About Browserbase MCP Server
Connect your AI agent to Browserbase — the serverless platform for running headless cloud browsers at scale.
The Vercel AI SDK gives every Browserbase tool full TypeScript type inference, IDE autocomplete, and compile-time error checking. Connect 4 tools through Vinkius and stream results progressively to React, Svelte, or Vue components. works on Edge Functions, Cloudflare Workers, and any Node.js runtime.
What you can do
- Create Sessions — Spin up isolated Chromium browser sessions in the cloud. Each session returns a CDP (Chrome DevTools Protocol) WebSocket URL for connecting Playwright, Puppeteer, or Selenium
- List Sessions — Monitor all active, completed, or errored browser sessions across your account
- Get Session Details — Check status, connection URLs, pages visited, and duration of any session
- Stop Sessions — Terminate running sessions to free resources
The Browserbase MCP Server exposes 4 tools through the Vinkius. Connect it to Vercel AI SDK in under two minutes — no API keys to rotate, no infrastructure to provision, no vendor lock-in. Your configuration, your data, your control.
