Screen recording of a real Chrome session: an AI agent is asked to “Add a sweater that fits my 30 lb dog to my cart”. It opens demo.vercel.store, closes a popup, searches for “dog sweater”, opens the product, reads the size options, picks 20 – 50 lbs and adds it to the cart.

Model Context Protocol

One URL. Every AI that speaks MCP.

Add CloudBrowser once and your assistant gets 18 browser tools — in chat, in your editor or inside your own agents.

Sign in with your CloudBrowser account (OAuth) or send your API token as a Bearer header. Use the URL exactly as shown.

Add CloudBrowser to ChatGPT

  1. On ChatGPT for the web, turn on Developer mode in Settings.
  2. Open Apps (or Plugins, depending on your account) and create a new app named CloudBrowser with the MCP server URL.
  3. Choose OAuth authentication, create it and sign in with your CloudBrowser account.
  4. In a chat, open the + menu → Developer mode and select CloudBrowser.

Developer mode is a ChatGPT beta for eligible paid plans on the web; in Business workspaces an admin sets it up. Menu names vary between ChatGPT releases.

18 MCP tools

Everything a browser can do, as tools.

Your assistant decides what to call. CloudBrowser runs each step in a real browser and returns what the agent needs — page content, elements or a screenshot.

Human in the loop

Watch it live. Take the wheel anytime.

Every browser can stream to a live remote desktop. When an agent meets a login, a one-time code or a CAPTCHA, you step in — and it carries on from there.

  • Live remote desktop on every plan
  • detect_captcha tells the agent when to ask for help
  • Saved sessions keep agents signed in

FAQ

Questions, answered.

Explore the documentation
What is the CloudBrowser MCP server?

A hosted Model Context Protocol server at https://mcp.cloudbrowser.ai. It gives AI assistants 18 tools to open, drive and read real Chrome browsers running in the cloud.

Which clients can use it?

ChatGPT (developer mode), Claude (custom connectors), Claude Code, Cursor, VS Code, Codex, Gemini CLI, n8n and any other client that supports Streamable HTTP MCP servers.

How does authentication work?

Clients that support OAuth let you sign in with your CloudBrowser account. Developer tools can send your API token as an Authorization: Bearer header instead — find your token in the CloudBrowser dashboard.

Is the MCP server free?

The open-source MCP connector is free, and it adds no AI inference charge. Browser usage requires a CloudBrowser account and a paid plan after the 7-day Basic trial.

Can I run it locally instead?

Yes. The @cloudbrowser/mcp-server npm package runs over stdio with your CLOUDBROWSER_API_TOKEN. The npm release can lag behind the hosted server, so we recommend the hosted URL.

What happens when a site asks for a login or a CAPTCHA?

detect_captcha flags CAPTCHA widgets so the agent can pause, and start_remote_desktop opens a live view where you can step in. Saved sessions let agents return to sites you are already signed in to.
