BrowserOS MCP Server — Browser automation and 40+ external service integrations.
## Browser Automation
Observe → Act → Verify:
- Always take_snapshot before interacting — it returns element IDs like [47].
- Use these IDs with click, fill, select_option, and other interaction tools.
- After any navigation, element IDs become invalid — take a new snapshot.
- After actions, verify the result succeeded before continuing.
Obstacle handling:
- Cookie banners, popups → dismiss and continue.
- Login gates → notify user; proceed if credentials provided.
- CAPTCHA, 2FA → pause and ask user to resolve manually.
Error recovery:
- Element not found → scroll down, re-snapshot, retry.
- After 2 failed attempts → describe the blocker and ask user for guidance.
## External Integrations (Klavis Strata)
40+ services: Gmail, Slack, GitHub, Notion, Google Calendar, Jira, Linear, Figma, Salesforce, and more.

Progressive discovery — do not guess action names:
1. discover_server_categories_or_actions → always start here.
2. get_category_actions → expand categories from step 1.
3. get_action_details → get parameter schema before executing.
4. execute_action → use include_output_fields to limit response size.
5. search_documentation → fallback keyword search.
Authentication — when execute_action returns an auth error:
1. handle_auth_failure(server_name, intention: "get_auth_url").
2. new_page(auth_url) to open in browser for user to authenticate.
3. Wait for explicit user confirmation before retrying.
## General
Execute independent tool calls in parallel when possible.

Open a new page (tab) and navigate to a URL. Opens in background by default to keep the user on their current page. Use group_tabs to organize related tabs.
Parameters:
url (string) (required): URL to open
hidden (boolean) (optional): Create as hidden tab
background (boolean) (optional): Open in background without stealing focus. Set to false only when user needs to see the tab immediately.
windowId (number) (optional): Window ID to create tab in
Open a new hidden page (tab) and navigate to a URL. Hidden pages are not visible to the user and useful for background data fetching or automation. Note: take_screenshot is not supported on hidden tabs — use show_page first to make it visible.
Parameters:
url (string) (required): URL to open
windowId (number) (optional): Window ID to create tab in
Restore a hidden page back into a visible browser window. Use after new_hidden_page when you need to make the page visible (e.g. for screenshots). Errors if the page is already visible.
Parameters:
page (number) (required): Page ID (from list_pages)
windowId (number) (optional): Window ID to place the tab in (defaults to last active)
index (number) (optional): Tab position index within the window
activate (boolean) (optional): Activate (focus) the tab after showing
Get a concise snapshot of interactive elements on the page. Returns a flat list with element IDs (e.g. [47]) that can be used with click, fill, hover, etc. Always take a snapshot before interacting with page elements.
Parameters:
page (number) (required): Page ID (from list_pages)
Get a detailed accessibility tree of the page with structural context (headings, landmarks, dialogs) and cursor-interactive elements that ARIA misses. Use when you need more context than take_snapshot provides.
Parameters:
page (number) (required): Page ID (from list_pages)
Extract page content as clean markdown with headers, links, lists, tables, and formatting preserved. Large results are written to a local file and returned by path. Not for automation — use take_snapshot for that.
Parameters:
page (number) (required): Page ID (from list_pages)
Extract all links from the page using the accessibility tree. Returns a deduplicated list of text entries. More reliable than DOM queries — handles role="link" elements and shadow DOM.
Parameters:
page (number) (required): Page ID (from list_pages)
Get the raw HTML DOM structure of a page or a specific element. Writes outer HTML to a local file and returns the file path. Use a CSS selector to scope to a specific part of the page. For readable text content, prefer get_page_content instead.
Parameters:
page (number) (required): Page ID (from list_pages)
Search the DOM using plain text, CSS selectors, or XPath queries. Uses the browser's native DOM search. Returns matching elements with tag name and attributes. Examples: "Login" (text search), "input[type=email]" (CSS), "//button[@aria-label]" (XPath).
Parameters:
page (number) (required): Page ID (from list_pages)
Get browser console output (logs, warnings, errors, exceptions) for a page. Use to debug JavaScript errors, failed network requests, or unexpected page behavior.
Parameters:
page (number) (required): Page ID (from list_pages)
Select an option in a dropdown by value or visible text
Parameters:
page (number) (required): Page ID (from list_pages)
element (number) (required): Element ID of the element
value (string) (required): Option value or visible text to select
Create a new hidden browser window. Hidden windows are not visible to the user and useful for background automation. Note: take_screenshot is not supported on hidden windows.
Get information about BrowserOS features, capabilities, and documentation links. Use when users ask "What is BrowserOS?", "What can BrowserOS do?", or about specific features.
Parameters:
topic (string) (optional): Specific topic to get info about. Use "overview" for general questions.
Call this to suggest scheduling a task. Use in two cases: (1) MANDATORY after completing a task that could run on a recurring schedule (news, monitoring, reports, price tracking, data gathering). (2) Immediately when the user explicitly asks to schedule, automate, or repeat the current task — do NOT ask for clarification, infer all parameters from context. Do NOT call if the task requires real-time user interaction.
Parameters:
query (string) (required): The original user query to schedule
suggestedName (string) (required): A short, descriptive name for the scheduled task (e.g. "Morning News Briefing")
scheduleType (string) (required): How often the task should run
scheduleTime (string) (optional): Suggested time for daily tasks in HH:MM format (e.g. "09:00"). Ignored for hourly.
