What is the Browse AI MCP Server?
Connect your Browse AI account to any AI agent and take full control of your no-code web scraping and automated monitoring workflows through natural conversation.
What you can do
- Robot Orchestration — List and manage all web scraping robots in your account programmatically, retrieving detailed configuration and high-fidelity extraction history
- Automated Task Execution — Programmatically trigger new robot runs with custom parameters (e.g., origin URL) to coordinate high-fidelity data collection in real-time
- Website Monitoring Intelligence — Create and manage monitoring schedules to track changes on any website and maintain a perfectly coordinated data pipeline
- Event Architecture — Access and monitor robot webhooks for instant notifications and retrieve detailed log metadata directly through your agent
- Financial Visibility — Programmatically track your account subscription status and credit usage to coordinate your automated data quotas efficiently
How it works
- Subscribe to this server
- Retrieve your Secret API Key from your Browse AI dashboard (Account > API)

No more manual logging into the dashboard to check individual extraction tasks. Your AI acts as your dedicated data engineer and monitoring coordinator.
Who is this for?
- Market Researchers — instantly trigger price scraping and competitive monitoring using natural language commands
- Growth Marketers — automate lead generation from public directories and track site changes without leaving your workspace
- Developers — integrate high-speed no-code scraping data into custom workflows through simple AI queries

Frequently asked questions
How do I find my Browse AI Secret API Key?
Log in to your account, navigate to Account > API, and copy your Secret API Key.
Can I override the origin URL via AI?
Yes! The trigger_robot_run tool accepts a jsonInput parameter where you can provide an originUrl to override the robot's default settings.
How do I check my remaining credits?
Use the get_usage_quotas tool to retrieve information about your current subscription and remaining credits directly from the platform.
How does Claude Desktop discover MCP tools?
When Claude Desktop starts, it reads the claude_desktop_config.json file and connects to each configured MCP server. It calls the tools/list endpoint to fetch the schema for every available tool, then surfaces them as clickable options in the chat interface via the 🔌 icon.
What happens if the MCP server is temporarily unavailable?
Claude Desktop handles disconnections gracefully. if the server is unreachable at startup, the tools simply won't appear. Once the server becomes available again, restarting Claude Desktop will re-establish the connection. There is no timeout penalty or error loop.
Can I connect multiple MCP servers simultaneously?
Yes. You can add as many servers as you need in the mcpServers section of the config file. Each server appears as a separate tool provider, and Claude can use tools from multiple servers in a single conversation turn.
Is there a limit on the number of tools per server?
Claude Desktop can handle hundreds of tools per server. However, for optimal LLM performance, Vinkius servers are designed to expose focused, well-documented tool sets rather than overwhelming the model with too many options.
Does Claude Desktop support Streamable HTTP transport?
Yes. Claude Desktop supports both SSE (Server-Sent Events) and the newer Streamable HTTP transport that Vinkius uses. Simply provide the server URL. Claude auto-negotiates the transport protocol.
Server not appearing after restart
Ensure the JSON is valid (no trailing commas). Check the file path: ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json (macOS) or %APPDATA%\\Claude\\ (Windows).
Authentication error
Verify your Vinkius token is correct. Go to cloud.vinkius.com to regenerate it if needed.
Tools not showing in chat
Click the 🔌 icon at the bottom of the chat input. If it shows 0 tools, the server may still be connecting. wait a few seconds.
