Use BrowserOS with Claude Code

BrowserOS is the best browser for AI coding agents. It comes with a built-in MCP server that lets Claude Code control your browser — open tabs, extract page content, fill forms, take screenshots, and automate any web task.

Unlike Chrome DevTools MCP which requires setting up debug profiles and running separate servers, BrowserOS MCP works out of the box. Just copy the URL from settings and connect.
