A real browser your agents can drive.
Bureau is a stealth Firefox and a local daemon that exposes browser tools as MCP over HTTP. It runs on your machine, with your logins and sessions — never a shared cloud browser.
Install the CLI
npm install -g bureau-shHow it works
Three steps to a browser your agents can drive.
Install
One npm install. macOS, Node 22.13 or newer. Point Bureau at your Camofox install and it handles the rest — see the install docs.
$ npm install -g bureau-sh
Start the daemon
bureau start launches the stealth browser and serves the MCP tools over HTTP on port 8830.
$ bureau start
Connect any MCP client
Point Claude Code, Cursor, or any MCP client at the local endpoint and your agent can drive the browser.
Claude Code — .mcp.json
{
"mcpServers": {
"bureau": {
"type": "http",
"url": "http://localhost:8830/mcp"
}
}
}Capabilities
One daemon, the whole toolbelt.
Everything an agent needs to act on the web, exposed as typed MCP tools.
Saved identities & sessions
Persist logged-in browser profiles and reuse them across runs — sync from Chrome, re-auth when a session expires.
Social capture & search
Read and act on social feeds, profiles, and conversations through first-class capture and search tools.
Scraping & research
Pull clean content from any page and run multi-step research jobs that read the live web.
Workflows
List and run declarative browser workflows — repeatable, parameterized automations.
Screen tools
Capture displays and windows, move, click, and type at the OS level when the DOM isn't enough.
Credentials vault
Record credentials into a sealed local vault. Secrets stay on your machine, never in a prompt.
Why local
Your cookies never leave the machine.
Cloud-browser SaaS runs your sessions on someone else's server. Bureau runs the browser where you already trust it — your own machine — so your logins, cookies, and credentials stay put.
- Your sessions and cookies stay on your machine — nothing is proxied through a shared cloud browser.
- Credentials are sealed into a local vault, never sent to a model or a third party.
- Local browsing is free and works offline; you only pay for metered AI actions.
Pricing
Free to browse. Credits for AI.
The browser runs on your machine for free. Credits are spent only on the metered AI actions the daemon makes on your behalf.
Local browsing — free
Every new account starts with 200 welcome credits for AI actions.
Or subscribe — more credits, every month
Same price points as the packs, but a monthly allowance with bonus credits that renews automatically.
