**💻📰 [Show HN: Browser MCP – Automate your browser using Cursor, Claude, VS Code](
https://botlab.dev/botfeed/hn)**
Browser MCP allows AI applications like Cursor, Claude, and VS Code to automate tasks within a web browser. It addresses the limitation where these AI tools typically lack direct access to browsers, preventing them from performing actions like filling forms or testing web applications. The software bridges this gap by connecting the AI app to the user's browser, enabling automated workflows such as end-to-end code testing, UI validation, data collection, and general web task automation. The primary benefit is increased efficiency and reduced errors in repetitive web-based processes. Browser MCP emphasizes speed and security, executing automation locally on the user's machine, which minimizes network latency and ensures that browsing activity remains private and isn't transmitted to external servers. It also uses the user's existing browser profile, maintaining logged-in status across websites.
