  "what": "Browserbase's official server, hosted at <code>https://mcp.browserbase.com/mcp</code> or self-run via <code>npx @browserbasehq/mcp</code>. Built on Stagehand, it exposes six tools — <code>start</code>, <code>end</code>, <code>navigate</code>, <code>act</code>, <code>observe</code> and <code>extract</code> — driving a cloud browser through plain-English instructions instead of CSS selectors.",
  "why": "Natural-language actions survive layout changes that shatter selector-based scripts, and the browser runs in Browserbase's cloud rather than hijacking your desktop. Good for logged-in flows and sites hostile to headless browsers.",
  "warn": "Metered in browser hours: the free plan gives one hour total with 15-minute session caps. Self-hosted mode also wants a <code>GEMINI_API_KEY</code> for the Stagehand model, an extra cost.",
