What you can do with the Browserless MCP server

Ask your agent in plain language. Each of these maps to a real tool on the server.

  • Use the get page content tool in Browserless
  • Use the run performance audit tool in Browserless
  • Use the scrape page tool in Browserless
  • Use the generate pdf tool in Browserless
  • Use the take screenshot tool in Browserless
  • Use the web search tool in Browserless

Supported Tools

get_page_content

Get Page Content

Retrieve the fully rendered HTML of a web page after JavaScript execution. Provide a URL to navigate to, or supply raw HTML to render in the browser. Returns the complete DOM including dynamically generated content from single-page applications.

run_performance_audit

Run Performance Audit

Run a Google Lighthouse audit on a web page to analyze performance, accessibility, SEO, best practices, and PWA metrics. Filter by categories or specific audits to reduce response size. Returns audit scores and detailed metrics.

scrape_page

Scrape Page

Extract structured data from a fully rendered web page using CSS selectors. The page is loaded in a real browser with JavaScript execution, then elements matching your selectors are extracted with their text content, inner HTML, attributes, and bounding box positions.

generate_pdf

Generate PDF

Generate a PDF from a web page or raw HTML. Navigate to a URL or render provided HTML in a headless browser and export it as a PDF. Supports page formatting options including paper size, margins, headers/footers, background printing, and landscape orientation. Returns the PDF bytes as a Slate attachment with metadata in the tool output.

take_screenshot

Take Screenshot

Capture a screenshot of a web page or rendered HTML. Supports full-page captures, custom viewports, clipping regions, and multiple image formats (PNG, JPEG, WebP). Returns the image bytes as a Slate attachment with metadata in the tool output.

unblock_page

Unblock Page

Access a protected web page by bypassing basic bot detection mechanisms. Returns the page content, cookies, and/or a screenshot after unblocking. Useful for sites that block standard headless browser requests. For sites with advanced protections or interactive CAPTCHAs, BrowserQL may be needed instead.

run_function

Run Browser Function

Execute custom JavaScript/Puppeteer code in a headless browser context. Browserless sets up a browser and page, then runs your code with access to the Puppeteer `page` object. Use this for multi-step browser interactions like navigating, filling forms, clicking buttons, and extracting data within a single request.

manage_crawl

Manage Crawls

Start, inspect, list, or cancel Browserless Crawl jobs. Crawls asynchronously discover site URLs and scrape pages into structured, LLM-ready results.

map_site

Map Site URLs

Discover URLs on a website with Browserless Map. Returns a deduplicated list of pages with optional title and description metadata, with search relevance, sitemap behavior, geo-targeting, and URL filtering controls.

smart_scrape

Smart Scrape

Scrape a URL with Browserless Smart Scrape. Browserless automatically escalates from fast HTTP fetching to proxying, headless browser rendering, and page-gating CAPTCHA solving as needed. Returns requested HTML, markdown, links, and optional file attachments for screenshots or PDFs.

export_url

Export URL

Fetch a URL through Browserless and return its native content type as a Slate attachment. Use this to download unknown file types, PDFs, images, rendered HTML, or a ZIP containing a page and its linked resources.

download_file

Download File

Run custom Puppeteer code and return the file that Chrome downloads during execution. Use this for sites where the target file is produced after clicks, form interactions, or client-side Blob creation.

Connect Browserless to your AI client

Every client uses the same Magic MCP URL, and so does any other MCP client. Add it once and sign in with SSO.

  1. Enable Browserless in Metorial. In your Metorial portal, enable the Browserless MCP server and sign in with the account that owns the data. Access stays governed by your team policies.
  2. Add a custom connector. Open Customize, then Connectors. Select Add, then Custom, then Web.
  3. Paste your Metorial MCP URL. Name it Metorial, paste your Magic MCP URL (<your-magic-mcp-url>) and continue.
  4. Sign in. Select Add and sign in to load Browserless tools.

Run Browserless through the Metorial gateway

One governed layer for every app your agents reach, not a separate connector per tool.

  • Give Browserless and every other app to your whole team through one MCP gateway, behind your SSO.
  • Scope which teams and agents can use Browserless tools with role-based access control, and trace every call.
  • Prefer to run it yourself? Metorial is open source and self-hostable.
