How to Use the Browse AI MCP in Cline

Q: How does Cline verify my Browse AI account limits?

Cline runs getusagequotas to check your remaining credit balance before initiating any expensive scraping runs. This keeps you from running out of credits mid-task.

Let Cline extract structured web data and generate local code files directly from your Browse AI robots.

Cline builds VS Code files from Browse AI data

This Browse AI MCP Server connects your scraping robots directly to Cline's file-writing capabilities. Cline triggers a job with `trigger_robot_run` and waits for the extraction to finish. Once `get_run_status` reports success, Cline reads the JSON payload, creates a new file in your VS Code workspace, and writes custom components to display the data.

Audit scraping history without leaving VS Code

This Browse AI MCP Server exposes your historical extraction logs to Cline. The agent runs `list_robot_history` to inspect past scraping successes and failures. If Cline detects a failed run, it calls `get_robot_details` to check the configuration of that specific robot. It then suggests updates to your extraction selectors based on the logged errors.

Manage bulk extraction tasks via Cline

This Browse AI MCP Server enables Cline to handle large-scale data extraction jobs. Cline calls `list_bulk_operations` to monitor multiple parallel scraping tasks simultaneously. You can instruct Cline to run a batch job. The agent coordinates the execution and presents a clean progress report in your VS Code sidebar.
