Capabilities

What this server is able to do. For an MCP server this is often the job itself — a terminal server runs commands because that is what it is for. Listed so you know what you are plugging in, not as an accusation.

Touches key and credential files servers/files-com/_models.py:1641, servers/files-com/server.py:8430

    server_host_key: str | None = Field(default=None, description="Remote server SSH host key in OpenSSH format (as would appear in ~/.ssh/known_hosts). When provided, the server's host key must match exactly.")

Is this your server and something here is wrong? Tell us — corrections are free and do not require a plan.

This code can reach further than it looks

We found places where it runs commands, builds paths or queries from values it is given. None of that is a flaw by itself — it becomes one when the code changes, and code changes quietly between releases. We re-read it on every one.

Browserbase — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

Why is there no uptime for Browserbase?

Browserbase runs on your own machine over stdio — there is no network address to reach, so uptime cannot be measured for it by anyone. What can be measured is adoption: the pypi package mcparmory-browserbase was installed 241 times last week.

How do I connect Browserbase?

Copy the ready config from this page — we generate it for Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Codex, Cursor and VS Code, each with the file path that client actually reads. It runs locally, so the command pulls mcparmory-browserbase straight from pypi; nothing to host, nothing to sign up for.

How many people use Browserbase?

The pypi package mcparmory-browserbase was installed 241 times in the last week. Week over week that is -21%. We show installs rather than GitHub stars on purpose: a star is a bookmark, an install is someone actually running it.

Is Browserbase open source?

We cannot say either way: written in Python, 31 stars on GitHub and 1 open issue, but we could not determine the licence, and without one the code is not open source by default.
