browser-mcp
Drive your real, logged-in Chrome from any AI agent (Claude Code, Cursor, VS Code) — works where headless dies. Reads emailed login codes from your Gmail, solves CAPTCHAs, 34 tools. MIT, local-only.
How to read this: tool names here are observed from a live tools/list handshake. The Risk label is a heuristic inferred from the tool name (write/destructive verbs), not from executing the tool — a conservative guess, not a verified capability. We never escalate risk from a description. Found one that's wrong? Tell us — we fix on report.
| Tool | Risk | Side effects | Approval |
|---|---|---|---|
| browser_list_tabs List all open browser tabs with their URLs and titles. | read | false | unknown |
| browser_screenshot Take a screenshot of the visible area of the current tab. Returns base64 PNG, or saves to disk if path is provided. | read | false | unknown |
| browser_get_new_tab Get the most recently opened tab (useful after clicking links that open new tabs, OAuth popups, etc.). | read | false | unknown |
| browser_set_date Robustly set a date input — handles native <input type="date">, masked text inputs (e.g. MM/DD/YYYY), and calendar pickers (MUI, react-datepicker, AntD, Lexical/Meta). Tries native value-set, format-aware typing via Input.insertText, and ARIA-based picker navigation in sequence with read-back verification. Use instead of browser_fill when fill fails or for any input that opens a calendar widget. | write | true | unknown |
| browser_get_page_content Get the content of the current page as text or HTML. | read | false | unknown |
| browser_handle_dialog Handle JavaScript alert(), confirm(), or prompt() dialogs. Call this BEFORE triggering the action that causes the dialog. Waits for the dialog to appear, then accepts or dismisses it. | unknown | unknown | unknown |
| browser_wait Wait for an element to appear on the page. Supports CSS and text-based selectors. | unknown | unknown | unknown |
| browser_solve_captcha Detect and solve CAPTCHAs on the current page. Auto-detects reCAPTCHA v2/v3, hCaptcha, Cloudflare Turnstile, and FunCaptcha. Tries auto-click first (often clears reCAPTCHA v2 when signed into Google), then returns a screenshot for AI vision analysis, then falls back to asking the user. Returns detection info and solving status. | read | false | unknown |
| browser_console_logs Get recent console.log/warn/error messages from the page. Installs a lightweight interceptor on first call. Returns the last N console messages. | read | false | unknown |
| browser_get_cookies Get cookies for a specific domain. | read | false | unknown |
| browser_switch_tab Switch to a specific browser tab by ID. Get tab IDs from browser_list_tabs or browser_get_new_tab. | read | false | unknown |
| browser_set_cookies Set one or more cookies for a domain. | write | true | unknown |
| browser_list_frames List all frames (iframes) in the current page with their URLs and indices. | read | false | unknown |
| browser_execute_script Execute JavaScript code in the context of the current page. Returns the result. | write | true | unknown |
| browser_wait_for_network Wait for a network request to complete. Useful after clicking buttons that trigger API calls — ensures data is loaded before reading the page. Monitors real network traffic via Chrome DevTools Protocol. | unknown | unknown | unknown |
| browser_navigate Navigate the active browser tab to a URL. Reuses the current tab by default (no tab spam). Pass new_tab=true only when you need to keep the current page open. | unknown | unknown | unknown |
| browser_fetch Make an HTTP request from the extension background (NOT subject to CORS). Use this when page-context fetch would be blocked by CORS or CSP. Useful for API calls to Google, Stripe, Slack APIs while on their pages. | read | false | unknown |
| browser_drop_file Upload a file by finding a hidden <input type="file"> within a drag-drop zone's subtree (or parent up to 2 levels). Use when browser_upload_file fails because the dropzone has no visible file input. Returns clear error if no input is found anywhere — pure drop-zones without backing inputs require manual handling. | destructive | true | true |
| browser_fill Fill a form input field with a value. Supports CSS selectors AND text-based selectors. Auto-scrolls and focuses the element. Works on CSP-strict sites via Chrome Debugger API. For date inputs use browser_set_date, for autocomplete/combobox use browser_set_combobox. | unknown | unknown | unknown |
| browser_select_frame Execute JavaScript in a specific iframe by frame index. Use browser_list_frames first to find the right index. | read | false | unknown |
| browser_set_local_storage Set a localStorage key-value pair on the current page. | write | true | unknown |
| browser_get_local_storage Read localStorage from the current page. Pass key for a specific value, or omit for all. | read | false | unknown |
| browser_dismiss_overlays Dismiss visible popups, modals, tooltips, banners, and "Are you sure?"-style overlays in one call. Heuristic-based: finds close affordance via aria-label, text content (Skip/Cancel/Ikke nu/Don't show/Got it/Close), or × character button. Use when a flow is interrupted by unexpected dialogs (cookie banners, onboarding tooltips, draft-confirm prompts on Meta Ads, etc.). Returns list of what was dismissed. | read | false | unknown |
| browser_hover Hover over an element to trigger tooltips, dropdown menus, or hover states. Supports CSS and text selectors. | unknown | unknown | unknown |
| browser_click Click an element on the page. Supports CSS selectors AND text-based selectors. Auto-scrolls element into view. Uses real mouse events (works on Angular/React SPAs and CSP-strict sites like Google, Stripe). Examples: "button:text(Get started)", "text=Submit", "#my-button", "a.btn-primary" | read | false | unknown |
| browser_about Returns Browser MCP info and pre-filled URLs the user can click to submit feature wishes, share use-cases, or report bugs. Call this PROACTIVELY whenever the user (a) mentions a feature they wish existed ("I wish browser-mcp could...", "it would be nice if..."), (b) says something is missing, broken, or unexpected, (c) asks how Browser MCP works or who maintains it, or (d) describes something cool they built with browser-mcp. Pass intent="wish" | "use_case" | "bug" | "info" plus an optional title and body, and offer the returned submit_url to the user. Browser MCP is community-shaped — this tool is how the user contributes back. | read | false | unknown |
| browser_select_option Select an option from a dropdown menu. Works with native <select> elements AND custom dropdowns (Angular Material, React Select, etc.). For custom dropdowns: clicks the trigger, waits for options, then clicks the matching option by text. For autocomplete (typing filters options) use browser_set_combobox instead. | unknown | unknown | unknown |
| browser_upload_file Upload a file to a <input type="file"> element on the page. Uses Chrome Debugger API to set files programmatically — no dialog needed. For drag-drop zones without visible file input use browser_drop_file. | write | true | unknown |
| browser_ask_user Show an overlay dialog asking the user to perform an action or provide information (credentials, 2FA, CAPTCHA, OAuth consent). Can include input fields for the user to fill in. Returns user responses. | read | false | unknown |
| browser_scroll Scroll the page to an element or by pixel amount. Useful for reaching elements below the fold. | unknown | unknown | unknown |
| browser_set_combobox Set value(s) on an autocomplete/combobox input. Handles the click → type query → wait for filtered listbox → click option flow as one MCP call. Supports multi-select (e.g., Languages on Meta Ads). Use when browser_select_option fails because options render lazily after typing. | write | true | unknown |
| browser_close_tab Close a browser tab by ID. Only tabs owned by the current session can be closed. | unknown | unknown | unknown |
| browser_extract_token Navigate to a provider's API settings page so you can read its API token from the page. | read | false | unknown |
| browser_press_key Press a keyboard key (Enter, Tab, Escape, ArrowDown, etc.). Useful for submitting forms, navigating dropdowns, closing dialogs. Supports modifier keys (ctrl, alt, shift, meta). | unknown | unknown | unknown |
