Browserless MCP
MCP Server for Browserless - scrape pages, take screenshots, generate PDFs, and more
The Browserless MCP node connects your Flowise agents to Browserless 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.
An API Token: obtain your token from the Browserless dashboard.
2. Setting Up Credentials
In Flowise, navigate to Credentials from the sidebar.
Click Add Credential and search for Browserless API.
Fill in the following field:
API Token
Your Browserless API token from the dashboard
Click Save.
3. Adding the Browserless MCP Node
Open a chatflow in the Flowise canvas.
Add an Agent node (e.g., Tool Agent).
From the Tools (MCP) category, drag the Browserless MCP node onto the canvas.
Connect the Browserless MCP node's output to the Agent node's Tools input.
Configure the node (see next section).
4. Node Configuration

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.

Web scraping — extract content from web pages
Screenshots — capture page screenshots

Browser automation — interact with pages programmatically
