Browserbase MCP
Cloud browser sessions for agents, powered by Stagehand.
How it runs
You can run this server locally or connect to a hosted remote version. Local gives you more control; remote saves setup and handles updates for you.
Who maintains it
This is an official server published by the vendor behind the product it connects to, generally the safest choice for that integration.
Safety checklist
- Review which tools it exposes, and prefer read-only modes where available.
- Use scoped, least-privilege credentials or a test account first.
- Keep human approval on for actions with side effects (writes, payments, deletions).
- Treat content returned from the web or user data as untrusted, because it can contain prompt-injection attempts.
