How to Use the Browserless MCP in Cursor

Q: Can I use Browserless to debug frontend UI directly inside Cursor?

Yes. Your Cursor agent uses takescreenshot to capture the current state of any URL and analyze the layout visual bugs without you opening a separate browser.

Q: How do I check if my browser instance is running?

The agent uses checksystemhealth to verify the connection status of the remote browser. It ensures your scraping pipelines are online before executing heavy code blocks.

Feed live, fully rendered web data and screenshots directly into your Cursor agent to write code with real-world context.

Direct web data ingestion in Cursor

The `get_page_content` tool pulls fully rendered HTML from complex single-page apps directly into your Cursor editor. Your agent uses this live DOM structure to generate scraping selectors that actually work on the first try. Instead of guessing class names from outdated docs, the agent uses this MCP tool to run `run_scrape` and test selectors live. You get working, production-ready parsing code written against real-time web structures.

Visual UI testing inside the editor

The `take_screenshot` tool captures high-resolution images of your web app and feeds them to the Cursor chat. Your agent instantly reviews the layout to spot broken CSS or misaligned elements. To document layout states, the agent calls `generate_pdf` to print pixel-perfect sheets. It links these visual assets directly to your workspace files for fast reference.

Real-time resource control for this MCP Server

The `get_usage_stats` tool monitors your active API consumption directly within your development environment. This keeps your automated testing runs from unexpectedly hitting billing caps. When debugging parallel browser runs, your agent uses `list_active_sessions` to identify hung connections. It keeps your workspace clean by tracking down runaway processes.

Setup guide

Set up Browserless 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 Browserless 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 Browserless transactions." If the MCP tools are loaded correctly, Cursor will call the Browserless tools automatically. You can also check Settings → MCP for a green status indicator.
