Give coding agents Browserbase workflows for browsing websites, testing interfaces, researching companies and deploying browser automation.
Browserbase Skills is a marketplace and skill collection for coding agents. It provides guidance for interacting with websites, investigating browser failures, building browser integrations and researching companies. Some workflows use a local browser; others use Browserbase cloud services.
In Claude Code, installed skills can load automatically when relevant to your request, or you can choose one explicitly from the slash menu. Install a marketplace plugin for its declared skill, or use the Skills CLI to select from the wider collection. Runtime requirements depend on the task: local browsing uses Chrome or Chromium, while remote browser sessions and cloud API operations require a Browserbase API key.
Ask ui-test to examine a git diff and test the affected interface, or explore the application for bugs. It covers functional behavior, accessibility and responsive layouts, using a local browser for localhost or Browserbase for deployed sites.
Use functions to develop and deploy browser automation as a Browserbase Function when the task needs to run on a schedule or respond to a webhook. Running these workflows requires the browse CLI and Browserbase credentials.
Capture the relevant browser interactions with browser-trace, then use browser-to-api to produce a best-effort OpenAPI document and coverage report. The result describes observed traffic; capturing additional flows can broaden its coverage.
Start with your company and ideal customer profile to discover and score target companies, or supply a conference page to prioritize people to meet. For competitive research, compare discovered competitors through an HTML report with feature, pricing and mentions views. These research workflows require the browse CLI and a Browserbase API key.
Use autobrowse to repeat a website task and revise its navigation strategy from the resulting traces. For Browserbase Agent API demos, optimize-agent-prompt holds the task and evaluation criteria fixed while testing changes to the system prompt.
Give agent-experience a product, SDK, documentation site or skill to audit. It sends agents through realistic onboarding tasks and produces an HTML report on setup friction, efficiency, errors and documentation quality. The audit needs a harness with subagent, WebFetch and Bash support.
Use add-webmcp when you own the application's source and want to integrate tools backed by its existing features. Use webmcp-gen when the starting point is a live URL and the deliverable is a standalone WebMCP initialization script. Both include validation through Stagehand.
Use safe-browser to build a local Claude Agent SDK application whose browser tool enforces a domain allowlist. The restriction belongs to the generated runtime application; installing the skill does not constrain your coding agent's other tools.
The marketplace declares six plugins, each with one skill. The Skills CLI also discovers the additional skills listed here.

Add the Browserbase marketplace, then choose a plugin to install as a whole. Each plugin declares one skill; adding the marketplace alone does not install it.
In your terminal, open the project where you use Claude Code and add the marketplace.
claude plugin marketplace add browserbase/skillsPlugin to install
In the same terminal, install browse for browser navigation, forms and data extraction.
claude plugin install browse@browserbase --scope localInstall the browse CLI in your terminal if it is not already available. Local browsing needs Chrome or Chromium; remote browsing needs a Browserbase API key.
npm install -g browseIn the same terminal, install functions for Browserbase cloud deployment workflows.
claude plugin install functions@browserbase --scope localInstall the browse CLI in your terminal if it is not already available. Developing and running Functions also needs Node.js 18 or later and a Browserbase API key; follow the skill's setup when creating a function.
npm install -g browseOpen Claude Code in this project and run the command below to install browser-trace for browser-event capture and debugging. In the plugin details panel, choose user, project or local scope and confirm installation.
/plugin install browser-trace@browserbaseInstall the browse CLI in your terminal if it is not already available. Capturing traces needs Node.js 18 or later; remote captures also need a Browserbase API key.
npm install -g browseOpen Claude Code in this project and run the command below to install safe-browser for the constrained-agent builder guidance. In the plugin details panel, choose user, project or local scope and confirm installation.
/plugin install safe-browser@browserbaseRunning its generated application needs Node.js 18 or later, npm, local Chromium and an Anthropic API key. See the safe-browser runtime setup.
Open Claude Code in this project and run the command below to install webmcp-gen for website-specific initialization scripts. In the plugin details panel, choose user, project or local scope and confirm installation.
/plugin install webmcp-gen@browserbaseUsing the workflow needs Node.js 18 or later, Chrome or Chromium with WebMCP testing flags, and the skill's Stagehand dependencies. Follow the WebMCP Gen setup check before generating scripts.
Install the browse CLI in your terminal if it is not already available; the skill uses it to explore the target page.
npm install -g browseOpen Claude Code in this project and run the command below to install add-webmcp for integrating tools into an application's source. In the plugin details panel, choose user, project or local scope and confirm installation.
/plugin install add-webmcp@browserbaseUsing its validator needs Node.js 22.18 or later and either local Chrome or Chromium, or a Browserbase API key for a publicly reachable preview. Follow the application validation setup when preparing to validate changes.
If the plugin is not already active, start a new Claude Code session in this project to load it.
In Claude Code, open plugin management and check the Installed tab for the plugin you selected. Its skill should also appear under the plugin's name in the slash menu.
/pluginSources: Browserbase marketplace manifest, Browserbase installation guide and Claude Code plugin installation.
Install selected skills directly into Claude Code. This route discovers skills across the repository, including those outside the six marketplace plugin declarations.
In a terminal at your project folder, run the Skills CLI installer.
npx skills add browserbase/skillsChoose the skills you want, select Claude Code as the target agent and confirm installation. Skills install to the current project by default.
Open Claude Code in the project and list its available skills. Confirm that the names you selected appear.
/skillsIf you created the project's top-level skills directory while Claude Code was already open, reload its skills and check the list again.
/reload-skillsBefore using a skill, meet its runtime requirements. The browser and functions skills need the browse CLI; cloud operations need a Browserbase API key. The standalone fetch and search skills call cloud APIs without a browser session.

Use the Skills CLI to install selected Browserbase skills for Cursor.
In a terminal at your project folder, run the Skills CLI installer.
npx skills add browserbase/skillsChoose the skills you want, select Cursor as the target agent and confirm installation. Skills install to the current project by default.
Open or restart Cursor in the project so it discovers the installed skills. In Agent chat, open the slash menu and search for the names you selected.
Before using a skill, meet its runtime requirements. The browser and functions skills need the browse CLI; cloud operations need a Browserbase API key. Workflows that delegate to subagents also need the tools specified by the skill.
