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 operations through natural conversation.
What you can do
- Robot Discovery — List all your trained extraction and monitoring robots along with their configuration details
- Execute Scrapes — Trigger specific robots to run tasks on target URLs without lifting a finger
- Data Retrieval — Instantly download the final extracted JSON data from any successfully completed task
- Bulk Operations — Initiate multi-URL concurrent extractions and download the unified bulk datasets
- Monitor Sync — Check the status of your active web change monitors
- Quota Management — Retrieve your current API credits usage and monthly plan limits
How it works
- Subscribe to this server
- Enter your Browse AI Secret API Key
- Start fetching live data via Claude, Cursor, or any MCP-compatible client
No more manual downloads or periodic checks. Your AI agent serves as your pipeline to live web intelligence.
Who is this for?
- Data analysts — pull massive datasets from recent bulk tasks straight into your agent for immediate processing
- Marketers & SEO — execute scraping robots on competitor URLs to generate instant market reports
- Researchers — extract complex targeted metrics without opening any third-party dashboards
- Developers — verify robot configurations, monitor credit usage, and inspect JSON payloads rapidly
Built-in capabilities (10)
Returns a JSON array where each element contains the capturedData from one task. Download all extracted results from a completed Browse AI bulk run
Get bulk task execution status from Browse AI
Get detailed configuration of a specific Browse AI robot
Check the status of a specific Browse AI extraction task
Only meaningful when the task status is "successful". Fields match the column names configured in the Browse AI robot builder hitting internal task references. Retrieve the final extracted JSON data from a successful Browse AI task
Check Browse AI quota limits and credit usage
Monitors run on scheduled intervals to detect changes on target web pages and trigger notifications or data captures automatically via `/monitors`. List all active Browse AI web monitoring robots
Each robot represents a no-code AI scraping workflow targeting a specific website or data pattern via `GET /robots`. List all Browse AI extraction and monitoring robots
Each set typically contains a different "originUrl". All extractions run concurrently on Browse AI infrastructure. Run a Browse AI robot in bulk mode across multiple URLs
Pass a JSON string of input parameters (typically including "originUrl" for the target page and any variable fields the robot expects). Returns a taskId. Trigger a Browse AI robot to extract data from a target URL
Why VS Code Copilot?
GitHub Copilot Agent mode brings Browse AI data directly into your VS Code workflow. With a project-scoped config, the entire team shares access to 10 tools. Copilot queries live data, generates typed code, and writes tests from actual API responses, all without leaving the editor.
- —
VS Code is used by over 70% of developers. adding MCP tools to Copilot means your team can leverage external data without leaving their primary editor
- —
Project-scoped MCP configs (
.vscode/mcp.json) let you commit server configurations to your repository, ensuring the entire team shares the same tool access - —
Copilot's Agent mode integrates MCP tools seamlessly with file editing, terminal commands, and workspace search in a single agentic loop
- —
GitHub's enterprise compliance and audit features extend to MCP tool usage, providing visibility into how AI interacts with external services

Frequently asked questions
Can my AI start a data extraction and let me know when it finishes?
Yes! You can ask your agent to run_robot on a certain URL. The agent receives the newly created task ID and can immediately invoke get_task sequentially to poll for completion. Once successful, it calls get_task_data to dump the JSON right into your conversation without breaking workflow.
How do bulk operations work natively through the agent?
When you have a trained robot, you can feed the run_bulk_task command an array of different URLs. Browse AI's backend splits them virtually into independent task instances. Your agent tracks the bulk run via get_bulk_task and eventually pulls the mega JSON merge using download_bulk_data.
Is there a risk of my agent suddenly spending all my API credits?
You have complete visibility—the agent can query list_credits at any moment to inform you precisely of your available balance and monthly limit. Also, since tools execute your natural directives, your AI agent only triggers extractions you specifically prompt for.
Which VS Code version supports MCP?
MCP support requires VS Code 1.99 or later with the GitHub Copilot extension. Ensure both are updated to the latest version. Older versions of Copilot may not expose the Agent mode toggle.
How do I switch to Agent mode?
Open the Copilot Chat panel and look for two mode options: "Ask" and "Agent". Click "Agent" to enable autonomous tool calling. In Ask mode, Copilot provides conversational answers but cannot invoke MCP tools.
Can I restrict which MCP tools Copilot can access?
Yes. VS Code shows a tool consent dialog before any MCP tool is invoked for the first time. You can also configure tool access policies at the organization level through GitHub Copilot settings.
Does MCP work in VS Code Remote or Codespaces?
Yes. MCP servers configured via .vscode/mcp.json work in Remote SSH, WSL, and GitHub Codespaces environments. The MCP connection is established from the remote host, so ensure the server URL is accessible from that environment.
MCP tools not available
Ensure you are in Agent mode in Copilot Chat. MCP tools only appear in Agent mode.
