• uv

curl -LsSf https://astral.sh/uv/install.sh | sh

uv sync
uv pip install playwright

uv run server --port 8000

• the .env requires the following:

• we will be adding support for other LLM providers to power browser-use (claude, grok, bedrock, etc)

when building the dockerfile you can add in your own VNC server password:

docker build --build-arg VNC_PASSWORD=klaatubaradanikto .

tools

• SSE transport
• browser_use - Initiates browser tasks with URL and action
• browser_get_result - Retrieves results of async browser tasks

supported clients

• cursor.ai
• claude desktop
• claude code
• windsurf (windsurf doesn't support SSE yet)

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "browser-use-mcp-server": {
      "url": "http://localhost:8000/sse"
    }
  }
}
