About browserless/browserless-mcp

Official MCP server for Browserless.io, written in TypeScript. It connects MCP-compatible clients to Browserless.io's browser automation APIs, allowing agents to trigger headless browser tasks. The project is maintained as part of the Browserless ecosystem.

Best for

Developers already using Browserless.io who want to drive it from MCP-compatible AI tools.

Use cases

Connect Claude or other MCP clients to Browserless.io
Expose browser automation workflows to AI agents
Trigger headless browser operations through MCP tools

Notes

7 stars on GitHub. Last updated 2026-09-03.

Pros

Official integration, so it tracks Browserless.io's API
Uses the standard MCP protocol for broad client compatibility
TypeScript codebase for familiar tooling

Cons

Requires access to a Browserless.io instance or account
Very early project with only 7 GitHub stars, so adoption is low
Documentation and examples may be limited at this stage
