What is Hyperbrowser?
Hyperbrowser is a next-generation platform for scalable browser automation powered by AI agents. It provides tools for web scraping, structured data extraction, and crawling via its Model Context Protocol (MCP) server.
How to use Hyperbrowser?
To use Hyperbrowser, you can install and run the MCP server either manually or through integration with tools like Cursor, Windsurf, or Smithery.
- Manual Installation: Run
npx hyperbrowser-mcp
to launch the server. - Integration with Cursor/Windsurf: Add the server configuration to their respective config files.
- Development Setup: Clone the repository, install dependencies, and run the server locally.
- Smithery Installation: Use
npx -y @smithery/cli install @hyperbrowserai/mcp --client claude
for automated setup.
Key Features of Hyperbrowser
- Web Scraping: Extract formatted content (markdown, screenshots) from any webpage.
- Web Crawling: Navigate and extract content from multiple linked pages.
- Structured Data Extraction: Convert messy HTML into structured JSON.
- Browser Automation: Use AI agents like OpenAI's CUA, Anthropic's Claude Browser Use, and Browser Use for automation tasks.
- Profile Management: Create, delete, and list persistent browser profiles.
- Integrations: Supports Cursor, Windsurf, Claude Desktop, and Smithery for seamless setup.
Use Cases of Hyperbrowser
- Automating repetitive web tasks (e.g., form submissions, data collection).
- Scraping large volumes of data for analysis or research.
- Extracting structured data from complex webpages for business intelligence.
- Simplifying browser automation workflows with AI-driven agents.
- Managing persistent browsing profiles for session continuity.

Installation
Manual Installation
To install the server, run:
npx hyperbrowser-mcp ``` ## Running on Cursor Add to `~/.cursor/mcp.json` like this: ```json { "mcpServers": { "hyperbrowser": { "command": "npx", "args": ["-y", "hyperbrowser-mcp"], "env": { "HYPERBROWSER_API_KEY": "YOUR-API-KEY" } } } } ``` ## Running on Windsurf Add to your `./codeium/windsurf/model_config.json` like this: ```json { "mcpServers": { "hyperbrowser": { "command": "npx", "args": ["-y", "hyperbrowser-mcp"], "env": { "HYPERBROWSER_API_KEY": "YOUR-API-KEY" } } } } ``` ### Development For development purposes, you can run the server directly from the source code. 1. Clone the repository: ```sh git clone git@github.com:hyperbrowserai/mcp.git hyperbrowser-mcp cd hyperbrowser-mcp ``` 2. Install dependencies: ```sh npm install # or yarn install npm run build ``` 3. Run the server: ```sh node dist/server.js ``` ## Claude Desktop app This is an example config for the Hyperbrowser MCP server for the Claude Desktop client. ```json { "mcpServers": { "hyperbrowser": { "command": "npx", "args": ["--yes", "hyperbrowser-mcp"], "env": { "HYPERBROWSER_API_KEY": "your-api-key" } } } } ``` ## Tools * `scrape_webpage` - Extract formatted (markdown, screenshot etc) content from any webpage * `crawl_webpages` - Navigate through multiple linked pages and extract LLM-friendly formatted content * `extract_structured_data` - Convert messy HTML into structured JSON * `search_with_bing` - Query the web and get results with Bing search * `browser_use_agent` - Fast, lightweight browser automation with the Browser Use agent * `openai_computer_use_agent` - General-purpose automation using OpenAI’s CUA model * `claude_computer_use_agent` - Complex browser tasks using Claude computer use * `create_profile` - Creates a new persistent Hyperbrowser profile. * `delete_profile` - Deletes an existing persistent Hyperbrowser profile. * `list_profiles` - Lists existing persistent Hyperbrowser profiles. ### Installing via Smithery To install Hyperbrowser MCP Server for Claude Desktop automatically via [Smithery](https://smithery.ai/server/@hyperbrowserai/mcp): ```bash npx -y @smithery/cli install @hyperbrowserai/mcp --client claude ``` ## Resources The server provides the documentation about hyperbrowser through the `resources` methods. Any client which can do discovery over resources has access to it. ## License This project is licensed under the MIT License.
