Fresh install done. Open a new tab. This is the walkthrough for what you see next.

​
What you will see

The cockpit greets you with a short motion demo, a single primary CTA to set up the MCP endpoint, a copyable starter prompt, and a three-step reminder strip. Two visual states, depending on where you are:
  • First run: no MCP connections, no activity. The MCP CTA pulses. Step 01 highlights.
  • Waiting: MCP is connected, no activity yet. The CTA relabels to View MCP endpoint. Step 01 marks done. Step 02 highlights. A live banner tells you the cockpit is listening.

​
Step 1: install the MCP into your agent

Click Set up MCP endpoint. You will land on the MCP install board. Find your agent’s row (Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, VS Code, Zed, OpenCode, Antigravity) and click Install. BrowserClaw writes the server URL into your agent’s config file. Restart the agent.

Full setup per harness

Step-by-step for every supported client, plus the manual URL install for anything else.

​
Step 2: paste the starter prompt

Copy this into your agent and press enter: 
Use BrowserClaw. Book me the cheapest morning flight from SFO to NYC next Friday.
Why this prompt: it exercises multi-tab navigation, form input, and result comparison. Three of BrowserClaw’s most-used tool paths in one task. You will see all of them light up in the cockpit.
The cockpit page has a Copy button next to this exact prompt. You do not need to type it out.

​
Step 3: watch it land

Come back to the BrowserClaw new tab. Within seconds of your agent starting the task, a row appears under Recent activity:
  • Left: the agent’s name (claude-code, cursor, and so on).
  • Middle: what it is doing (browsing sfo to nyc, morning).
  • Right: a live status dot and a just now timestamp.
Click the row to open the task detail. You can watch the agent’s timeline while it works, or replay any past step frame by frame.

​
What happens after the first run

Once the cockpit has one activity row, the onboarding block disappears. From then on, every new tab lands on the populated cockpit: Running now at the top for live agents, Recent activity below for finished sessions.
