A browser for Copilot in VS Code.

1. Install Browz and open it

   Download Browz; the MCP server ships inside the app.

2. Add Browz from a terminal

   This adds the server to your VS Code user profile, for every workspace.

   Terminalcode --add-mcp '{"name":"browz","type":"stdio","command":"/Applications/Browz.app/Contents/Resources/browz-mcp","args":[]}'

3. Or add it to one workspace

   Put this in .vscode/mcp.json. VS Code’s documentation now prefers a portable .mcp.json at the workspace root with an mcpServers key, and says the servers format below will be removed in February 2027; both are shown.

   .vscode/mcp.json{ "servers": { "browz": { "type": "stdio", "command": "/Applications/Browz.app/Contents/Resources/browz-mcp", "args": [] } } }

   File: .vscode/mcp.json

   .mcp.json (portable format){ "mcpServers": { "browz": { "type": "stdio", "command": "/Applications/Browz.app/Contents/Resources/browz-mcp", "args": [], "tools": [ "*" ] } } }

4. Start it and check

   Run MCP: List Servers from the Command Palette, start Browz if it is stopped, then open Chat in agent mode and check that the Browz tools are listed under the tools button.

5. Remote (beta)

   To reach Browz on another computer through the hosted server, VS Code signs you in with your Browz account.

   .vscode/mcp.json{ "servers": { "browz": { "type": "http", "url": "https://mcp.gobrowz.com/mcp" } } }

   File: .vscode/mcp.json

Config format from VS Code MCP configuration reference, Use MCP servers in VS Code.

• The snippets use the macOS path of the server inside Browz. On Windows it is %LOCALAPPDATA%\Programs\Browz\browz-mcp.exe, on Linux /usr/lib/browz/browz-mcp; or use npx -y @browz/mcp, which finds it.
• The remote server at https://mcp.gobrowz.com/mcp is in free public beta: it needs the Browz app open with Remote control on, on a computer with a hardware security chip, and offers the profile, tab and page tools. See what it needs and what it offers.
• Browz has to be installed and open on the same computer: the local MCP server drives the app’s own profiles through its local API, and reads the app’s credentials itself, so no token goes in the config.
• A person completes sign-ins, 2FA codes and CAPTCHAs. The agent can pause with browz_request_human and hand you the profile’s window, then carry on in the same session. Browz never solves or bypasses CAPTCHAs.
• Use agents only where each site’s terms allow automated use, on accounts you are entitled to use. Our acceptable use policy applies to agents the same as to people.
• The MCP server is on every plan, Free included (5 profiles). How many agent sessions can be open at once depends on the plan: see pricing.
