Agent Browser Overview
The agent-browser MCP server lets MCP clients control a real Chromium browser through Vercel's agent-browser CLI. It exposes browser actions for navigation, form filling, clicking, accessibility snapshots, screenshots, cookies, JavaScript evaluation, CDP access, and session handling. Use it when an agent must operate a live browser rather than fetch web documents, such as completing a workflow or restoring a logged-in session. It runs as a standard MCP stdio server and supports optional TOML configuration.
Primary Use Cases for Agent Browser:
- Automate browser-based form workflows
- Inspect accessibility trees before interacting with pages
