MCP Browser Tools: Automate & Streamline Browser Workflows

What is MCP Browser Tools: Automate & Streamline Browser Workflows?

MCP Browser Tools is a lightweight package that exposes essential browser automation functionalities from the browser-use library as an mcp-server. It’s designed for developers who want to build custom browser automation workflows without the overhead of a full agent framework. Unlike other MCP tools that wrap the entire browser-use agent, this package focuses on providing core tools for those looking to "roll their own" automation logic.

How to Use MCP Browser Tools: Automate & Streamline Browser Workflows?

To get started, integrate the package into your project to access its pre-built browser interaction functions. You’ll need to implement your own control loop (the "agent" logic) but can leverage these tools directly for tasks like navigating URLs, interacting with elements, or processing content. Think of it as a toolkit for developers who prefer customization over ready-made solutions.
