Browser MCP

Give your AI agent a real cloud browser. Connect Claude, Codex, Cursor, VS Code, and other MCP-compatible AI agents to a managed cloud browser. Navigate dynamic websites, interact with pages, reuse browser profiles, work through proxies, handle captcha challenges, and keep browser state between tasks — without running Chrome infrastructure yourself.

From prompt to browser result

Get Started with Browser MCP. Give your AI agent a task. MegaIndex Browser MCP turns it into browser actions, runs them in the cloud, and returns the result.

Prompt

You ask the AI agent

Browser execution

MegaIndex Browser MCP runs in the cloud

Result

The agent receives the results

Full headless browser access

Give AI agents the browser capabilities they need for real web workflows — from simple navigation to authenticated, multi-step sessions.

The real web is more than HTML

AI agents often fail when a website requires JavaScript, browser interaction, session state, a specific location, or additional verification. MegaIndex Browser MCP gives the agent a managed browser environment instead of forcing it to solve browser infrastructure on its own.

Why use a cloud Browser MCP?

Local browser MCP servers give AI agents browser controls. They also leave browser deployment, proxies, session management, scaling, and other infrastructure to you. MegaIndex moves that browser infrastructure to the cloud.

Login once. Continue later.

Keep identity and state between tasks. Not every browser task starts from a clean session.

Reuse browser profiles, cookies, and authentication state so your agent can return to the same workflow without logging in from scratch every time.

Task 1

Save browser profile

FAQ

What is MegaIndex Browser MCP?

MegaIndex Browser MCP connects MCP-compatible AI agents to MegaIndex cloud browser infrastructure, allowing them to navigate and interact with websites through browser tools.

Does the browser run on my computer?

No. Browser sessions run in the MegaIndex cloud.

What is the difference between Browser MCP and Browser API?

Browser API is designed for direct application integrations through technologies such as Playwright, Puppeteer, and CDP. Browser MCP exposes browser capabilities directly to AI agents through Model Context Protocol.

Can I use proxies?

Yes. Browser sessions can use proxy configuration supported by MegaIndex Browser API.

Can my agent keep a login between sessions?

Browser profiles can preserve cookies and browser state so authenticated workflows can be reused across sessions.

Does MegaIndex Browser MCP work with JavaScript websites?

Yes. Tasks run in a real browser environment capable of rendering and interacting with JavaScript-based websites.

Does it handle captcha?

MegaIndex Browser API provides captcha handling capabilities that can be used as part of browser automation workflows.

Which AI clients are supported?

MegaIndex Browser MCP is designed for MCP-compatible clients such as Claude, Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, VS Code, Windsurf, Cline, and other MCP clients.

Do I still need Playwright?

Not when an AI agent controls the browser through MCP. Playwright, Puppeteer, and CDP remain available for direct integrations through MegaIndex Browser API.
