Evidence-backed setup

Install & Agents

Choose your MCP client. A client connects to the MCP server; the language model is selected inside that client. Only stored, source-backed configurations are shown.

Claude Code

Streamable HTTP

MCP100 logic checked

claude mcp add --transport http browserbase "https://mcp.browserbase.com/mcp"

The publisher connection details were combined with this client's official MCP transport configuration; installation was not executed by MCP100.

Verify safely: Reconnect Claude Code, complete the publisher OAuth or authentication flow if prompted, confirm browserbase tools are listed, and perform one read-only test.

Uninstall and revoke

Remove browserbase from Claude Code, clear its stored MCP OAuth credentials, and revoke the publisher authorization if it is no longer needed.

Evidence & methodology

Publisher-documented setup is not the same as MCP100 execution testing. “MCP100 logic checked” means the stored configuration shape was reviewed, not that third-party MCP software was run.

Reviewed access

Access & risk

Review the exact access boundary before connecting this MCP to accounts, credentials, or sensitive data.

Authentication: The hosted server uses Browserbase account authentication.
Permissions: Browserbase project credentials, session settings, and account limits govern execution.
Data handling: Authorized service data and tool results pass through the MCP server to the connected AI client. Review the publisher and client data policies before using sensitive browser automation information.
Cost: The MCP integration has no separately verified MCP100 price conclusion. Publisher subscriptions, API usage, compute, storage, and AI-client charges may apply.
Risk and cautions: The former self-hosted repository is archived, so hosted maintenance transparency and migration stability need review. Use a test environment where practical, least-privilege credentials, narrowly enabled tools, and explicit confirmation for mutations. MCP100 did not execute third-party server code during this documentation review.

MCP Server

Browserbase MCP server

Copy page Copy page

Give MCP clients a browser through Model Context Protocol integration with Stagehand

Copy page Copy page

The Browserbase MCP server gives any MCP client a browser. Built on Stagehand, it lets agents interact with the web using natural language commands.

The hosted Streamable HTTP endpoint is served on Browserbase infrastructure. You can also run the MCP server locally with STDIO, but the hosted Streamable HTTP endpoint is recommended for most users.

Key features

Natural language automation

Control browsers using plain English commands like “click the login button” or “fill out the contact form”

Web interaction

Navigate, click, and fill forms with ease

Data extraction

Extract structured data from any website automatically

Session lifecycle

Create, reuse, and close browser sessions with explicit MCP tools

Core benefits

Ease of use
Powerful capabilities
Enterprise ready

Intuitive commands

No need to learn complex selectors or automation syntax. Simply describe what you want to do in natural language.

Quick setup

Get started in minutes with either hosted Streamable HTTP or local STDIO.

FAQ

What can Browserbase Hosted MCP do?

MCP100's current stored description says: Run managed browser sessions through Browserbase's hosted MCP endpoint.

Can Browserbase MCP run managed browser sessions for an AI agent?

MCP100's current stored permissions review says: Browserbase project credentials, session settings, and account limits govern execution.

Does Browserbase MCP work with Codex?

Yes. MCP100 found MCP100 logic checked setup for Codex. The current reviewed evidence also documents setup for Claude Code, Claude Desktop, VS Code, Cursor, and OpenCode. This reflects setup evidence, not an MCP100 execution test or a guarantee that a current client will connect.

Is this an official MCP?

Browserbase is listed as First-party MCP in MCP100’s current evidence.
