01 · Install Openbrowser AI

before you install - you'll need

Set OPENBROWSER_HEADLESS, GOOGLE_API_KEY, OPENAI_API_KEY, ANTHROPIC_API_KEY, GROQ_API_KEY, AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID, AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY, AWS_DEFAULT_REGION, AZURE_OPENAI_API_KEY, AZURE_OPENAI_ENDPOINT, VNC_ENABLED, AUTH_ENABLED before connecting.

Claude Code

claude mcp add billy-enrizky-openbrowser-ai -- uvx openbrowser-ai

Claude Desktop / Cursor / VS Code - add to config

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "billy-enrizky-openbrowser-ai": {
      "command": "uvx",
      "args": [
        "openbrowser-ai"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Same JSON for Cursor. For VS Code, rename the top-level key from `mcpServers` to `servers`.

Using another client? Same JSON, different key
