Browzer API Key for MCP

browzer6 stepsAgent View (JSON)

Overview

TryBrowzer provides MCP (Model Context Protocol) server functionality to enable AI agents and applications to interact with the platform programmatically. To establish a secure connection, you need to generate an API key that authenticates your application with TryBrowzer's MCP endpoint. This workflow guides you through the process of creating and retrieving a new API key from your TryBrowzer account, which you'll then configure in your AI application or MCP client (such as Claude). Generating a dedicated key allows you to control access, rotate credentials for security, and manage multiple integrations independently.

Before you begin

  • A valid TryBrowzer account with login credentials (visit https://trybrowzer.com and register if needed)
  • Access to your TryBrowzer account dashboard—you must be logged in before starting this workflow
  • Knowledge of what you'll name your API key (e.g., 'Claude Integration', 'Browser Agent Dev', etc.)

Step by step

1
ClickMCP

Navigate to the MCP (Model Context Protocol) section of your TryBrowzer account by clicking the MCP link in the main navigation menu. This section contains all API key and server configuration settings for integrating MCP with external applications.

Tip. The MCP link is typically located in the main navigation bar at the top or left sidebar of your TryBrowzer dashboard. If you don't see it, ensure you are logged in to your account and that MCP features are enabled for your plan.
Step 1
2
ClickCreate Key

Click the 'Create Key' button to initiate the API key creation process. This opens a form where you'll provide details for the new key.

Tip. If you have multiple keys already, the 'Create Key' button is often found at the top or bottom of your existing keys list. Look for a button with a plus icon or the text 'Create Key'.
Step 2
3
TypeKey name

Enter a descriptive name for your API key in the 'Key name' text field. Use a name that clearly identifies its purpose (e.g., 'Claude MCP Integration', 'Browser Automation Dev', 'Production Agent').

Tip. Use clear, memorable names so you can easily identify which application or environment each key is used for. Include the date or version if managing multiple keys over time. Avoid generic names like 'key1' or 'test'.
4
ClickCreate

Click the 'Create' button to generate your new API key. TryBrowzer will create the key and display it on a confirmation screen for you to copy and securely store.

Tip. Once the key is generated, you will typically have only one opportunity to view and copy the full key value. Be prepared to copy it immediately after creation.
Warning. This key grants access to your TryBrowzer MCP server. Treat it like a password—never share it publicly, commit it to version control, or post it in forums. If you suspect the key has been compromised, regenerate or delete it immediately from this section.

5
Clickbutton

Click the button displayed on the confirmation screen (typically labeled 'Copy', 'Reveal', or similar) to display, copy, or confirm the newly generated API key. This ensures you can securely retrieve and store the key.

Tip. After clicking this button, the full API key will be visible or copied to your clipboard. If using a clipboard action, paste it into a secure location (password manager, secure note, environment variable file) immediately.
Step 5
6
ClickDone

Click the 'Done' button to complete the API key creation workflow and close the confirmation dialog. You will be returned to the MCP section where your new key should now appear in your active keys list.

Tip. After clicking 'Done', verify that your new key name appears in the MCP keys list. Note the key name for future reference when configuring your MCP client or AI application.
Step 6

Confirm it worked

  1. 1After clicking 'Create', you should see a confirmation screen displaying your newly generated API key
  2. 2A key name appears in the MCP section confirming the key was created with the name you specified
  3. 3After completing the workflow, you can copy and store the API key for use in your MCP client configuration
  4. 4Navigate back to the MCP section at any time to verify the key exists in your list of active credentials
