Connect Browserbase to Claude Code

Give your AI agents a cloud browser. Navigate sites, fill forms, take screenshots, and extract data — all from your Claude Code sessions.

What is Browserbase?

Browserbase provides cloud browser infrastructure specifically built for AI agents. Instead of running a local browser, your agents use a managed cloud browser with anti-detection, session management, and the Stagehand SDK for precise web interactions.

Navigate Websites

Open any URL, follow links, handle redirects and single-page apps

Click & Fill Forms

Click buttons, fill input fields, select dropdowns — all via natural language

Take Screenshots

Capture full-page or element-specific screenshots for verification

Extract Data

Pull structured data from any page — tables, lists, text, images

Handle Authentication

Log into sites, manage sessions, handle cookies and tokens

Anti-Detection

Built-in proxy rotation and fingerprint management — avoid blocks

Setup Guide

1

Create a Browserbase Account

Sign up at browserbase.com — they offer a free tier for testing.

Get Your API Key

Go to your Browserbase dashboard and copy your API key and project ID.

Store your API key in .env.local — never commit it to code.

3

Add MCP Server to Claude Code

# Add Browserbase MCP server
$ claude mcp add-json "browserbase"
'{"command":"npx","args":["-y","@browserbasehq/mcp-browserbase"]}'

Test It

> Open browserbase.com and take a screenshot of the homepage
# Claude will open a cloud browser, navigate, and capture the screenshot

Use Cases

QA & Testing

AI agents that test your website by navigating, clicking, and verifying every page works correctly.

Data Collection

Extract data from sites that require JavaScript rendering — SPAs, dynamic content, behind-login pages.

Form Automation

Fill and submit forms across multiple sites — applications, registrations, data entry.

Monitoring

Schedule browser checks: verify your site is up, detect UI changes, monitor competitor pricing.

Add Browser Power to Your AI Brain

Browserbase + Claude Code + AI Starter Package = agents that can browse the web, fill forms, extract data, and automate any web workflow.
