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.

        if Path('/.dockerenv').exists() or 'docker' in Path('/proc/1/cgroup').read_text().lower():
File ships in the package but is absent from the source [пакет] browser_use/realtimex/__init__.py:1, [пакет] browser_use/realtimex/env_loader.py:1
этот файл ставится пользователю, но в репозитории его нет
            proc = subprocess.Popen(command, stdin=subprocess.PIPE, stdout=subprocess.PIPE, stderr=subprocess.PIPE)
                    download_path = os.path.join(downloads_dir, final_filename)

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 browser-use -- uvx realtimex-browser-use
~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "browser-use": {
      "args": [
        "realtimex-browser-use"
      ],
      "command": "uvx"
    }
  }
}
~/.codex/config.toml
[mcp_servers.browser-use]
command = "uvx"
args = ["realtimex-browser-use"]
.cursor/mcp.json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "browser-use": {
      "args": [
        "realtimex-browser-use"
      ],
      "command": "uvx"
    }
  }
}
.vscode/mcp.json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "browser-use": {
      "args": [
        "realtimex-browser-use"
      ],
      "command": "uvx"
    }
  }
}

This one needs environment variables set before it will start: OPENAI_API_KEY (OpenAI API key for LLM operations). The author declared them in the registry entry; get the values from the project itself.

Browser Use — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

Why is there no uptime for Browser Use?
Browser Use 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 realtimex-browser-use was installed 44 times last week.
How do I connect Browser Use?
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 realtimex-browser-use straight from pypi; nothing to host, nothing to sign up for.
How many people use Browser Use?
The pypi package realtimex-browser-use was installed 44 times in the last week. Week over week that is -41%. We show installs rather than GitHub stars on purpose: a star is a bookmark, an install is someone actually running it.
Is Browser Use open source?
Yes — it is published under the MIT licence, written in Python and 0 stars on GitHub. The source link is on this page, so you can read exactly what it does with your data before you connect it.
