Browser Use

Q: Does Browser Use need an API key?

Yes. It reads OPENAI_API_KEY from its environment, and OPENAI_API_KEY is a secret. Put the value in your client's config on your own machine, never in a shared file.

listing.about

Browser Use is an open-source browser agent that controls a real Chrome browser. Through MCP, an assistant can hand it web tasks such as navigating pages, filling forms, extracting data and completing multi-step flows like bookings.

It runs locally over stdio with uvx (browser-use with the cli extra, started with the --mcp flag) and needs Python 3.11 or newer. The agent needs an LLM key such as OPENAI_API_KEY or ANTHROPIC_API_KEY. A hosted MCP endpoint is also available at https://api.browser-use.com/v3/mcp, authenticated with an x-browser-use-api-key header.
