What is it?

Browser MCP is a Chrome extension plus a small server that lets AI apps use your own browser, with your logins and your profile, in tabs of their own. Everything runs on your computer.

Install the extension, run the command below, then restart Claude Code. The first time, the extension asks you to Allow the connection and shows a six-digit code to match. It works in Chrome, Edge, Brave and Arc, but not Firefox. It needs Node.js.

Claude in Chrome, Anthropic's own extension, covers similar ground if you're on a paid Claude plan. Browser MCP is free, works with any Claude login, and also works in Cursor, VS Code and other AI apps.

What Claude can do once it's connected

  • Open and work in its own tabs in your normal Chrome profile
  • Use sites you're already signed in to
  • Click, type, scroll and fill in forms
  • Read pages and take screenshots
  • Work alongside you while you keep using your browser

Install in Claude Code

Open your terminal (the text window where you run Claude Code) in your project folder, then paste this command to connect it:

Command
claude mcp add --scope user browsermcp -- npx @browsermcp/mcp@latest

Other ways to set it up:

Who it's for
