Introducing Hyperbrowser MCP Server: AI Meets the Web
Today, we’re thrilled to launch the Hyperbrowser MCP Server - the best way to connect LLMs to the web.
What’s MCP and why it matters
The Model Context Protocol (MCP), introduced by Anthropic, is an open standard that lets AI assistants tap into external tools and resources. Think of it as a universal plug - like USB-C for hardware, but for AI. MCP offers a single, standardized interface for AI agents to work with tools and resources (like files and prompts). Installation and authentication are still a real pain in the neck, but Anthropic’s making good progress here so we’re pretty excited for what’s ahead.
Meet the Hyperbrowser MCP Server
Our MCP Server unlocks Hyperbrowser’s APIs like scrape, crawl, and agents (OpenAI CUA, Anthropic’s Computer Use, Browser Use) for AI agents. It handles everything from quick data grabs to intricate, reasoning-driven tasks. More concretely, our MCP server exposes these tools:
Web Data Access
scrape_webpage: Grab markdown, HTML, or screenshots from any site.crawl_webpages: Collect data across linked pages.extract_structured_data: Turn messy web content into clean JSON.search_with_bing: Pull web search results via Bing.
Agentic Browser Automation
browser_use_agent: Lightweight automation for simple tasks.openai_computer_use_agent: Versatile web control with OpenAI models.claude_computer_use_agent: Advanced, reasoning-based automation with Claude.
Get Started in seconds
Run it locally with:
$ npx -y hyperbrowser-mcp
Or use it with MCP clients like Claude Desktop, Windsurf, or Cursor (our favorite). Add Hyperbrowser to your config like so:
What can you do with Hyperbrowser MCP
With the Hyperbrowser MCP Server, practical magic happens:
- Deep Research: Task Claude Desktop to scour 20 industry blogs in minute and deliver a concise summary of emerging trends or prepare a deep research report on the mobile gaming industry
- Coding: Feed Cursor live API docs from a site like Resend, generating a working payment module in one shot
- Code Review: Give Windsurf a URL to a pull request and have it review the PR for you
- Analysis: Crawl 50 news outlets overnight to chart sentiment on a breaking story
- Testing: Automate a checkout flow on an e-commerce site, mimicking a human shopper down to the clicks
- Data: Extract product specs from 100 retailer pages into a tidy JSON dataset for your next ML model
What’s Next
There’s a lot more to come here that we’re pretty excited about. We’re cooking up:
- Enhanced browser tools for AI agents
- Specialized automation for niches like e-commerce or research
- Better docs and resources in the server
- Hosted Hyperbrowser MCP server for
