FreemiumBy Browserbase
View on the web What is it?
Browserbase runs real browsers in the cloud. Its MCP server lets Claude drive one with plain instructions like "click the pricing tab" or "pull every product name on this page", so it can research and collect data well beyond what it does on its own.
Because the browser runs on Browserbase's servers, nothing opens on your machine and you can leave long jobs running. Playwright is the free, local option; Browserbase is the one to reach for when sites push back or you want it off your laptop.
What Claude can do once it's connected
- Open any website in a browser that runs in the cloud
- Click, type and fill in forms from a plain-English instruction
- Pull structured data off a page
- Work through logged-out sites that block simple scrapers
Install in Claude Code

Command
