About Browserbase MCP Server
Connect your AI agent to Browserbase — the serverless platform for running headless cloud browsers at scale.
Cline operates autonomously inside VS Code — it reads your codebase, plans a strategy, and executes multi-step tasks including Browserbase tool calls without waiting for prompts between steps. Connect 4 tools through the Vinkius and Cline can fetch data, generate code, and commit changes in a single autonomous run.
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
