Connect BrowserOS to n8n to build automated workflows. Your n8n AI agents can control the browser—open pages, click buttons, extract data, and fill forms.

​
What You Can Build

  • Lead enrichment — Pull a list of LinkedIn URLs from a spreadsheet and scrape each profile
  • Price monitoring — Check product prices hourly and send a Slack alert when they drop
  • Form automation — Auto-fill job applications using data from your CRM
  • Data extraction — Scrape authenticated pages that require login

​
Prerequisites

Before you start:
  • BrowserOS running with MCP server enabled (Settings → BrowserOS as MCP)
  • n8n running locally (npx n8n or install globally with npm install -g n8n)

​
Setup

​
1. Install the MCP community node

In n8n, go to Settings → Community Nodes and install n8n-nodes-mcp: Installing n8n-nodes-mcp community node

​
2. Create a workflow

Build a workflow with these nodes:
  1. Add a Chat Trigger node (receives your messages)
  2. Add an AI Agent node and connect it to the trigger
  3. Add a Chat Model under the AI Agent (e.g., OpenAI, Claude)
  4. Add an MCP Client Tool under the AI Agent
