What the code does

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.

    r = spawnSync([cmd, ...args].map(cmdQuote).join(" "), { ...opts, shell: true });

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.

Connect this server

This server runs on your own machine — install it with the package manager and the client starts it for you. Package name taken from the official registry entry.

run in your terminal
claude mcp add usable-browser-agent -- npx -y usable-browser-agent
~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "usable-browser-agent": {
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "usable-browser-agent"
      ],
      "command": "npx"
    }
  }
}

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "usable-browser-agent": {
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "usable-browser-agent"
      ],
      "command": "npx"

        "usable-browser-agent"
      ],
      "command": "npx"
    }
  }
}

This one needs environment variables set before it will start: UBA_PORT (Local WebSocket port the browser extension connects to (default 8876).). The author declared them in the registry entry; get the values from the project itself.

Usable Browser Agent — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

Why is there no uptime for Usable Browser Agent?
Usable Browser Agent 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 npm package usable-browser-agent was installed 46 times last week.
How do I connect Usable Browser Agent?
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 usable-browser-agent straight from npm; nothing to host, nothing to sign up for.
How many people use Usable Browser Agent?
The npm package usable-browser-agent was installed 46 times in the last week. Week over week that is -71%. We show installs rather than GitHub stars on purpose: a star is a bookmark, an install is someone actually running it.
Is Usable Browser Agent open source?
No, and the distinction matters: it ships its own licence file rather than a standard open-source licence. That makes it source-available — you can read the code, but the terms are the author's own, not one of the recognised open-source licences. Read them before you build on it.
