What is it?

Browser Use is one of the most popular open-source projects for letting AI drive a browser. This server gives Claude Code a real browser to finish web jobs, like "check the prices on these five supplier sites" or "fill in this form for each row of my spreadsheet".

By default it drives the Chrome you already have open. The first time, Chrome asks you to allow remote debugging. It needs uv installed. For work on a server, or lots of browsers at once, it can use Browser Use's cloud browsers instead, which cost $0.02 an hour plus proxy data.

Anthropic's Claude in Chrome does a similar job but needs a paid Claude plan signed in. Browser Use works with any Claude Code login, including an API key.

What Claude can do once it's connected

  • Open pages, click, type and fill in forms in a real browser
  • Work in your own Chrome, with your tabs and logins
  • Pull information off websites into a table or summary
  • Take screenshots to check what a page looks like
  • Run many cloud browsers at once for bigger jobs

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 browser-use -- uvx --python 3.12 browser-use@latest --cli-mcp

Other ways to set it up:

Setup
# Or install Browser Use's plugin, which sets up the same thing:
claude plugin install browser-use@claude-plugins-official
# Cloud browsers only (no Chrome needed), with an API key from cloud.browser-use.com:
claude mcp add -t http -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY" browser-use https://api.browser-use.com/v3/mcp

Who it's for

Anyone who wants Claude to do repetitive jobs on websites that have no connector.

Best for

  • Filling in web forms
  • Collecting info from websites
  • Jobs on logged-in sites
  • Checking your own site

Why it made the list

Browser Use has around 120,000 GitHub stars, and its plugin is in Anthropic's official plugin list.
