  "what_it_does": "A hosted headless-browser service (sessions, proxies, stealth, session recording) with Stagehand, its natural-language browser automation layer, so agents can navigate, act on and extract from web pages that plain HTTP fetching cannot reach.",
  "ai_features": "The browser hosting is infrastructure. Stagehand's act, observe and extract tools take natural-language instructions and use a model to pick page elements and pull data; the MCP setup docs expose a model flag (\"The model to use for Stagehand\"), so the AI is a configurable layer on top of the browser.",

  "mcp_url": "https://mcp.browserbase.com/mcp (docs: https://docs.browserbase.com/integrations/mcp/setup)",
  "mcp_auth": "api key passed as a browserbaseApiKey query parameter on the endpoint URL; the docs list it as \"Required for tool calls\". Six tools: navigate, act, observe, extract, start, end, each taking an optional sessionId.",
  "api_gate": "free - the pricing page lists Free at $0/mo with \"1 browser hour\", 3 concurrent browsers, \"15 minutes /session\", \"1,000 Search calls\" and \"1,000 Fetch calls\"; Developer $20/mo (\"100 browser hours then $0.12/browser hr\"), Startup $99/mo (\"500 browser hours then $0.10/browser hr\"), Scale custom.",
  "revops_role": "The browser layer under an enrichment or research agent for pages behind logins, JavaScript rendering or anti-bot walls; the step after Firecrawl or Tavily fail on a target site.",

  "notes": "Verified 2026-09-07: POST of an MCP initialize to https://mcp.browserbase.com/mcp with no key returned HTTP 200 with a JSON-RPC result, serverInfo name \"stagehand-api\" (protocolVersion 2025-03-26); the control POST to /zzz-not-a-route returned 404. Initialize succeeds keyless and, per the docs, the key is enforced at tool-call time. The candidate row's proposed alternative category was mcp-infrastructure; it lands here because its GTM use is data collection, the same reasoning as Bright Data. One browser hour a month on Free is a demo allowance, not a working allowance. 2026-09-07: https://mcp.browserbase.com/mcp returned 200 with a JSON-RPC initialize result to an MCP initialize POST (https://mcp.browserbase.com/mcp). 2026-09-09 (P6-04 repo sweep): first-party server source recorded at https://github.com/browserbase/mcp-server-browserbase, 3,404 stars. GitHub reports the repository ARCHIVED with its last push on 2026-07-20, so the source is readable but frozen; the hosted endpoint in mcp_url is the live surface. Evidence that it is Browserbase's own: the official MCP registry entry io.github.browserbase/mcp-server-browserbase carries that repository URL, npm @browserbasehq/mcp declares the same repository, and the org browserbase lists browserbase.com as its site.",
