About

The Browserless MCP Server is Browserless.io's official Model Context Protocol integration, exposing Browserless's smart-scraper and browser-automation API as tools any MCP-compatible AI assistant can call — Claude Desktop, Cursor, VS Code, and Windsurf among them. The fastest path is the hosted remote server at `https://mcp.browserless.io/mcp`, authenticated with a Browserless API token (a free tier is available), so most users never run anything locally. Core capabilities: a scraping tool that cascades through strategies (plain HTTP fetch, proxy, full headless-browser render, and CAPTCHA solving as needed) and returns content as markdown, HTML, screenshot, PDF, or extracted links; a web-search tool covering web/news/image search with geo-targeting and time-range filters, with optional per-result scraping; a raw Puppeteer-execution tool that runs custom JavaScript against a live page object on Browserless's cloud browsers for cases the built-in tools don't cover; and a stateful agent-loop mode that keeps a persistent browser session alive across multiple tool calls with snapshot/observe/act primitives, instead of forcing one-shot page loads for every step. This makes it a fit for AI research agents that need to click through paginated results, fill and submit forms, or verify a scrape against a live rendered page rather than a static fetch. The github.com/browserless/mcp-server URL sometimes cited for this project does not exist — the real official repo lives at browserless/browserless-mcp; a separate community implementation, Lizzard-Solutions/browserless-mcp, offers a comparable self-hosted alternative for teams that want to run the bridge themselves instead of the hosted endpoint.

Installation

Apify MCP Server

The Apify MCP server gives AI agents access to 6,000+ ready-made cloud scrapers, crawlers, and automation tools on the Apify Store — no infrastructure required. Connect to Apify Actors that extract data from social media platforms (Instagram, TikTok, LinkedIn), search engines (Google, Bing), e-commerce sites (Amazon, eBay), maps (Google Maps), and virtually any website. Each Actor runs in the cloud with managed proxies, browser fingerprinting, and anti-bot bypass built in. Use the Apify MCP server to query Actors by task, stream results directly into your AI context, run custom scraping Actors from your Apify account, and chain multiple data extraction steps in a single workflow. Supports tool filtering to expose only the Actors you need, and integrates with Apify's RAG web browser Actor for retrieval-augmented generation use cases.

Firecrawl MCP Server

The Firecrawl MCP server gives your AI assistant the ability to crawl, scrape, and extract structured data from any website — turning raw HTML into clean, LLM-ready Markdown or JSON in seconds. Built by the Firecrawl team, it exposes tools for single-page scraping, deep site crawls (following internal links), and batch URL extraction, all with JavaScript rendering handled automatically so dynamic content is never missed. Developers use it to automate competitive research, build live knowledge bases, extract pricing tables, monitor documentation changes, or feed structured web data into RAG pipelines — all through natural-language prompts without writing a single scraper script. The Firecrawl MCP server handles rate limiting, retries, and proxy rotation behind the scenes. Authentication requires a Firecrawl API key (free tier available). Install with: npx firecrawl-mcp. Works with Claude Desktop, Cursor, VS Code, and any MCP-compatible client. With Firecrawl, any public webpage becomes a structured data source your AI can reason over, compare, and act on — making it the go-to MCP server for web data extraction workflows.
