Before you start

  • Node.js installed (the server runs via npx)
  • A Hyperbrowser API key — sign up at https://app.hyperbrowser.ai and create a key in the dashboard (docs at https://docs.hyperbrowser.ai)
  • Set the key as the HYPERBROWSER_API_KEY environment variable (or pass it as a CLI argument)

Hyperbrowser MCP + Claude Desktop FAQ

Where is the Claude Desktop config file?

Claude Desktop reads MCP servers from ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json. Paste the Hyperbrowser MCP config there under the "mcpServers" key and restart the client.

Is Hyperbrowser MCP safe to use with Claude Desktop?

Requires a billable HYPERBROWSER_API_KEY; keep it in env and rotate if leaked. Scraping and autonomous browser agents execute against arbitrary sites in the cloud, so the extracted content should be treated as untrusted input to your model.

How do I authenticate?

Set HYPERBROWSER_API_KEY in your MCP client config, or pass the key as a CLI argument to `npx hyperbrowser-mcp <KEY>`. Create the key in the Hyperbrowser dashboard.

Do I need to run a browser locally?

No. The browser runs in Hyperbrowser's cloud — the local npx process only relays MCP calls, so proxies, CAPTCHAs, and stealth are handled server-side.

Which clients does it work with?

Any MCP client over stdio. The README documents Cursor, Claude Desktop, and Windsurf; it can also be installed via Smithery.
