Open your claude_desktop_config.json and add the mcp server to the list of mcpServers:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "browsers": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "browsers-mcp-server@latest"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Cursor

Install the extension manually by editing the mcp.json file:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "browsers-mcp-server": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "browsers-mcp-server@latest"]
    }
  }
}
