Claude Cowork is Anthropic's agent for general knowledge work. It can use your computer, files, and connected applications to complete longer-running tasks across your work tools. With Composio Connect, Cowork can securely access apps like Browserless through MCP without you sharing account credentials directly with the agent. ## 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.

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 Cowork? 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 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. --- [See all toolkits](https://composio.dev/toolkits) · [Composio docs](https://docs.composio.dev/llms.txt)
