# Anchor Browser — how to use (mcp.ai)

Connect your Anchor Browser account and use 64 tools for AI agents straight from your AI agent. Connect with your own API key. Anchor Browser is a developer platform that enables AI agents to interact with the web through browser automation, transforming complex web interactions into simple API endpoints.

## Option A — via MCP (recommended)
Remote MCP endpoint (HTTP, streamable): `https://api.mcp.ai/p_anchor_browser?ms=1787295960000`
Add it as a custom/remote MCP connector in your client (Claude, Cursor, VS Code…), then authenticate when prompted. Once connected, ask the agent to use the server's tools (e.g. `anchor_browser_click_mouse`).

## Option B — via direct REST API
Base URL: `https://api.mcp.ai/api/anchor_browser`
Auth: `Authorization: Bearer sk_live_…` — create a workspace API key at https://mcp.ai/settings/api-keys
Discover endpoints: `GET https://api.mcp.ai/api/anchor_browser/_endpoints`
