FAQ from browser-use-mcp-server

What prerequisites are needed?

You need uv (fast Python package manager), playwright (browser automation), and mcp-proxy (for stdio mode). Install them with the provided commands.

How do I configure the server for different MCP clients?

Configuration paths vary by client: for Cursor use ./.cursor/mcp.json, for Windsurf ~/.codeium/windsurf/mcp_config.json, and for Claude Desktop the path depends on OS (Mac or Windows).

How can I run browser-use-mcp-server with Docker?

Build the image with docker build -t browser-use-mcp-server . and run with docker run --rm -p8000:8000 -p5900:5900 browser-use-mcp-server. You can optionally set a custom VNC password via a mounted secret file.

What is the default VNC password and how do I watch the browser?

The default VNC password is browser-use. To watch, use a VNC viewer such as noVNC by cloning it and pointing to localhost:5900.
