Common questions
Is Browser Core safe?
It passed 4 of 5 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 today, and the latest version (0.7.8) reached the registry today.
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 on the web (full MCP on Business and above; Pro read-only).
What can I use instead?

Browser Core — browser automation with human control
Connect AI agents to a browser you own. Choose your local Chrome or a personal Linux server.
Browser Core is an MCP-connected browser automation service by Shuh Lab. It opens pages, reads accessible controls, clicks, fills forms, extracts information, takes screenshots and saves encrypted browser profiles. When a login requires a password, CAPTCHA, 2FA or OAuth approval, the agent pauses for a user to briefly take control of that same session, then resumes.
Status: free public Local/BYO beta. Automated Telegram verification; Hosted Cloud is not public yet.
- Product website: https://browser.m2g.pro/
- GitHub documentation: https://github.com/ShuhLab/BrowserCore
- MCP endpoint: https://m2g.pro/browser-core/mcp (OAuth; invitation required)
- Official MCP Registry: io.github.ShuhLab/browser-core — version 0.7.8
- Mac 0.7.8 beta: https://browser.m2g.pro/downloads/BrowserCore-Mac-OneClick-0.7.8-beta.zip
- Linux / VPS 0.7.8 beta: https://browser.m2g.pro/docs#linux (self-service installer and worker package)
- Linux worker package: https://browser.m2g.pro/downloads/BrowserCore-Linux-BYO-0.7.8-beta.tar.gz

Current capabilities
| Feature | Local Mac | Personal Linux BYO | Hosted commercial cloud |
|---|---|---|---|
| MCP browser automation | Tested | Tested | Not available |
| Encrypted, reusable browser profile | Yes | Yes | Not available |
| Manual login / CAPTCHA / 2FA | Native Chrome or controlled window | Short, temporary remote live view | Not available |
| Connect to existing, individually approved Chrome tabs | Yes | No | Not available |
| Infrastructure provided by the user | Local computer | Your own server | Not available |
Manual remote viewing is ONLY for short authentication or verification steps. It is not intended for normal browsing; use your own computer when you need comfortable interactive work.
Getting started
- Open https://t.me/OpsTetherBot?start=browsercore or send /browser to the bot. It issues a one-time OAuth code automatically; no manual operator invitation.
- Add the OAuth-enabled MCP endpoint https://m2g.pro/browser-core/mcp in ChatGPT.
- Enter your Telegram-issued code on the official Browser Core OAuth page. This code expires after 15 minutes and is single-use.
- Choose Local or BYO, pair the worker using a separate pairing code, and explicitly grant the Chrome tab to operate.
- Enter sensitive login details only in the real browser, never in chat.
The current Mac installer is unsigned, not notarized, and requires Python 3.10–3.13. On Linux, the separately documented self-service script runs under an ordinary account and validates the downloaded versioned worker package checksum. Chrome extension installation may require Developer Mode. Windows, Apple Silicon and large-scale commercial hosted Cloud are not yet release-certified.
Why consider Browser Core?
- Work in your existing, explicitly approved Chrome tab instead of copying a profile into an agent cloud.
- Choose a local computer or your own Linux host; no mandatory commercial browser-minute subscription for these two modes during the beta.
- Human and agent can cooperate in the same remote context during an authentication challenge.
- Persistent sessions and encrypted browser profiles, with explicit permission boundaries.
These are our current product design choices, not claims of industry-first features. Manual takeover exists in Browserbase and other platforms. TinyFish offers a mature managed Chromium, CDP and proxy service that this beta does NOT replace at scale.
