What is the Thinkrun MCP Server?

Browser control + session recording MCP for AI coding agents (Claude Code, Cursor) — real Chrome.

What you get

Stop screenshotting bugs and typing paragraphs to explain them. ThinkRun records any browser session — or lets your agent record what it built — and turns it into structured context your AI coding agent can act on: every click, the console, network requests, your voice narration, and screenshots, all time-synced. Not just a screenshot. Not just a video.
