Setting up with Highlight

This MCP is not yet compatible with Highlight’s one-click setup. However, you can still use it with Highlight by following these steps:

  1. Download and install Highlight from highlightai.com/download
  2. Navigate to the plugins tab and select "Add Custom Plugin"
  3. Configure the plugin with the settings below
    Plugin Name Browser Automation
    Command (node, npx, python, etc.) uv
    Arguments
    • Argument 1 --directory
    • Argument 2 /ABSOLUTE/PATH/TO/mcp
    • Argument 3 run
    • Argument 4 browser-use.py

    Please refer to the README for specific instructions on how to obtain API keys or other required environment variables.

  4. Enable "Start Automatically" if you want the plugin to start when Highlight launches

From the repository

The agent provides two main tools:

1. get_planner_state: Retrieves the current browser state and planning context
2. execute_actions: Executes planned actions in the browser

To install Browser Automation Agent for Claude Desktop automatically via Smithery:

npx -y @smithery/cli install @ashley-ha/mcp-manus --client claude

1. Clone the repository:

git clone <repository-url>

cd mcp

2. Set up the Python environment using uv:

uv venv

source .venv/bin/activate

uv sync

Create or modify your Claude Desktop configuration file:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "browser-use": {
      "command": "uv",
      "args": [
        "--directory",
        "/ABSOLUTE/PATH/TO/mcp",
        "run",
        "browser-use.py"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Replace /ABSOLUTE/PATH/TO/browser-use with the absolute path to your project directory.

The agent is configured to use Google Chrome with the following default settings:
- Non-headless mode for development
- Window size: 1280x1100
- Disabled security features for testing
- Recording path: ./tmp/recordings

get_planner_state

Retrieves the current browser state and planning context.

execute_actions

Executes planned actions in the browser.
