Access Kernel's cloud-based browsers and app actions via MCP (remote HTTP + OAuth).
Kernel MCP server is a hosted integration for AI assistants that speak the Model Context Protocol. Access Kernel's cloud-based browsers and app actions via MCP (remote HTTP + OAuth).
🌐 Use instantly at https://mcp.onkernel.com/mcp — no installation required!
The Kernel MCP Server bridges AI assistants (like Claude, Cursor, or other MCP-compatible tools) with the Kernel platform, enabling them to:
Being a remote server, there is no local install. You register the endpoint with your client, authorise it once, and the tools appear.
Once Kernel is connected, these are the calls the assistant has available:
manage_browsers — Create, update, list, get, and delete browser sessions, and read archived telemetry for active or deleted sessions. Supports headless/stealth modesmanage_profiles — Setup (with guided live browser session), search/list with pagination, get, and delete browser profiles for persisting cookies and loginsmanage_projects — Create, list, get, update, and delete organization projects. Inspect and update per-project resource limitsmanage_api_keys — Create, list, get, update, and delete org-wide or project-scoped API keys. Create returns the plaintext key oncemanage_browser_pools — Create, list, get, delete, and flush pools of pre-warmed browsers. Acquire and release browsers from poolsmanage_proxies — Create, list, get, check, and delete proxy configurations (datacenter, ISP, residential, mobile, custom)manage_replays — Start, stop, and list MP4 video replay recordings for a browser session. Session-scoped: start once, run your automation, then stop. Requires a paidmanage_extensions — List and delete uploaded browser extensionsmanage_apps — List/search apps, invoke actions, get/list/delete deployments, and get invocation resultsmanage_auth_connections — Create, list, get, delete managed auth connections; start login flows (returns a hosted URL and live view); submit MFA codes or SSO selectionsmanage_credentials — Create, list, get, update, and delete stored credentials; fetch a current TOTP code for credentials with a configured totp_secretmanage_credential_providers — Create, list, get, update, and delete external credential providers (e.g. 1Password); list available items and test the provider connectionAmong the browser automation options, the useful question is rarely "what can it do" but "what does it cost you to run" — permissions, credentials, and how much of your context its toolset consumes. Kernel's toolset — manage_browsers, manage_profiles, manage_projects and 11 more — is a fair guide to whether it matches your workflow. It is maintained by com.onkernel; worth a glance at recent repository activity before you build anything load-bearing on it.
SyncDev reviews every entry in this directory against the project's own documentation before publishing, and revisits them as servers change.
| Tool | What it does |

| manage_extensions | List and delete uploaded browser extensions. |
| manage_apps | List/search apps, invoke actions, get/list/delete deployments, and get invocation results. |
| manage_auth_connections | Create, list, get, delete managed auth connections; start login flows (returns a hosted URL and live view); submit MFA codes or SSO selections. |
| manage_credentials | Create, list, get, update, and delete stored credentials; fetch a current TOTP code for credentials with a configured totp_secret. |
| manage_credential_providers | Create, list, get, update, and delete external credential providers (e.g. 1Password); list available items and test the provider connection. |
| computer_action | Mouse, keyboard, clipboard, and screenshot controls for browser sessions (click, type, press_key, scroll, move, get_position, read_clipboard, write_clipboard, screenshot). |
