​
Overview

The Browserbase MCP Server brings powerful browser automation capabilities to Claude through the Model Context Protocol (MCP). Built on top of Stagehand, this integration provides AI-powered web automation using natural language commands.
This server enables Claude to control browsers, navigate websites, interact with web elements, and extract data—all through simple conversational commands.
Two Ways to Use MCP:
  1. Browserbase MCP Server: Provides browser automation tools to Claude Desktop and other MCP clients
  2. MCP Integrations in Stagehand: Add external tools (like Exa search, Supabase) to Stagehand agents
This documentation covers the Browserbase MCP Server. For using MCP integrations within Stagehand agents, see MCP Integrations.
