## What this server does

Browserbase runs real headless browsers in the cloud, so automation does not tie up your machine and pages render exactly as a browser sees them. The MCP server drives these sessions: navigate, act on elements with natural-language instructions, extract structured data, and screenshot. Because the browser is remote, it can reach sites that block datacenter scrapers less aggressively and it isolates page execution from your laptop. A Gemini key powers the default vision-driven actions.

## Tools included

-   browserbase\_navigate
    
    Open a URL in a cloud browser session.
    
-   browserbase\_act
    
    Perform a natural-language action on the page.
    
-   browserbase\_extract
    
    Extract structured data from the page.
    
-   browserbase\_screenshot
    
    Capture a screenshot of the current page.
    

The authoritative list comes from the server's tools/list at runtime. This catalog entry may lag the upstream until the next ToolPiper release.

## Security notes

Three credentials are involved: the Browserbase API key and project ID gate your cloud browser usage and billing, and the Gemini key bills against Google. Treat all three as credentials. Cloud sessions can reach any URL the assistant is told to, so do not feed it untrusted instructions. Browsing real sites with real credentials means those credentials transit Browserbase's infrastructure.
