BrowseAI Dev

Overview

BrowseAI Dev is a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server: Evidence-backed web research for AI agents with citations and confidence scores. Because it speaks the Model Context Protocol, AI assistants can use BrowseAI Dev as a set of callable tools instead of you copy-pasting between apps.

It runs locally: the npm package browseai-dev speaks MCP over stdio on your machine. Configuration happens through environment variables — you'll need BROWSE_API_KEY. The current release is v0.4.0, published under the Apache-2.0 license, with source at BrowseAI-HQ/BrowseAI-Dev on GitHub, where it has earned 20 stars.

On mcp.site, BrowseAI Dev sits in the AI & Agents category. Any MCP client can use it — Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor, VS Code, Windsurf, Zed among them — via the install snippets below.
