Browser Use MCP

A powerful browser automation and control system that enables AI agents to interact with web browsers through the Model Context Protocol (MCP). This implementation is specifically designed to work with Ollama local models, providing a secure and efficient way to automate browser interactions using locally-hosted AI models.

Features

• MCP Integration: Full support for Model Context Protocol, enabling structured communication between AI models and browser automation
• Ollama Model Support: Optimized for local AI models running through Ollama
• Browser Control: Direct browser manipulation and automation with screenshot capabilities
• DOM Management: Advanced DOM tree building and processing
• AI Agent System: Sophisticated message management and service orchestration
• Telemetry: Built-in system monitoring and performance tracking
• Extensible Architecture: Modular design supporting custom actions and features

Prerequisites

• Ollama installed and running locally
• Python 3.8 or higher
• pip package manager

Installation

# Clone the repository
git clone https://github.com/yourusername/browser-use-mcp.git
cd browser-use-mcp

# Install dependencies
pip install -r requirements.txt

# Configure Ollama (ensure Ollama is running)
ollama pull qwen2.5-coder:7b # or your preferred model

Quick Start

from browser_use.agent import Agent
from browser_use.browser import Browser
from browser_use.mcp import MCPServer

# Initialize MCP server and Ollama model
mcp_server = MCPServer(model="qwen2.5-coder:7b")

# Initialize browser and agent
browser = Browser()
agent = Agent(browser, mcp_server)

# Execute browser actions through MCP
agent.execute("Navigate to https://example.com and click the first button")

Using with MCP Clients

Claude Desktop Integration

To use browser-use-mcp with Claude Desktop:

1. Add the MCP server configuration to Claude Desktop's settings (claude_desktop_config.json):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "browser-use": {
      "command": "/path/to/.venv/bin/python",
      "args": [
        "/path/to/server.py"
      ]
    }
  }
}

2. Restart Claude Desktop to load the new MCP server

3. The browser control tools will now be available to Claude through the MCP protocol:

   • browser_action: Control browser interactions
   • read_dom: Access page DOM information
   • get_screenshot: Capture browser state

Other MCP Clients

For other MCP-compatible clients, configure the server using these parameters:

• Command: python
• Arguments: ["-m", "browser_use.mcp_server"]
• Environment Variables:
  • OLLAMA_HOST: Ollama API host (default: http://localhost:11434)
  • BROWSER_HEADLESS: Run browser in headless mode (default: false)
  • SCREENSHOT_DIR: Directory for saving screenshots (default: ./screenshots)

Examples

Check out the examples/ directory for various use cases:

• Simple browser automation
• Custom function integration
• Multi-tab handling
• Parallel agent operations
• MCP client integration examples
• And more!
