Remote Browser

Remote Browser is an open-source, self-hosted browser orchestration system for AI agent harness engineering.

It launches and manages multiple isolated, containerized Chrome instances with CDP (Chrome Devtools Protocol) support for scalable web automation. Remote Browser is designed to integrate with AI agent runtimes and browser tools, and works with OpenClaw, Hermes Agent, etc.

It also bundles an MCP server for extracting personal data from many services: Amazon order history, Garmin activity stats, Zillow favorites, and more. This MCP server works with Claude Code, LM Studio, Gemini CLI, and many more.

Quickstart

Remote Browser is a Python app. To run it, you need uv and Podman:

uvx remotebrowser

Then open http://localhost:23456.

MCP

Standard config works with most tools:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "remotebrowser-mcp": {
      "url": "http://127.0.0.1:23456/mcp"
    }
  }
}

Claude Code

Use the Claude Code CLI to add the MCP server:

claude mcp add --transport http remotebrowser-mcp http://localhost:23456/mcp

Claude Desktop

Follow the MCP install guide, use the standard config above.

Gemini CLI

Follow the MCP install guide, use the standard config above.

LM Studio

Go to Program in the right sidebar -> Install -> Edit mcp.json. Use the standard config above.

VS Code

Follow the MCP install guide, use the standard config above.

API

Start a new browser

POST /api/v1/browsers/{browser_id} creates a new browser with the specified browser_id. The browser runs in a container.

Example: curl -X POST localhost:8300/api/v1/browsers/xyz123 creates a container named chromium-xyz123 and returns:

{ "container_name": "chromium-xyz123", "status": "created" }

Stop a browser

DELETE /api/v1/browsers/{browser_id} terminates the browser with the specified browser_id and returns the container name. Returns HTTP 404 if the browser ID is not found.

Example: curl -X DELETE localhost:8300/api/v1/browsers/xyz123 terminates the container named chromium-xyz123 and returns:

{ "container_name": "chromium-xyz123", "status": "deleted" }

Query a browser

GET /api/v1/browsers/{browser_id} returns information about the browser with the specified browser_id. Returns HTTP 404 if the browser is not found.

Example: curl localhost:8300/api/v1/browsers/xyz123 returns:

{ "last_activity_timestamp": 1772069081 }

List all browsers

GET /api/v1/browsers returns a JSON array of all running browser IDs.

Example: curl localhost:8300/api/v1/browsers returns:

["xyz123", "abc234"]
