Is my browsing data kept private when using Mcp?

Yes. Automation runs entirely locally, so your browser activity is never sent to remote servers.

Do I need to log in to web services again when using Mcp?

No. Mcp uses your existing browser profile, so you remain logged into all your services.

What is the MCP Server?

Browser MCP is a Model Context Provider (MCP) server that allows AI applications to control your browser

The short version

Browser MCP is an MCP server + Chrome extension that allows you to automate your browser using AI applications like VS Code, Claude, Cursor, and Windsurf.

⚡ Fast: Automation happens locally on your machine, resulting in better performance without network latency
🔒 Private: Since automation happens locally, your browser activity stays on your device and isn't sent to remote servers
👤 Logged In: Uses your existing browser profile, keeping you logged into all your services
🥷🏼 Stealth: Avoids basic bot detection and CAPTCHAs by using your real browser fingerprint
