Reflex

For Claude Desktop, Cursor, and any MCP client

A faster browser for your AI agent

Reflex MCP is a local MCP server that drives your Chrome from Claude Desktop, Cursor, or any MCP client. It returns compressed page snapshots and batched actions instead of full dumps, so the same measured flows take 6 tool calls and ~13K tokens versus 14 calls and ~56K for Playwright MCP, finish about ~3.5x faster end to end with a real agent, and never send page content to our servers.

Playwright MCP is free and better for iframes, network mocking, and Firefox/WebKit; Reflex wins on round trips, tokens, parallel sessions, and forensic failures.

Clients like Claude Desktop pay that snapshot cost on every look. Reflex compresses the page instead, so your agent keeps its context for the real work. Playwright MCP is free and better for iframes and other browsers; Reflex wins when every look costs you context. Full methodology and the reproduce command are on the benchmarks page.

Can I run multiple browsers in parallel?

Yes. Pass a session name on any Reflex tool call and it spins up a separate, isolated Chrome on demand, free. One agent can research ten sites at once; subagents can each drive their own browser. Playwright MCP shares a single browser, so parallel agents collide on the same tab. Reflex is the browser automation MCP built for parallel work from Claude Desktop, Cursor, and other MCP clients.

Getting started

Two minutes to your first task.

your MCP client

# 1: install Reflex

one click into Cursor or VS Code, or npx -y reflex-browser mcp in your MCP config

# 2: sign in once

ask your agent to sign in. It opens your browser once and saves a key locally. 30 free credits, no card

# 3: ask your agent, in plain English

> Compare the prices of these three products and tell me which has free shipping.

Reflex batches the whole flow into one call and reports back what changed, not the whole page.

Agent-native

Built for agents, not just browsers.

Failures you can act on

When a step misses, Reflex sends back the closest matches, the console errors, and a screenshot, so your agent fixes it on the next try instead of guessing.

Checks built into the action

Reflex verifies the result inside the same call, so a task clearly succeeds or fails without an extra round trip to confirm.

0-token replay

Save a task and re-run it anytime with no AI and no tokens. It repairs itself when the page changes.

Privacy

Your pages never leave your machine.

Reflex runs entirely on your computer: the MCP server, the browser, your logins, every page you visit. The only things that ever cross the network are your API key and a count of tool calls, so we can meter credits. We could not read your pages, sessions, or passwords if we wanted to; the architecture has no path for them.

Compare that to cloud browser products, where every page you visit renders on someone else's server.

FAQ

Questions, answered straight.

Is my data safe? What do you see?

Everything runs locally: the MCP server, your Chrome, your logins, the pages. The only data that reaches our servers is your email (for your account), your API key, and a counter of tool calls for credit metering. Page content, URLs you visit, credentials, and session cookies never leave your machine; there is no code path that could send them. Payments are handled by Paddle, our merchant of record; we never see card numbers. Our privacy policy is short because there is almost nothing to disclose.
