How to Use the Browserbase MCP in Cline

Q: Can Cline run multiple Browserbase sessions at once?

Yes. Cline can call createbrowsersession multiple times to run concurrent scraping or testing tasks in separate cloud containers.

Let Cline launch, control, and scrape headless cloud browsers directly from VS Code using Browserbase.

Execute end-to-end web automation with Cline

The `create_browser_session` tool lets Cline launch a remote Chromium session in the cloud. Instead of running heavy browsers locally, your agent gets a CDP WebSocket URL to drive automation via Playwright. Cline writes the script, hooks it to the WebSocket, and runs it. If you need to scrape a dynamic site or test a UI, Cline does the entire job from VS Code without bothering you for input.

Track live browser status inside your IDE

Using `get_browser_session`, Cline monitors active automation runs to ensure nothing gets stuck. It checks the live state of the remote container and handles errors if the page fails to load. If a run hangs, Cline reads the session diagnostics. This feedback loop lets the agent debug its own automation scripts on the fly before reporting back.

Clean up cloud resources using the Browserbase MCP Server

The `stop_browser_session` tool shuts down active Chromium instances immediately after Cline completes a task. This prevents orphaned cloud browsers from running up your usage costs. To keep things organized, Cline uses `list_browser_sessions` to check all current runs. It filters by RUNNING or ERROR status to identify and terminate stale containers.

Common questions about Browserbase MCP in Cline

Open the Cline sidebar and click the MCP Servers icon. You can add the server using the Remote Servers tab with your connection URL, or paste the configuration directly into your `cline_mcp_settings.json` file.

Yes. Cline can call `create_browser_session` multiple times to run concurrent scraping or testing tasks in separate cloud containers.

Local headless browsers consume massive CPU and get blocked by bot detection. Running this MCP Server offloads the processing to the cloud and bypasses IP blocks.

Every cloud session has a default 300-second timeout. Cline must complete its scraping or testing steps within this window, or it will need to spin up a new session.

The server only exchanges CDP WebSocket URLs, session metadata, and status logs. Your actual DOM snapshots and browser traffic remain secured within the ephemeral cloud sandbox.
