# browser-use MCP server
[](https://docs.browser-use.com)
[](LICENSE)
> **Project Note**: This MCP server implementation builds upon the [browser-use/web-ui](https://github.com/browser-use/web-ui) foundation. Core browser automation logic and configuration patterns are adapted from the original project.
AI-driven browser automation server implementing the Model Context Protocol (MCP) for natural language browser control.

## Features
- 🧠 **MCP Integration** - Full protocol implementation for AI agent communication
- 🌐 **Browser Automation** - Page navigation, form filling, and element interaction
- 👁️ **Visual Understanding** - Screenshot analysis and vision-based interactions
- 🔄 **State Persistence** - Maintain browser sessions between tasks
- 🔌 **Multi-LLM Support** - OpenAI, Anthropic, Azure, DeepSeek integration
## Quick Start
### Prerequisites
- Python 3.11 or higher
- uv (fast Python package installer)
- Chrome/Chromium browser
### Installation

### Local Development
```json
"browser-use": {
"command": "uv",
"args": [
"--directory",
"/path/to/mcp-browser-use",
"run",
"mcp-server-browser-use"
],
"env": {
...
}
}
```
## Development
```bash
# Install dev dependencies
uv sync
# Run with debugger
npx @modelcontextprotocol/inspector uv --directory . run mcp-server-browser-use
```
## Troubleshooting
- **Browser Conflicts**: Close all Chrome instances before starting.
- **API Errors**: Verify API keys in environment variables match your LLM provider.
- **Vision Support**: Ensure `MCP_USE_VISION=true` for screenshot analysis.
## Provider Configuration
The server supports multiple LLM providers through environment variables. Here are the available options for `MCP_MODEL_PROVIDER`:
| Provider | Value | Required Env Variables |
|----------|--------|----------------------|
| Anthropic | `anthropic` | `ANTHROPIC_API_KEY`<br>`ANTHROPIC_ENDPOINT` (optional) |
| OpenAI | `openai` | `OPENAI_API_KEY`<br>`OPENAI_ENDPOINT` (optional) |
| Azure OpenAI | `azure_openai` | `AZURE_OPENAI_API_KEY`<br>`AZURE_OPENAI_ENDPOINT` |
| DeepSeek | `deepseek` | `DEEPSEEK_API_KEY`<br>`DEEPSEEK_ENDPOINT` (optional) |
| Gemini | `gemini` | `GOOGLE_API_KEY` |
| Mistral | `mistral` | `MISTRAL_API_KEY`<br>`MISTRAL_ENDPOINT` (optional) |
| Ollama | `ollama` | `OLLAMA_ENDPOINT` (optional, defaults to localhost:11434) |
| OpenRouter | `openrouter` | `OPENROUTER_API_KEY`<br>`OPENROUTER_ENDPOINT` (optional) |
### Notes:
- For endpoints marked as optional, default values will be used if not specified
- Temperature can be configured using `MCP_TEMPERATURE` (default: 0.3)
- Model can be specified using `MCP_MODEL_NAME`
- For Ollama models, additional context settings like `num_ctx` and `num_predict` are configurable
