- Developers and AI agents needing scalable, failover-ready cloud browser access.
- pricing
- freemium
- license
- MIT
Key features
- Unified Endpoint — One URL routes requests to any browser provider with automatic failover.
- Multiple Routing Strategies — Priority chain, round-robin, least-connections, latency-optimized, weighted distribution.
- Persistent Encrypted Profiles — Cookies, localStorage, IndexedDB saved per profile and replayable across providers.
- Session Replay & Recording — Full timeline replay and MP4 video export with configurable retention.
- MCP Server for AI Agents — Eight built-in browser tools (navigate, screenshot, interact, etc.) for Claude Code, Cursor and any MCP client.
- Request Queue & Concurrency Limits — FIFO queue when providers are busy and per-provider concurrency caps.
- Webhooks & Health Monitoring — Notify on provider status changes, queue overflows, and health probe results.
Use cases
- Run automated UI tests with Playwright or Puppeteer across multiple browser providers.
- Provide AI agents (e.g., Claude Code) with isolated browser instances for web-based tasks.
- Scale a self-hosted browser fleet with demand-based autoscaling and failover.
- Capture and replay user sessions for debugging or compliance.

- BrowserGateway vs Unified MCP Server: Provides a generic MCP server with many tools but not a multi-provider browser router.
- BrowserGateway vs gridctl: Offers a single YAML-defined endpoint for MCP servers, lacking built-in browser routing and failover.
- BrowserGateway vs Pipelex: Focuses on declarative AI workflow language, not on routing browser sessions across providers.
- BrowserGateway vs CentralMind Gateway: Generates APIs and MCP from databases for agents, not a cloud-browser routing layer.
