# Unbrowse MCP server > Turn websites into APIs: read pages, run site tasks through learned first-party APIs, and use a cloud browser with saved logins. - Listing: https://mcp.tc/i/unbrowse - Connect: use the server's own URL `https://unbrowse.ai/mcp` (OAuth sign-in at the server); clients connect to it directly. The listing link is a page, not an MCP endpoint. - Type: remote (Streamable HTTP) - Auth: OAuth sign-in - Category: [Search & Web Data](https://mcp.tc/c/search-web) - Vendor: Unbrowse AI - Homepage: - Repository: - Package: npm `unbrowse` ## About Unbrowse lets an agent complete tasks on websites by calling each site's own first-party HTTP APIs instead of driving a browser. It searches your private capabilities and a public registry of compiled sites, replays matching requests, and verifies results. When no match exists, a recorded cloud browser can learn the task and compile it into a reusable capability. The hosted MCP endpoint is https://unbrowse.ai/mcp over streamable HTTP. Users complete an OAuth sign-in in their MCP client. An API key (UNBROWSE\_API\_KEY) is also accepted by the CLI and SDK. Saved logins are kept in the Unbrowse password manager and gated by approval rules. ## What it can do - Read a web page as markdown - Run site tasks via learned first-party APIs - Search private and public registry capabilities - Learn new sites in a recorded cloud browser - Use saved logins with approval controls ## Example prompts - "Get the top stories on Hacker News using Unbrowse." - "Read this page and return it as markdown." - "Find a capability for checking order status on this site." - "Learn this site's flow so I can reuse it next time." ## Install ### Claude Code 1. Run this in a terminal, in your project folder: ```bash claude mcp add --transport http unbrowse https://unbrowse.ai/mcp ``` 2. Start Claude Code, type `/mcp`, pick **unbrowse** and choose **Authenticate**. A browser window opens for the Unbrowse AI sign-in. Add `--scope user` to make it available in every project, not just this one. ### Claude Desktop 1. Open **Customize → Connectors**, click **+ Add**, then **Add custom connector**. 2. Name it **Unbrowse** and paste this URL: ```url https://unbrowse.ai/mcp ``` 3. Click **Add**, then **Connect**, and sign in when Unbrowse AI asks. Claude Desktop’s JSON config file only starts local servers. Remote servers go through Connectors, and connectors you add on claude.ai show up here too. ### claude.ai 1. Open the connector form on claude.ai. This button fills in the name and URL for you: [Add to claude.ai]() (opens connector settings) 2. Check that the URL reads `https://unbrowse.ai/mcp` and click **Add**. 3. Click **Connect** and sign in when Unbrowse AI asks. Free plans allow one custom connector. On Team and Enterprise plans an owner adds it under **Organization settings → Connectors**. ### ChatGPT 1. On chatgpt.com, open **Settings → Security and login** and turn on **Developer mode**. 2. Go to `chatgpt.com/plugins` and click **+** to create an app for a remote MCP server. 3. Paste `https://unbrowse.ai/mcp` as the server URL and choose **OAuth**. ChatGPT sends you to Unbrowse AI to sign in. Developer mode is available on the web for Plus, Pro, Business, Enterprise and Education accounts. ### Cursor [Add to Cursor]() (opens Cursor) Or add it by hand to `~/.cursor/mcp.json` (all projects) or `.cursor/mcp.json` (this project): `mcp.json`: ```json { "mcpServers": { "unbrowse": { "url": "https://unbrowse.ai/mcp" } } } ``` Cursor shows **Needs authentication** next to the server. Click the button beside it to sign in. ### VS Code [Install in VS Code]() (opens VS Code) Or from a terminal: ```bash code --add-mcp '{"name":"unbrowse","type":"http","url":"https://unbrowse.ai/mcp"}' ``` Or commit it to the repo in `.vscode/mcp.json`: `.vscode/mcp.json`: ```json { "servers": { "unbrowse": { "type": "http", "url": "https://unbrowse.ai/mcp" } } } ``` VS Code asks you to sign in the first time the server starts. ### Devin Desktop 1. Add it to `~/.config/devin/mcp_config.json` (macOS and Linux) or `%APPDATA%\devin\mcp_config.json` (Windows): `mcp_config.json`: ```json { "mcpServers": { "unbrowse": { "serverUrl": "https://unbrowse.ai/mcp" } } } ``` 2. Refresh the MCP server list in Cascade and sign in when asked. Devin Desktop is the new name for Windsurf. It reads `serverUrl` (or `url`) for remote servers. ### Codex ```bash codex mcp add unbrowse --url https://unbrowse.ai/mcp codex mcp login unbrowse ``` Or edit `~/.codex/config.toml` directly: `config.toml`: ```toml [mcp_servers.unbrowse] url = "https://unbrowse.ai/mcp" ``` ### Gemini CLI ```bash gemini mcp add --transport http unbrowse https://unbrowse.ai/mcp ``` Then, inside Gemini CLI, run `/mcp auth unbrowse` to sign in. This adds it to the current project. Add `-s user` to use it everywhere. ### Any client Most clients accept this shape. Some name the URL field differently: `serverUrl` in Devin Desktop, `httpUrl` in Gemini CLI’s settings file. ```json { "mcpServers": { "unbrowse": { "type": "http", "url": "https://unbrowse.ai/mcp" } } } ``` Zed puts servers under `context_servers` in its settings. Cline needs `"type": "streamableHttp"`, or it assumes SSE. Client only starts local servers? Bridge it with `npx -y mcp-remote https://unbrowse.ai/mcp`. ## Details - Server version: 12.2.0 - Last checked: 2026-10-08 (reachable, asks for credentials) - Listed: 2026-10-08 - Updated: 2026-10-08 --- Source: https://mcp.tc/i/unbrowse (mcp.tc is an independent directory, not affiliated with this server's publisher).
