Compatible with every major AI agent and IDE
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)
- Start collecting web data and monitoring sites from Claude, Cursor, or any MCP client
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 Windsurf discover MCP tools?
Windsurf reads the mcp_config.json file on startup and connects to each configured server via Streamable HTTP. Tools are listed in the MCP panel and available to Cascade automatically.
Can Cascade chain multiple MCP tool calls?
Yes. Cascade is an agentic system. it can plan and execute multi-step workflows, calling several tools in sequence to accomplish complex tasks without manual prompting between steps.
Does Windsurf support multiple MCP servers?
Yes. Add as many servers as needed in mcp_config.json. Each server's tools appear in the MCP panel and Cascade can use tools from different servers in a single flow.
