## Introduction

This guide walks you through connecting Browserless to the Claude Agent SDK using the Composio tool router. By the end, you'll have a working Browserless agent that can download all invoices from your dashboard, extract product details from a competitor's site, take a screenshot of your homepage after login through natural language commands.
This guide will help you understand how to give your Claude Agent SDK agent real control over a Browserless account through Composio's Browserless MCP server.
Before we dive in, let's take a quick look at the key ideas and tools involved.

## TL;DR

Here's what you'll learn:
- Get and set up your Claude/Anthropic and Composio API keys
- Install the necessary dependencies
- Initialize Composio and create a Tool Router session for Browserless
- Configure an AI agent that can use Browserless as a tool
- Run a live chat session where you can ask the agent to perform Browserless operations

## What is Claude Agent SDK?

The Claude Agent SDK is Anthropic's official framework for building AI agents powered by Claude. It provides a streamlined interface for creating agents with MCP tool support and conversation management.
Key features include:
- Native MCP Support: Built-in support for Model Context Protocol servers
- Permission Modes: Control tool execution permissions
- Streaming Responses: Real-time response streaming for interactive applications
- Context Manager: Clean async context management for sessions

## What is the Browserless MCP server, and what's possible with it?

The Browserless MCP server is an implementation of the Model Context Protocol that connects your AI agent and assistants like Claude, Cursor, etc directly to your Browserless account. It provides structured and secure access to browser automation tools, so your agent can perform actions like fetching web content, scraping data, generating PDFs, taking screenshots, and running custom browser scripts on your behalf.
- Dynamic web content extraction: Instruct your agent to fetch full HTML content—including JavaScript-rendered pages—from any website.
- Automated web scraping: Let your agent extract structured data from pages using CSS selectors, returning results in convenient JSON format.
- On-demand PDF generation: Have your agent instantly generate PDFs from any webpage, with customizable parameters like format and filename.
- Website screenshot capture: Direct your agent to take high-quality screenshots of entire pages or specific sections, supporting multiple image formats and options.
- Custom browser automations: Empower your agent to execute tailored Puppeteer scripts, enabling powerful workflows like file downloads or bypassing bot protections.

## Supported Tools

| Tool slug | Name | Description |
|---|---|---|
| `BROWSERLESS_DOWNLOAD_FILE` | Download file using Puppeteer script | This tool allows downloading files that Chrome has downloaded during the execution of puppeteer code. It sets up a blank page, creates a fresh download directory, injects the provided code, and executes it. Once the script finishes, any downloaded files from Chromium are returned with the appropriate content-type header. |
| `BROWSERLESS_EXECUTE_CUSTOM_FUNCTION` | Execute Custom Function | A tool that allows executing custom Puppeteer scripts via HTTP requests. This endpoint enables users to run browser automation tasks without managing their own infrastructure. |
| `BROWSERLESS_FETCH_HTML_CONTENT` | Fetch HTML Content | This tool fetches the complete HTML content of a webpage using Browserless's content API. It's designed to retrieve the full HTML contents of any website, including dynamically generated content. |
| `BROWSERLESS_GENERATE_PDF` | Generate PDF from webpage | This tool generates a PDF from a specified webpage using browserless's PDF generation API. It allows specifying the URL of the webpage along with parameters such as format, filename, and waitUntil options to control the PDF generation process. |
| `BROWSERLESS_SCRAPE_CONTENT` | Scrape webpage content using CSS selectors | A tool to extract structured content from a webpage by specifying CSS selectors. The tool navigates to the specified URL, waits for the page to load (including parsing and executing JavaScript), and returns the selected elements in a structured JSON format. |
| `BROWSERLESS_TAKE_SCREENSHOT` | Take Screenshot | A tool that captures a screenshot of a webpage using browserless's screenshot API. The tool takes a URL and returns either a PNG or JPEG image. It includes options for full page capture, image type, quality, and clipping coordinates. |
| `BROWSERLESS_UNBLOCK_PROTECTED_CONTENT` | Unblock Protected Content | This tool provides access to content from websites that implement bot protection mechanisms. It is designed to bypass various types of protection (such as CAPTCHA and bot detections) and return the HTML content of the protected webpage, with optional customization through parameters like waitFor, timeout, and stealth mode. |

## Creating MCP Server - Stand-alone vs Composio SDK

The Browserless MCP server is an implementation of the Model Context Protocol that connects your AI agent to Browserless. It provides structured and secure access so your agent can perform Browserless operations on your behalf through a secure, permission-based interface.
With Composio's managed implementation, you don't have to create your own developer app. For production, if you're building an end product, we recommend using your own credentials. The managed server helps you prototype fast and go from 0-1 faster.

## Step-by-step Guide

### 1. Prerequisites

Before starting, make sure you have:
- Composio API Key and Claude/Anthropic API Key
- Primary know-how of Claude Agents SDK
- A Browserless account
- Some knowledge of Python

### 1. Getting API Keys for Claude/Anthropic and Composio

Claude/Anthropic API Key
- Go to the [Anthropic Console](https://console.anthropic.com/settings/organization/api-keys) and create an API key. You'll need credits to use the models.
- Keep the API key safe.
Composio API Key
- Log in to the [Composio dashboard](https://dashboard.composio.dev?utm_source=toolkits&utm_medium=framework_docs).
- Navigate to your API settings and generate a new API key.
- Store this key securely as you'll need it for authentication.

### 2. Install dependencies

No description provided.
```python
pip install composio-anthropic claude-agent-sdk python-dotenv
```

```typescript
npm install @anthropic-ai/claude-agent-sdk @composio/core dotenv
```

### 3. Set up environment variables

Create a .env file in your project root.
What's happening:
- COMPOSIO_API_KEY authenticates with Composio
- USER_ID identifies the user for session management
- ANTHROPIC_API_KEY authenticates with Anthropic/Claude
```bash
COMPOSIO_API_KEY=your_composio_api_key_here
USER_ID=your_user_id_here
ANTHROPIC_API_KEY=your_anthropic_api_key_here
```

### 4. Import dependencies

No description provided.
```python
import asyncio
from claude_agent_sdk import ClaudeSDKClient, ClaudeAgentOptions
import os
from composio import Composio
from dotenv import load_dotenv

load_dotenv()
```

## Conclusion

You've successfully built a Claude Agent SDK agent that can interact with Browserless through Composio's Tool Router.
Key features:
- Native MCP support through Claude's agent framework
- Streaming responses for real-time interaction
- Permission bypass for smooth automated workflows
You can extend this by adding more toolkits, implementing custom business logic, or building a web interface around the agent.

## Frequently Asked Questions

### What are the differences in Tool Router MCP and Browserless MCP?

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

### Can I use Tool Router MCP with Claude Agent SDK?

Yes, you can. Claude Agent SDK 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 Browserless tools.

### Can I manage the permissions and scopes for Browserless while using Tool Router?

Yes, absolutely. You can configure which Browserless 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.

### How safe is my data with Composio Tool Router?

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 Browserless data and credentials are handled as safely as possible.
