How to Set Up and Use Hyperbrowser
Hyperbrowser is a cloud-hosted browser automation platform purpose-built for AI agents, exposing ten MCP tools that cover webpage scraping, multi-page crawling, structured data extraction, Bing web search, and three autonomous browser agents (Browser Use, OpenAI Computer Use, Claude Computer Use). It eliminates the need to manage local browser infrastructure — sessions run on Hyperbrowser's edge network — and provides a persistent browser profile system so agents can maintain cookies and login state across runs. Developers use it when they need scalable, reliable browser automation for AI agents without the overhead of running Playwright or Selenium locally.
Prerequisites
- A Hyperbrowser API key — sign up at app.hyperbrowser.ai to obtain HYPERBROWSER_API_KEY
- Node.js 18+ and npx available on your system
- An MCP client such as Claude Desktop, Cursor, or Windsurf
Obtain your Hyperbrowser API key
Sign up at app.hyperbrowser.ai and copy your API key from the dashboard. You will need this for both the npx command and the MCP client config.
Test the server with your API key
Run the Hyperbrowser MCP server directly passing your API key as a positional argument to confirm it connects successfully.
npx hyperbrowser-mcp <YOUR-HYPERBROWSER-API-KEY>Add Hyperbrowser to your MCP client configuration
Edit your MCP client config file to register the Hyperbrowser server, passing your API key in the env block.
{
"mcpServers": {
"hyperbrowser": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["-y", "hyperbrowser-mcp"],
"env": {
"HYPERBROWSER_API_KEY": "your_api_key_here"
}
}
}
}Restart your MCP client
Restart Claude Desktop or your IDE to load the Hyperbrowser server. You should see ten Hyperbrowser tools appear in the available tools list.
Create a browser profile for persistent sessions
Use the create_profile tool to create a named profile that maintains cookies and login state between agent runs. Reference the profile ID in subsequent tool calls.

}Prompts to try
Example prompts that use Hyperbrowser's ten MCP tools.
- "Scrape the main content from https://news.ycombinator.com and summarize the top 10 stories"
- "Crawl https://docs.example.com and extract all the API endpoint descriptions"
- "Search the web for 'best open source LLMs 2025' and give me a structured comparison"
- "Extract structured product data (name, price, SKU) from this e-commerce page: https://shop.example.com/product/123"
- "Use the browser agent to log into my account at https://example.com and download my invoices"Troubleshooting Hyperbrowser
Authentication error or 401 response from Hyperbrowser API
Verify that HYPERBROWSER_API_KEY is correctly set in the env block of your MCP config and matches the key shown in your Hyperbrowser dashboard. The key should start with 'hb-'.
Browser agent times out on complex tasks
Break complex multi-step tasks into smaller sub-tasks. The Browser Use, OpenAI CUA, and Claude Computer Use agents each have different timeout limits — try a different agent if one times out consistently.
Scraped content is incomplete or missing dynamic content
Use scrape_webpage with the 'waitForNetworkIdle' option enabled, or switch to browser_use_agent for pages that heavily rely on JavaScript rendering after the initial page load.
