Browser Use MCP Server

Provides a simple note storage MCP server with note resources, a summarize-notes prompt, and an add-note tool.

Installation

Add the following to your MCP client configuration file.

Configuration

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "adamdude828-mcp-browser-use": {
      "command": "uv",
      "args": [
        "--directory",
        "/Users/adamholsinger/mcp-servers/browser-use",
        "run",
        "browser-use"
      ]
    }
  }
}

You can run and interact with the browser-use MCP Server to store notes, access them via a custom note:// scheme, and generate summaries of your notes. This MCP Server is designed to be easy to run locally and integrate with MCP clients that manage server connections and resources.

How to use

You connect to the browser-use MCP Server from your MCP client to manage notes. You can add new notes with the add-note tool, view and access existing notes via the note:// URI scheme, and generate summaries of all stored notes using the summarize-notes prompt. The server notifies clients when resources change, so your view stays in sync.

How to install

Prerequisites you need before starting:

1. Ensure you have a runtime that supports MCP servers (the MCP runtime is typically provided by your environment).

2. Obtain the browser-use MCP Server configuration files or install script as provided by your environment.

Configuration

Two MCP connection configurations are available for the browser-use server. Use the HTTP or stdio methods depending on your setup. The stdio configurations run the server locally via a command and pass all arguments directly to the MCP runtime.

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "browser_use": {
      "type": "stdio",
      "command": "uv",
      "args": [
        "--directory",
        "/Users/adamholsinger/mcp-servers/browser-use",
        "run",
        "browser-use"
      ]
    }
  }
}
```

```json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "browser_use": {
      "type": "stdio",
      "command": "uvx",
      "args": [
        "browser-use"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Notes on usage

The server includes a simple resources mechanism for notes and a prompts system. A note resource has a name, description, and text/plain mimetype. Use the add-note tool to create new notes and the summarize-notes prompt to generate summaries of current notes. The style argument for summarize-notes lets you request brief or detailed summaries.

Troubleshooting

If you encounter debugging difficulties, consider using the MCP Inspector to inspect and diagnose MCP server interactions. You can launch it with the MCP runtime’s command and follow the prompts to connect to your running server instance.

Available tools

add-note

Adds a new note to the server. Requires name and content as strings. Updates server state and notifies clients of resource changes.

summarize-notes

Creates summaries of all stored notes. Optional style argument controls detail level (brief or detailed) and combines current notes into a single prompt for summarization.
