Control remote browsers in AutoGen

Your agents can trigger `create_browser_session` to grab a CDP WebSocket URL instantly. This lets your AutoGen setup drive a real, headless Chromium instance in the cloud rather than relying on brittle local browser installs. Once the connection is live, your agents point their automation scripts at the provided URL. You get full control over the session without worrying about environment drift or local resource bottlenecks.

Manage active sessions via AutoGen

Keep tabs on your automation tasks by using `list_browser_sessions` to filter by status. You can check which agents have sessions currently running and which ones hit an error state. Use `get_browser_session` to pull specific details when an agent needs to confirm a session ID. It keeps your multi-agent architecture synced with the actual browser infrastructure.

Kill browser tasks from AutoGen

Stop runaway processes immediately with `stop_browser_session` when an agent finishes its work. This prevents unnecessary cloud costs and cleans up your environment. Keep in mind that calling this tool wipes any unsaved state inside the browser. Your agents should wrap up their data collection before they send the kill command.

Setup guide

Set up Browserbase MCP in AutoGen

Prerequisites

Python 3.10+ installed
autogen-ext[mcp] package
Active Vinkius subscription with a valid endpoint token

1

Install AutoGen with MCP
Run pip install "autogen-ext[mcp]" autogen-agentchat. The MCP extension includes mcp_server_tools for stateless tool access.
2

Fetch tools from the MCP
Call mcp_server_tools(SseServerParams(url=...)) with your Vinkius endpoint. Replace [YOUR_TOKEN_HERE] with your token from cloud.vinkius.com.
3

Run your agent
Pass the tools to AssistantAgent and call agent.run(). The agent invokes Browserbase tools and returns structured results.

agent.py

from autogen_ext.tools.mcp import SseServerParams, mcp_server_tools
from autogen_agentchat.agents import AssistantAgent
from autogen_ext.models.openai import OpenAIChatCompletionClient

server_params = SseServerParams(
    url="https://edge.vinkius.com/[YOUR_TOKEN_HERE]/mcp"
)

tools = await mcp_server_tools(server_params)

agent = AssistantAgent(
    name="Browserbase_assistant",
    model_client=OpenAIChatCompletionClient(model="gpt-4o"),
    tools=tools,
)

result = await agent.run("List recent Browserbase data")
print(result.messages[-1].content)

Prerequisites

Python 3.10+ installed
autogen-ext[mcp] + autogen-agentchat
Active Vinkius subscription with a valid endpoint token

1

Install dependencies
Same packages as above. McpWorkbench is ideal when your agent needs stateful sessions across multiple tool calls.
2

Use McpWorkbench as context manager
Wrap your agent in async with McpWorkbench(...) to maintain shared state and resources. The workbench manages the full MCP session lifecycle.
3

Run with workbench
Pass workbench=workbench to your agent. State is preserved across multiple tool calls within the same session.

agent.py

from autogen_ext.tools.mcp import McpWorkbench, SseServerParams
from autogen_agentchat.agents import AssistantAgent
from autogen_ext.models.openai import OpenAIChatCompletionClient

server_params = SseServerParams(
    url="https://edge.vinkius.com/[YOUR_TOKEN_HERE]/mcp"
)

async with McpWorkbench(server_params) as workbench:
    agent = AssistantAgent(
        name="Browserbase_assistant",
        model_client=OpenAIChatCompletionClient(model="gpt-4o"),
        workbench=workbench,
    )

    result = await agent.run("List recent Browserbase data")
    print(result.messages[-1].content)

Common questions about Browserbase MCP in AutoGen

You hook the MCP server into your agent's tool set during initialization. Once connected, the agents can call Browserbase tools to spin up sessions and navigate pages as part of their debate logic.

Browserbase provides specialized infrastructure designed to handle common anti-bot hurdles. Your AutoGen agents leverage this by offloading the heavy lifting of browser fingerprint management to the cloud.

The default session timeout is 300 seconds. If your agents take longer than that to reach a consensus, you'll need to manage session lifecycle via the available tools.

Vinkius handles the underlying server authentication so your keys aren't exposed in your agent code. You only interact with the managed endpoint provided by the platform.

Browserbase captures raw HTML, screenshots, and console logs from your target websites. These ephemeral sessions are isolated within the Vinkius sandbox, ensuring your agent-specific interactions remain private.
