Analytical workflows: chain Browse AI queries with LlamaIndex's data connectors to build multi-source analytical reports
Browse AI MCP Tools for LlamaIndex (10)
These 10 tools become available when you connect Browse AI to LlamaIndex via MCP:
download_bulk_data
Returns a JSON array where each element contains the capturedData from one task. Download all extracted results from a completed Browse AI bulk run
get_bulk_task
Get bulk task execution status from Browse AI
get_robot
Get detailed configuration of a specific Browse AI robot
get_task
Check the status of a specific Browse AI extraction task
get_task_data
Only meaningful when the task status is "successful". Fields match the column names configured in the Browse AI robot builder hitting internal task references. Retrieve the final extracted JSON data from a successful Browse AI task
list_credits
Check Browse AI quota limits and credit usage
list_monitors
Monitors run on scheduled intervals to detect changes on target web pages and trigger notifications or data captures automatically via `/monitors`. List all active Browse AI web monitoring robots
list_robots
Each robot represents a no-code AI scraping workflow targeting a specific website or data pattern via `GET /robots`. List all Browse AI extraction and monitoring robots
run_bulk_task
Each set typically contains a different "originUrl". All extractions run concurrently on Browse AI infrastructure. Run a Browse AI robot in bulk mode across multiple URLs
run_robot
Pass a JSON string of input parameters (typically including "originUrl" for the target page and any variable fields the robot expects). Returns a taskId. Trigger a Browse AI robot to extract data from a target URL
Example Prompts for Browse AI in LlamaIndex
Ready-to-use prompts you can give your LlamaIndex agent to start working with Browse AI immediately.
"List all my robots. Which ones are built for monitoring?"
"Run my HackerNews Scraper robot on the main page."
"Retrieve the JSON data for task t-78ab31."
