Hey HN, we were playing around with MCPs over the weekend and thought it would be cool to build an MCP that lets Claude / Cursor / Windsurf control your browser: https://github.com/Skyvern-AI/skyvern/tree/main/integrations/mcp https://github.com/Skyvern-AI/skyvern/tree/main/integrations... Just for context, we’re building Skyvern, an open source AI Agent that can control and interact with browsers using prompts, similar to OpenAI’s Operator. The MCP Server can: - This allows Claude to navigate to docs websites / stack overflow and look up information like the top posts on hackernews - https://github.com/Skyvern-AI/skyvern/tree/main/integrations/mcp#skyvern-allows-claude-to-look-up-the-top-hackernews-posts-today https://github.com/Skyvern-AI/skyvern/tree/main/integrations... - This allows Cursor to apply for jobs / fill out contact forms / login + download files / etc - https://github.com/Skyvern-AI/skyvern/tree/main/integrations/mcp#cursor-looking-up-the-top-programming-jobs-in-your-area https://github.com/Skyvern-AI/skyvern/tree/main/integrations... - Connect Windsruf to take over your chrome while running Skyvern in “local” mode - https://github.com/Skyvern-AI/skyvern/tree/main/integrations/mcp#ask-windsurf-to-do-a-form-5500-search-and-download-some-files https://github.com/Skyvern-AI/skyvern/tree/main/integrations... We built this mostly for fun, but can see this being integrated into AI agents to give them custom access to browsers and execute complex tasks like booking appointments, downloading your electricity statements, looking up freight shipment information, etc

I used to doubt the usefulness of most mcp servers but with something as powerful as general-purpose browser use this makes a lot of sense. I would rather use something more open like this than a completely proprietary browser agent like chatgpt's. Great work!

  Definitely. It gives you a lot more control on which models you want powering these browser agents, which is the important part
