UBOS Asset Marketplace: browser-use MCP Server - Unleash AI-Powered Browser Automation

In today’s rapidly evolving digital landscape, businesses are constantly seeking innovative solutions to streamline their operations, enhance productivity, and gain a competitive edge. The integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI) into various aspects of business processes has emerged as a game-changer, offering unprecedented opportunities for automation, optimization, and decision-making. At UBOS, we are committed to empowering businesses with cutting-edge AI solutions that drive tangible results. That’s why we are thrilled to introduce the browser-use MCP (Model Context Protocol) Server – a revolutionary tool that combines the power of AI with the versatility of browser automation.

What is the browser-use MCP Server?

The browser-use MCP Server is an AI-driven browser automation server that implements the Model Context Protocol (MCP). MCP is an open protocol standardizing how applications provide context to Large Language Models (LLMs). It allows AI models to access and interact with external data sources and tools. It enables seamless communication between AI agents and web browsers, allowing for natural language control and intelligent web research. Built upon the foundation of the browser-use/web-ui project, this MCP server adapts core browser automation logic and configuration patterns to provide a robust and flexible solution for a wide range of applications.

The browser-use MCP Server acts as a bridge, allowing AI models to access and interact with web browsers using natural language commands. This opens up a world of possibilities for automating tasks, extracting data, and conducting research on the web.

Examples of AI-Driven Browser Automation with browser-use MCP Server

To further illustrate the capabilities of the browser-use MCP Server, let’s explore some specific examples of how it can be used in different scenarios:

1. Market Research: A marketing team can use the run_deep_search tool to conduct market research on a specific product or industry. The server can automatically gather data from various sources, such as news articles, blog posts, and social media feeds, and generate a report summarizing the key trends and insights. They can define the research_task to be something like, “Analyze the current trends in the electric vehicle market” and set the max_search_iterations and max_query_per_iteration parameters to control the depth of the search.
2. Competitor Analysis: A business can use the run_browser_agent tool to monitor its competitors’ websites and track changes in their pricing, product offerings, and marketing strategies. The AI agent can be instructed to navigate to specific competitor websites, extract relevant data, and generate a report highlighting any significant changes.
3. Customer Support Automation: A customer support team can use the run_browser_agent tool to automate responses to common customer inquiries. The AI agent can be trained to understand natural language questions and provide relevant answers by accessing information from the company’s website or knowledge base. Example task could be, “Find the return policy for order #12345 on example.com” with add_infos providing the specific website credentials if needed.
4. Content Aggregation: A news organization can use the run_deep_search tool to automatically aggregate news articles from various sources and create a daily news digest. The server can be configured to search for articles on specific topics and generate a summary of the most important stories. Setting MCP_RESEARCH_MAX_ITERATIONS and MCP_RESEARCH_MAX_QUERY allows for a controlled and focused search.
5. SEO Optimization: An SEO specialist can use the run_browser_agent tool to analyze the search engine rankings of their website and identify areas for improvement. The AI agent can be instructed to perform keyword research, analyze competitor websites, and generate a report with recommendations for optimizing the website’s content and structure.
