Unbrowse MCP Server

Unbrowse is the route layer / action layer for AI agents - a local Agent Skill, CLI, and TypeScript SDK that learns first-party website routes from real browsing, reuses them on later calls, and keeps a real browser only when the site still requires it. Credentials stay local; only sanitized route metadata is shared with the marketplace when you explicitly publish. MCP remains available as a compatibility surface.

People who work with browser use, clawdbot and har and want it reachable from Claude, Cursor, VS Code, or another MCP client. The project is written in TypeScript.

endpoint auth requires authentication - rejected our unauthenticated MCP initialize

license MIT - declared in the repository

npm package unbrowse - unscoped; check the name against the project README before installing

registry namespace io.github.unbrowse-ai is GitHub-verified and matches the repo owner
