Frequently Asked Questions

How is Browser Tools different from Browser MCP?

Browser Tools focuses on 'monitoring' rather than 'controlling': it doesn't manipulate the browser, but displays real-time console logs, network requests, and page errors directly in your IDE — giving AI agents debugging info while you code. Browser MCP controls the browser to perform actions. They complement each other.

How do I install Browser Tools?

Run npx -y @agentdeskai/browser-tools-mcp to start. Register it in Claude Code with claude mcp add browser-tools -- npx -y @agentdeskai/browser-tools-mcp, or paste into Cursor's MCP settings. You'll also need to install the browser extension for log capture.

Is Browser Tools free?

Completely free and open source with an active community. Both the MCP server and browser extension are free to use, no API key needed, and all data is processed locally.
