## Introduction

Pi is a minimal, self-extensible coding agent that lives in your terminal — one agent loop over Claude, GPT-5, Gemini, Grok, DeepSeek, and 20+ other providers, with maximum extension surface and minimum product opinion. Its core ships four tools (read, write, edit, bash) and self-extends at runtime through skills, extensions, and packages.
This guide explains the easiest and most robust way to connect your Browserless account to Pi. You can do this through either Composio Connect CLI or Composio Connect MCP. Because Pi already runs shell commands as first-class tools and ships no built-in MCP, the CLI is the recommended path — it's faster to set up, needs no server config, and chains multi-step tasks more reliably. The MCP path is also fully supported through Pi's official pi-mcp-adapter extension.

## TL;DR

### What is Composio Connect?
Composio Connect is a consumer offering that lets anyone plug 1,000+ applications directly into their agent harness — including Pi. It can:
- Search and load tools from relevant toolkits on-demand, reducing context usage.
- Chain multiple tools to accomplish complex workflows via a remote workbench, without excessive back-and-forth with the LLM.
- Manage app authentication end-to-end with zero manual overhead.

## Connect Browserless to Pi

### Prerequisites: Install Pi
Pi needs Node.js 18+ (Node 22 recommended). Install the agent globally with npm:

```bash
npm install -g --ignore-scripts @earendil-works/pi-coding-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. 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 and assistants like Pi, Claude, Cursor, etc. directly to your Browserless account. It provides structured and secure access so your agent can act on your behalf using natural language commands.

## Complete Code

None listed.

## Conclusion

### Way Forward
With Browserless connected, Pi can now act on your behalf whenever you ask it to.
From here, you can extend Pi further:
- Connect more apps: Calendar, Slack, Notion, Linear, and hundreds of others are available through the same Composio Connect setup. Each new integration compounds what Pi can do for you.
- Build workflows across tools: Once multiple apps are connected, Pi can chain actions together — turn an email into a calendar invite, a Slack message into a Linear ticket, or a meeting note into a follow-up draft.
- Lean into Pi's extension surface: Wrap common Browserless flows as Pi skills or prompt templates so recurring tasks become one-line commands, and use directTools in the MCP adapter to promote your most-used Browserless tools into Pi's tool list directly.

## 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 Pi?

Yes, you can. Pi 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.
