Perplexity

Launch browser sessions directly in Cursor

Call `create_browser_session` to spin up a Chromium instance that your agent can manipulate. This integration allows Cursor to interact with websites as if it were a human user. By getting a CDP WebSocket URL, you can write code that controls the browser in real-time. It bridges the gap between your editor and the live web.

Track Browserbase jobs within Cursor

Query your current infrastructure using `list_browser_sessions` to see what is running. It helps you keep an eye on active automation jobs while you write code. If you need to verify a specific process, `get_browser_session` provides the metadata for that ID. You stay informed without switching windows.

Terminate browser tasks from Cursor

Use `stop_browser_session` to kill any process that is no longer needed. It is the fastest way to clean up resources without leaving your IDE. Executing this tool immediately halts the session. It keeps your development environment focused and your cloud costs low.

Setup guide

Set up Browserbase MCP in Cursor

Prerequisites

Cursor installed (macOS, Windows, or Linux)
Active Vinkius subscription with a valid endpoint token

1

Open MCP Settings

Go to Cursor Settings → MCP or open the Command Palette (Cmd+Shift+P / Ctrl+Shift+P) and search for "MCP: Add Server".
2

Add the Browserbase MCP

Cursor will create or open .cursor/mcp.json in your project root. Paste the JSON snippet on the right. Replace [YOUR_TOKEN_HERE] with your endpoint token from cloud.vinkius.com.
3

Enable Agent mode

Open Composer (Cmd+I / Ctrl+I) and switch to Agent mode using the dropdown at the top. MCP tools are only available in Agent mode.
4

Verify the connection

Ask Cursor something like "List my recent Browserbase transactions." If the MCP tools are loaded correctly, Cursor will call the Browserbase tools automatically. You can also check Settings → MCP for a green status indicator.

.cursor/mcp.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "browserbase-mcp": {
      "url": "https://edge.vinkius.com/[YOUR_TOKEN_HERE]/mcp"
    }
