Overview

Browser MCP is a Model Context Provider server that works with a Chrome extension to allow AI applications like VS Code, Claude, Cursor, and Windsurf to control your existing browser. It operates locally on your machine for fast performance and privacy, keeping you logged into all your services and avoiding basic bot detection by using your real browser fingerprint. The project was adapted from the Playwright MCP server to automate the user's browser rather than creating new instances.
