Browserless MCP — wraps the Browserless headless-Chromium REST API (browserless.io)
Part of Pipeworx — an MCP gateway connecting AI agents to 1863+ live data sources. This is an independent, unofficial integration — not affiliated with, endorsed by, or published by the upstream provider.
| Tool | Description |
|---|---|
browserless_content | Render a URL in headless Chromium and return the fully-executed HTML (after JavaScript runs) — use this when a plain fetch returns an empty shell or JS-rendered SPA. Example: browserless_content({ url: "https://example.com", _apiKey: "your-token" }) |
browserless_scrape | Extract structured data from a rendered page using CSS selectors. Returns text, inner HTML, attributes and geometry for every matched element. Example: browserless_scrape({ url: "https://news.ycombinator.com", elements: [{ selector: ".titleline a" }], _apiKey: "your-token" }) |
browserless_screenshot | Capture a screenshot of a rendered page. Returns the image byte-length and metadata only (the binary PNG is NOT inlined). Example: browserless_screenshot({ url: "https://example.com", fullPage: true, _apiKey: "your-token" }) |
browserless_smart_scrape | AI-assisted extraction: tries a plain HTTP fetch first and falls back to a full headless browser, returning content in the requested formats (html, markdown, links, screenshot, pdf). Best when you just want clean page content and do not know the right selectors. Example: browserless_smart_scrape({ url: "https://example.com", formats: ["markdown", "links"], _apiKey: "your-token" }) |
Add to your MCP client (Claude Desktop, Cursor, Windsurf, etc.):
{
"mcpServers": {
"browserless": {
"url": "https://gateway.pipeworx.io/browserless/mcp"
}
}
}
tools/list at https://gateway.pipeworx.io/browserless/mcp returns the tools in the table
above plus the shared Pipeworx meta-tools — ask_pipeworx,
discover_tools, search_within, remember/recall and the rest of the
gateway-wide set. So the tool count you see is larger than this table: a
single-pack endpoint currently lists roughly 30 shared tools alongside the
pack's own. The connection's initialize response states its exact scope, and
is the authoritative answer for a given day.
This is deliberate, not multiplexing by accident. The meta-tools are what let a
scoped connection answer a question this pack does not cover — via
ask_pipeworx, which routes across the whole catalog — without you adding a
second MCP server. There is currently no way to mount a pack endpoint without
them; if the extra schemas cost you more context than the routing is worth,
connect to the full gateway once rather than to several pack endpoints.
Or connect to the full Pipeworx gateway to get every pack's tools listed directly, instead of just this one's:
{
"mcpServers": {
"pipeworx": {
"url": "https://gateway.pipeworx.io/mcp"
}
}
}
Both URLs reach the same gateway and the same 1863+ data sources. The
only difference is which pack's tools are listed directly; ask_pipeworx
reaches all of them from either one.
This pack takes your own API key (_apiKey) — we don't front one for it, so there's no curl here that would run without it. Inspect any tool: GET https://gateway.pipeworx.io/v1/tools/browserless_content. Find one: POST https://gateway.pipeworx.io/v1/tools/search_packs with {"query":"..."}.
@pipeworx/mcp-browserless is a local stdio bridge to the Pipeworx gateway: your MCP client
starts it with npx, and it forwards every call to the same
https://gateway.pipeworx.io/browserless/mcp endpoint shown above. It needs network access;
there is no offline mode.
