An MCP Server that enables AI assistants to interact with local browsers (via a companion browser extension).
https://github.com/ndthanhdev/mcp-browser-kitStop copying and pasting between your AI chat and browser tabs. MCP Browser Kit connects AI assistants directly to your actual browser sessions, so you can delegate web tasks without losing context or switching windows.
You're already using AI assistants for coding and research, but there's always that friction when you need them to interact with web content. Screenshot uploads, manual copy-paste, describing what's on screen - it's all unnecessary overhead.
MCP Browser Kit solves this by giving your AI assistant direct access to your browser tabs through a lightweight extension. Your AI can click buttons, fill forms, extract data, and navigate pages just like you would - but faster and more precisely.
Unlike headless browser automation that runs in isolation, this works with your actual browsing session. Your AI assistant can:
The AI sees exactly what you see, in the context of your real browsing session.
The kit provides two extension builds to maximize browser support:
M2 Build (Full functionality): Firefox, Safari, Brave, Edge M3 Build (Chromium compatibility): Chrome, Brave, Edge
Firefox and Safari users get the complete feature set with M2, while Chrome users can use the M3 build. If your browser supports both, go with M2 for maximum capabilities.
Add the server to your MCP client:
{
"mcpServers": {
"browser-kit": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["@mcp-browser-kit/server"]
}
}
}
Download the compatible extension build, load it into your browser, and start delegating browser tasks:
Use browser-kit to star the current GitHub repo and then navigate to its issues tab
The developers recommend using a dedicated browser profile with this MCP to prevent accidental exposure of sensitive data to AI providers. This approach gives you the power of browser automation while maintaining clear boundaries around your private browsing data.
Whether you're managing GitHub repositories, testing web applications, gathering research data, or automating repetitive browser tasks, MCP Browser Kit turns your browser into an extension of your AI assistant's capabilities.
The setup takes minutes, but the productivity gains compound daily as you discover new ways to delegate browser-based workflows to your AI assistant.
