Introduction

Claude is Anthropic's AI assistant, available on the web, in the desktop app, and on mobile. Cowork is its agent for knowledge work, and it runs on all of those surfaces too. Connected to your apps, Claude can work with your files and services to accomplish complex tasks on your behalf.

This guide walks you through the easiest and most secure way to connect your Browser Use account to Claude via Composio Connect, enabling it to capture screenshots of checkout pages hourly, fill and submit job application forms, scrape product prices across competitor sites, and more such actions on your behalf without compromising your account security.

Setup is the same on Claude Web, Desktop, and Cowork, and you only need to do it once. The connector is tied to your account, so it's available in all three.

3. Connect your Browser Use account

Back in Claude, ask it to connect to Browser Use or give it any Browser Use-related task.

For example, ask Claude to:

  • "Capture screenshots of checkout pages hourly"
  • "Fill and submit job application forms"
  • "Scrape product prices across competitor sites"

It will prompt you to authenticate and authorize access.

That's it. Composio's tools are now available in Claude, and your Browser Use account is ready to use.

What is the Browser Use Claude Connector, and what's possible with it?

The Browser Use MCP server is an implementation of the Model Context Protocol that connects your AI agent and assistants like Claude, Cursor, etc directly to your Browser Use account. It provides structured and secure access so your agent can perform Browser Use operations on your behalf.

Troubleshooting

1. Why does Claude not use the Composio connector for Browser Use?

The connector can show as connected, but Claude must use it in each Browser Use conversation.

  • Click + at the lower left of the chat, or type /.
  • Hover Connectors.
  • Turn on Composio.
  • Ask Claude to connect to Browser Use again.

2. Why does Claude show an MCP server error before Browser Use connects?

Claude can show Couldn't reach the MCP server or Authorization with the MCP server failed when you add the connector for Browser Use.

  • Check that the connector URL is https://connect.composio.dev/mcp.
  • Connectors run from Anthropic's cloud, so your device network is usually not the problem.
  • Add the connector again from Customize > Connectors, then ask Claude to connect Browser Use.
  • If it fails again, send the error and the ofid_ reference id to support@composio.dev.

3. Why does the Browser Use authorization link not work?

The Composio connector is one server. Your Browser Use account connects separately when Claude asks for it.

  • If the browser does not open, or the link expires, ask Claude to retry the Browser Use connection.
  • Composio creates a fresh Browser Use authorization link.
  • Open that link in your browser and finish the Browser Use sign-in.

4. Why do Browser Use actions fail after they worked before?

The Browser Use connection can expire or lose permission.

  • Ask Claude to inspect the Browser Use connection.
  • If the connection is unhealthy, disconnect it when Claude prompts you.
  • Reconnect the Browser Use account and retry the action.
  • If Claude shows a permission prompt, approve it before Claude changes data in Browser Use.
  • If the action still fails with a permission error, check that the connected account has that permission in Browser Use itself.

5. How do I switch to a different Browser Use account?

Claude can manage the Browser Use connection for you.

  • Ask Claude to disconnect or delete the current Browser Use account.
  • Ask Claude to connect Browser Use again.
  • Open the new Composio authorization link for Browser Use.
  • Sign in with the other Browser Use account in the browser.
  • After the account connects, ask Claude to retry the Browser Use task.

6. Why is my Browser Use connection missing in Claude Desktop or on a Team plan?

The connector belongs to your Claude account, so your Browser Use connection works in Claude Web, Desktop, and Cowork.

  • In Claude Desktop, open Customize > Connectors.
  • Next to Composio, click ⋮ and click Clear cache.
  • If Browser Use tools still do not appear, click ⋮, disconnect, remove the connector, and add it again.
  • On Team or Enterprise, an Owner or Primary Owner must enable the connector before you can connect Browser Use.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

With a standalone Browser Use MCP server, the agents and LLMs can only access a fixed set of Browser Use tools tied to that server. However, with the Composio Tool Router, agents can dynamically load tools from Browser Use and many other apps based on the task at hand, all through a single MCP endpoint.

Yes, you can. Claude Cowork fully supports MCP integration. You get structured tool calling, message history handling, and model orchestration while Tool Router takes care of discovering and serving the right Browser Use tools.

Yes, absolutely. You can configure which Browser Use scopes and actions are allowed when connecting your account to Composio. You can also bring your own OAuth credentials or API configuration so you keep full control over what the agent can do.

All sensitive data such as tokens, keys, and configuration is fully encrypted at rest and in transit. Composio is SOC 2 Type 2 compliant and follows strict security practices so your Browser Use data and credentials are handled as safely as possible.
