This plugin connects Claude to an actual web browser, either the user's local Chrome instance or a browser hosted by Browser Use Cloud, so it can perform tasks like browsing, scraping, form filling, site testing, and screenshot capture. According to the README, it works by registering an MCP server that launches Browser Use CLI 3.0 through uvx, automatically pulling the current release each session so there is no code or skill content to keep in sync. The server exposes two tools: one for driving the browser programmatically (clicks, navigation, DOM extraction, low-level CDP access) and one for taking screenshots. Local Chrome control requires enabling remote debugging in the browser, while using the cloud browser requires authentication via login or an API key. The plugin itself contains only the launch configuration, with the actual browser automation logic handled by the external Browser Use CLI.
