# Browserless MCP

The **Browserless MCP** node connects your Flowise agents to [Browserless](https://browserless.io) through the Model Context Protocol (MCP). It enables browser automation capabilities such as web scraping, taking screenshots, generating PDFs, and more — all without managing headless browser infrastructure yourself.

***

## 1. Prerequisites

Before using the Browserless MCP node, you need:

* **A Browserless account**: sign up for free at [browserless.io](https://browserless.io).
* **An API Token**: obtain your token from the Browserless dashboard.

***

## 2. Setting Up Credentials

1. In Flowise, navigate to **Credentials** from the sidebar.
2. Click **Add Credential** and search for **Browserless API**.
3. Fill in the following field:

| Field         | Description                                   |
| ------------- | --------------------------------------------- |
| **API Token** | Your Browserless API token from the dashboard |

4. Click **Save**.

***

## 3. Adding the Browserless MCP Node

1. Open a chatflow in the Flowise canvas.
2. Add an **Agent** node (e.g., Tool Agent).
3. From the **Tools (MCP)** category, drag the **Browserless MCP** node onto the canvas.
4. Connect the Browserless MCP node's output to the Agent node's **Tools** input.
5. Configure the node (see next section).

## 4. Node Configuration

| Parameter              | Type                 | Required | Description                                                                                                                                                                                       |
| ---------------------- | -------------------- | -------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Connect Credential** | Credential selector  | Yes      | Select the Browserless API credential you created in Step 2.                                                                                                                                      |
| **Available Actions**  | Multi-select (async) | Yes      | After connecting your credential, click the **refresh** icon to load the list of available actions from the Browserless MCP server. Select the specific actions you want to expose to your agent. |

***

## 5. Selecting Actions

Once you provide a valid credential, click the **refresh** icon next to **Available Actions**. The node will connect to the Browserless MCP server and retrieve all available tools.

Each action is listed with:

* **Name:** the tool identifier
* **Description:** what the tool does

Select only the actions your agent needs. Fewer tools help the LLM make better decisions and reduce token usage.

***

## 6. Available Capabilities

The Browserless MCP server provides a range of browser automation tools, including:

* **Web scraping** — extract content from web pages
* **Screenshots** — capture page screenshots
* **PDF generation** — generate PDFs from web pages
* **Browser automation** — interact with pages programmatically

The full list of available actions is dynamically loaded from the MCP server when you refresh the **Available Actions** dropdown.
