search for placements in Cambridge."* Your agent will call the browser tools and drive the page.

Tools

Tool	Purpose
`browser_new_session()`	Spin up a session; returns `sessionId`. 15 min idle timeout.
`browser_close_session(sessionId)`	Clean up.
`browser_navigate(sessionId, url)`	Go to URL, wait for DOMContentLoaded.
`browser_snapshot(sessionId)`	Accessibility tree with per-element uids.
`browser_click(sessionId, uid)`	Click element by uid.
`browser_type(sessionId, uid, text)`	Fill input by uid.
`browser_press_key(sessionId, key)`	Keyboard press: `Enter`, `Tab`, `Control+A`, etc.
`browser_wait_for(sessionId, selector)`	Wait for CSS selector to appear.
`browser_read_page(sessionId)`	Plain-text page content (20 KB cap).
`browser_screenshot(sessionId)`	PNG as base64.
`save_credentials(domain, username, password)`	Encrypt + store login for a site.
`use_credentials(sessionId, domain, usernameSelector, passwordSelector)`	Type stored creds into a login form. Password never returned.
`list_saved_credentials()`	See what's stored (domains + usernames only).

Handling login-gated sites

Your agent sees a login form. Flow:

Check for saved creds — list_saved_credentials().
If saved for this domain — call use_credentials(sessionId, "workit.info", "input[name=email]", "input[type=password]"). Server decrypts + types. Then click the submit button.
If not saved — tell the user: *"I need your workit.info login to continue. Save it at https://browser.regiq.in/dashboard, then ask me again."*

For MVP the user has to save creds via the dashboard. v0.2 will let the agent request creds through a paired channel (e.g. via telegram-mcp).

Self-host

You'll need:

Docker + Compose
A Google or GitHub OAuth client
A public HTTPS domain (Cloudflare Tunnel or ngrok http 3013)
~4 GB RAM (Playwright + Chromium)

git clone https://github.com/globalion/browser-mcp

cd browser-mcp cp .env.example .env

fill NEXTAUTH_SECRET, GOOGLE_/GITHUB_*, PUBLIC_BASE_URL,

and generate CRED_ENCRYPTION_KEY with `openssl rand -hex 32`

docker compose up -d

open http://localhost:3013

Architecture

Your MCP agent  →  /api/mcp (Bearer auth)  →  In-memory session Map  →  Playwright BrowserContext

↕ Postgres (audit + credentials, AES-256-GCM)

Sessions live in the container's memory. A restart kills all active sessions — users just call browser_new_session again. Contexts auto-close after 15 min idle to free RAM.

Bot avoidance — realistic expectations

The stealth init script strips navigator.webdriver, adds fake plugins, exposes window.chrome.runtime, and patches the notifications permission oddity. Combined with a real Chromium binary (not headless-only) and realistic viewport/UA/timezone, that gets past most public sites.

Sites with serious anti-bot (Cloudflare Turnstile, PerimeterX, DataDome) will still detect. To bypass those you need:

Residential proxies (~$50/mo services like Bright Data)
CAPTCHA solving (~$0.001/solve via 2captcha)
More elaborate fingerprint spoofing

That's v0.2 territory. For now, use browser-mcp on sites that aren't actively hunting bots.
