From the repository

Install the server globally via npx real-browser-mcp and install the companion Chrome extension from the Chrome Web Store. No further configuration is needed to start controlling your browser with AI agent prompts.

`browser_navigate`

Navigate to a URL in the active browser tab

`browser_click`

Click an element on the page using a ref from snapshot or a CSS selector

`browser_type`

Type text into an input element

`browser_scroll`

Scroll the page or an element. Supports pixel offsets, scrolling to elements, and named positions (top/bottom). Works with virtual scroll containers used by social media sites.

`browser_press_key`

Press a keyboard key or combination (Enter, Escape, Tab, ArrowDown, etc). Supports modifiers like Ctrl+A, Cmd+C.

`browser_wait`

Wait for a condition: element to appear, element to disappear, or a fixed delay. Useful for SPAs and dynamic content.

`browser_snapshot`

Get an accessibility tree snapshot of the page. Returns element refs you can use with click, type, and other tools. Use compact mode (default) for smaller output - only interactive elements.

`browser_screenshot`

Capture a screenshot of the visible page area

`browser_console`

Read console messages (log, warn, error) from the browser

`browser_network`

Read network requests made by the page. Filter by URL pattern.

`browser_tabs`

Manage browser tabs: list, create, close, or focus

`browser_find`

Find elements on the page using natural language (e.g. "login button", "search input"). Returns refs you can use with click/type.

`browser_text`

Extract raw text content from the page or a specific element

`browser_hover`

Hover over an element to trigger tooltips, dropdown menus, or hover states

`browser_select`

Select an option from a dropdown/select element

`browser_evaluate`

Execute JavaScript in the page and return the result. Use for DOM queries, reading page state, or any operation not covered by other tools.

`browser_click_text`

Click an element by its visible text content. Works on React dropdowns, portals, and overlays that may not appear in snapshots. CSP-safe (no eval). Prefers deepest matching element.

`browser_handle_dialog`

Handle JavaScript dialogs (alert, confirm, prompt). Dialogs block page interaction until handled.

Claude Desktop / Cursor

Paste into your MCP client config file to install this server.

Real Browser MCP

Give your AI agent eyes on your real browser. MCP server + Chrome extension that lets AI coding agents (Cursor, Claude, Windsurf) interact with your actual browser — the one you already have open with all your sessions, logins, and cookies.

Why?

Features

- Navigate, click, type, scroll, take screenshots - Read page text and accessibility snapshots - Execute JavaScript in page context - Handle dialogs, monitor console and network - Manage tabs
