Open Source AI Agent to automate browser workflows via an API
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
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
-
This allows Cursor to apply for jobs, fill out contact forms, log in and download files, etc.
-
Connect Windsurf to take over your Chrome while running Skyvern in “local” mode
We built this mostly for fun, but we 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.
