Getting Started

MCP Server

Access Kernel's cloud-based browsers via MCP

Our Model Context Protocol (MCP) server lets any compatible AI model or agent launch Chromium browsers, execute Playwright code, capture video replays, and automate web interactions from Kernel's cloud platform via a single secure endpoint.

The server is a centrally hosted, authenticated remote MCP using OAuth 2.1 with dynamic client registration.

Quick start

Add the server

Point your client at the streamable HTTP endpoint, or use the Kernel CLI to configure it for you:

kernel mcp install --target <target>

Authenticate

Authorize access through your browser when prompted. See Authentication for OAuth and API key options.

Start automating

Use the tools to launch browsers, run Playwright code, and invoke your apps.
