Browserbase MCP. Run any web interaction, no matter how complex.
Gemini Works with every AI agent you already use
…and any MCP-compatible client
Just plug in your AI agents and start using Vinkius.
Browserbase handles the heavy lifting of web automation for your AI agents. It gives them access to isolated, cloud-hosted Chromium sessions, letting them interact with any website as if a human were on it.
You can run complex tasks like logging into protected sites, filling out forms, or scraping content that only loads via JavaScript.
This MCP is the bridge that turns an abstract plan from your agent into real web actions.

The manual grind of data collection
Today, collecting dynamic information means opening dozens of tabs, logging into multiple systems, and manually clicking through every page to copy what you need. You're constantly switching between the dashboard, the search results, and your spreadsheet, all while hoping nothing breaks or changes.
With this MCP, your agent handles it all. It launches a virtual browser that performs the entire click-through process autonomously. The result is clean data extracted directly into your workflow, skipping every manual copy/paste step.
Browser Session Control
You no longer have to worry about resource cleanup or knowing the exact status of a running job. If you need to check what's happening, you simply use `list_browser_sessions` to see all active threads at a glance.
What changes is that your entire automation runs as one predictable process: start the session, perform the work, and cleanly stop it—all managed by the agent.
What you can do with this MCP connector
Your AI agent needs to see the internet, not just a static API response. This connector gives it a full browser environment—a headless Chromium session running in the cloud. It lets your agent perform anything a person can do: click buttons, navigate complex single-page applications (SPAs), and execute JavaScript required to load content.
Need to scrape data that requires a login? Start a session with create_browser_session, have your agent interact with the site, and then extract what it needs. This is key for any workflow where simple API calls won't cut it.
When you build complex automations, this MCP shines. If your process involves scraping data from a website, sending that data to a CRM through another MCP, and then logging the whole thing in an accounting system, you can chain those services together using Vinkius. You connect once to your preferred AI client—Claude, Cursor, or Windsurf—and it handles the entire sequence.
The platform manages all the infrastructure, updates, and security patches so you don't have to worry about uptime or scaling.

How Browserbase MCP Works
- 1 First, your agent calls
create_browser_sessionto spin up a dedicated, isolated browser instance. - 2 Next, the agent uses the returned connection URL (a WebSocket endpoint) with an automation framework like Playwright or Puppeteer to programmatically control the browser.
- 3 Finally, when done, the agent must call
stop_browser_sessionusing the session ID to ensure resources are released.
The bottom line is: you start a session, use it for web interaction, and then explicitly stop it. That's that.
Who Is Browserbase MCP For?
This MCP solves the problem of data residing behind browser walls. It’s for developers who can't rely on simple APIs because the information is hidden in JavaScript, or QA engineers who need to test user flows exactly like a real person would.
Uses this MCP to bypass anti-bot measures and extract data from websites that require complex navigation or JS rendering.
Runs end-to-end browser tests at scale, simulating user clicks and form submissions without needing local infrastructure.
Integrates real web browsing into an agent's toolkit so it can plan interactions across multiple platforms (e.g., checking a site, then logging the result).
What Changes When You Connect
- Bypass JavaScript barriers: You can scrape content that only loads after the browser runs its code. This isn't possible with basic API calls.
- Manage state explicitly: Use
create_browser_sessionto start a clean environment andstop_browser_sessionwhen you're done, preventing resource leaks. - Monitor performance: The
list_browser_sessionstool lets you check the status of all sessions, making debugging runaway automations simple. - Full visibility into session data: You can use
get_browser_sessionto pull back details like how many pages were visited or how long the process took. - Build multi-step workflows: Combine this MCP with a messaging tool and a database tool. Your agent can scrape content, then send it via Slack, all in one chain.
Real-World Use Cases
Checking for Outdated Product Data
A QA engineer needs to verify if the product listing page still correctly shows current pricing and availability. They use create_browser_session to log in, navigate to 10 different SKUs, and scrape the final price element using a browser automation framework.
Analyzing Competitor Websites
A market researcher needs to see what content appears after a specific sequence of clicks (e.g., clicking 'View Details' then scrolling down). They run create_browser_session and instruct the agent to perform the click path, capturing all dynamic text.
Testing Form Submission Flows
A developer needs to ensure a multi-step account sign-up form works correctly. The agent uses create_browser_session and programmatically fills out every field, verifying that the final submission endpoint is reached.
Debugging Stale Sessions
An automation job fails halfway through because a session hung up. The ops team runs list_browser_sessions, finds the stuck ID, and uses stop_browser_session to cleanly terminate it before restarting.
The Tradeoffs
Assuming persistence
Calling an agent to start a session using create_browser_session, then letting the script end without calling anything else. The resources remain active and cost money.
→
You must pair every call to create_browser_session with a corresponding stop_browser_session. If you need to check its status later, use get_browser_session first.
Over-relying on APIs
Trying to scrape data from an internal dashboard that only shows results after a user clicks a button and waits for the JS widget to load. Simple API calls will fail because they miss this crucial front-end step.
→
Use create_browser_session. The browser environment handles the click, waiting, and JavaScript execution needed to make the data visible.
Ignoring session status
Running a job that fails mysteriously. You don't know if the failure was due to bad code or because an old session ID is already invalid.
→
Before running, use list_browser_sessions to confirm your active sessions are clean. If you suspect an ID is wrong, use get_browser_session first to verify its status.
When It Fits, When It Doesn't
Use this MCP if the data you need exists behind a graphical user interface (GUI) or requires JavaScript execution. Think: any website that needs a login form filled out, or content loaded by AJAX calls—that's your signal to use this connector.
Do NOT use it if all you need is simple structured data available via a standard REST API endpoint (e.g., getting a list of users). If the entire interaction can be reduced to a few HTTP GET/POST requests, stick with dedicated API MCPs; they'll be faster and cheaper than spinning up an entire browser.
However, if your process involves multiple stages—like scraping data from Site A (using this MCP), then sending that list of IDs via a messaging tool MCP, and finally logging the message receipt in a database MCP—then this is absolutely necessary. It's the starting point for web-based automation chains.
Common Questions About Browserbase MCP
How do I use create_browser_session with my Playwright script? +
You call create_browser_session first to get the WebSocket URL. Then, you pass that specific connection URL directly into your Playwright client setup code for control.
If I use list_browser_sessions, will it show me historical data? +
No, list_browser_sessions shows the current state of sessions—those that are running or those that have recently completed. You need to check session details for older records.
Is it safe to stop a browser session with stop_browser_session? +
Yes, calling stop_browser_session is the required final step. It ensures that the cloud resources are properly terminated and you don't incur unnecessary costs.
Can I use get_browser_session to check if my script worked? +
Yes, get_browser_session allows you to query the session ID for its status. This is useful for debugging or confirming that a previous step actually finished successfully.
How do I use list_browser_sessions to check for failed automation attempts? +
You filter by the 'ERROR' status when listing sessions. This helps you quickly pinpoint exactly where your web scraping or automated workflow broke down, minimizing debugging time.
Does create_browser_session guarantee that each browser session is isolated from others? +
Yes, every session runs in its own dedicated Chromium instance within a secure sandbox. One session's actions or data never bleed into another session’s context.
What vital information should I get before using stop_browser_session? +
Use get_browser_session first to retrieve the complete history, including all pages visited and the total duration. This confirms you have captured every needed data point before terminating.
How can I manage resource consumption when calling create_browser_session? +
Monitor the session lifecycle using get_browser_session to track run times. Keeping sessions short and focused minimizes cost and prevents unnecessary resource drain.
