[Install MCP Server] [Install in VS Code] [Install in VS Code Insiders]

A fast, lightweight Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that empowers LLMs with browser automation via Puppeteer’s structured accessibility data, featuring optional vision mode for complex visual understanding and flexible, cross-platform configuration.

Key Features

• ⚡ Fast & lightweight. Utilizes Puppeteer's label index, not pixel-based input and accessibility DOM tree.
• 👁️ Vision Mode Support. Optional visual understanding capabilities for complex layouts and visual elements when structured data isn't sufficient.
• 🤖 LLM-optimized. No vision models needed, operates purely on structured data, less context reducing context token usage.
• 🧩 Flexible Runtime Configuration. Customize viewport size, coordinate system factors, and User-Agent at runtime via HTTP headers.
• 🌐 Cross-Platform & Extensible. Support for remote and local browsers, the use of a custom browser engine.

Requirements

• Node.js 18 or newer
• VS Code, Cursor, Windsurf, Claude Desktop or any other MCP client

Getting started

Local (Stdio)

First, install the Browser MCP server with your client. A typical configuration looks like this:

{  "mcpServers": {    "browser": {      "command": "npx",      "args": [        "@agent-infra/mcp-server-browser@latest"      ]    }  }}

# For VS Codecode --add-mcp '{"name":"browser","command":"npx","args":["@agent-infra/mcp-server-browser@latest"]}'

{  "mcpServers": {    "browser": {      "command": "npx",      "args": [        "@agent-infra/mcp-server-browser@latest"      ]    }  }}

{  "mcpServers": {    "browser": {      "command": "npx",      "args": [        "@agent-infra/mcp-server-browser@latest"      ]    }  }}

{  "mcpServers": {    "browser": {      "command": "npx",      "args": [        "@agent-infra/mcp-server-browser@latest"      ]    }  }}

Remote (SSE / Streamable HTTP)

At the same time, use --port $your_port arg to start the browser mcp can be converted into SSE and Streamable HTTP Server.

# normal run remote mcp servernpx @agent-infra/mcp-server-browser --port 8089
# run with DISPLAY environment for VNC or other virtual displayDISPLAY=:0 npx @agent-infra/mcp-server-browser --port 8089

You can use one of the two MCP Server remote endpoint:

• Streamable HTTP(Recommended): http://127.0.0.1::8089/mcp
• SSE: http://127.0.0.1::8089/sse

And then in MCP client config, set the url to the SSE endpoint:

{  "mcpServers": {    "browser": {      "url": "http://127.0.0.1::8089/sse"    }  }}

url to the Streamable HTTP:

{  "mcpServers": {    "browser": {      "type": "streamable-http", // If there is MCP Client support      "url": "http://127.0.0.1::8089/mcp"    }  }}

In-memory call

If your MCP Client is developed based on JavaScript / TypeScript, you can directly use in-process calls to avoid requiring your users to install the command-line interface to use Browser MCP.

import { Client } from '@modelcontextprotocol/sdk/client/index.js';import { InMemoryTransport } from '@modelcontextprotocol/sdk/inMemory.js';
// type: module project usageimport { createServer } from '@agent-infra/mcp-server-browser';// commonjs project usage// const { createServer } = await import('@agent-infra/mcp-server-browser')
const client = new Client(  {    name: 'test browser client',    version: '1.0',  },  {    capabilities: {},  },);
const server = createServer();const [clientTransport, serverTransport] = InMemoryTransport.createLinkedPair();
await Promise.all([  client.connect(clientTransport),  server.connect(serverTransport),]);
// list toolsconst result = await client.listTools();console.log(result);
// call toolconst toolResult = await client.callTool({  name: 'browser_navigate',  arguments: {    url: 'https://www.google.com',  },});console.log(toolResult);

Configuration

Browser MCP server supports following arguments. They can be provided in the JSON configuration above, as a part of the "args" list:

> npx @agent-infra/mcp-server-browser@latest -h  -V, --version              output the version number  --browser <browser>        browser or chrome channel to use, possible values: chrome, edge, firefox.  --cdp-endpoint <endpoint>  CDP endpoint to connect to, for example "http://127.0.0.1:9222/json/version"  --ws-endpoint <endpoint>   WebSocket endpoint to connect to, for example "ws://127.0.0.1:9222/devtools/browser/{id}"  --executable-path <path>   path to the browser executable.  --headless                 run browser in headless mode, headed by default  --host <host>              host to bind server to. Default is localhost. Use 0.0.0.0 to bind to all interfaces.  --port <port>              port to listen on for SSE and HTTP transport.  --proxy-bypass <bypass>    comma-separated domains to bypass proxy, for example ".com,chromium.org,.domain.com"  --proxy-server <proxy>     specify proxy server, for example "http://myproxy:3128" or "socks5://myproxy:8080"  --user-agent <ua string>   specify user agent string  --user-data-dir <path>     path to the user data directory.  --viewport-size <size>     specify browser viewport size in pixels, for example "1280, 720"  --output-dir <path>        path to the directory for output files  --vision                   Run server that uses screenshots (Aria snapshots are used by default)  -h, --help                 display help for command

Runtime Configuration

The browser runtime requires configuration for Viewport Size, Vision Model Coordinate Factors, and User Agent. These can be passed through corresponding HTTP headers:

Note: Header names are case-insensitive.

Example:

x-viewport-size: 1920,1080x-vision-factors: 1.0,1.0x-user-agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64) AppleWebKit/537.36

Docker

We have unified the deployment of VNC and MCP under a single URL endpoint, The Dockerfile and DockerHub image will be published together! video
