Introduction

Cursor is one of the leading AI-powered code editors. It is built to help developers write, understand, and refactor code faster with AI assistance built directly into the editor.

And in this guide, I will explain the easiest and most secure way to connect your Browserless account to Cursor via Composio Connect, so it can download all invoices from your dashboard, extract product details from a competitor's site, take a screenshot of your homepage after login, and more without ever putting your account credentials at risk.

Why Composio?

  • 1,000+ SaaS toolkits out of the box. Skip the work of building and maintaining integrations, Composio gives you instant access to a vast catalog of pre-built connectors.
  • One MCP server for every app. Connect any of your applications on demand through a single endpoint, rather than juggling a separate server for each app.
  • Smart, context-aware tool loading. Unlike traditional MCP servers that dump every available tool into the LLM context window, Composio searches for and loads only the tools relevant to the task at hand. A remote CLI workbench lets LLMs compose these tools into workflows for complex automation.

Connect Browserless to Cursor

Option 1

Click on this button.

↗Install in Cursor

Option 2

Add to your Cursor mcp.json

If option 1 does not work, do it manually.

Open .cursor/mcp.json in your project root (or ~/.cursor/mcp.json for global config) and add the following configuration:

bash
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "composio": {
      "url": "https://connect.composio.dev/mcp"
    }
  }
}

Authorize in your browser

Restart Cursor, then click "Connect" next to Composio in MCP Tools settings.

Connect your Browserless account

Back in Cursor, ask the agent to connect to Browserless or give it any Browserless-related task.

For example, ask it to:

  • "Download all invoices from your dashboard"
  • "Extract product details from a competitor's site"
  • "Take a screenshot of your homepage after login"

It will prompt you to authenticate and authorize access to Browserless.

That is it. Composio tools are now available in Cursor, and your Browserless account is ready to use.

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.

FAQ

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 Cursor?

Yes, you can. Cursor 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.
