## Browser Rendering adds Chrome DevTools Protocol (CDP) and MCP client support

Apr 10, 2026 

[ Browser Run ](https://developers.cloudflare.com/browser-run/) 

[Browser Rendering](https://developers.cloudflare.com/browser-run/) now exposes the [Chrome DevTools Protocol (CDP)](https://developers.cloudflare.com/browser-run/cdp/), the low-level protocol that powers browser automation. The growing ecosystem of CDP-based agent tools, along with existing CDP automation scripts, can now use Browser Rendering directly.

Any CDP-compatible client, including [Puppeteer](https://developers.cloudflare.com/browser-run/cdp/puppeteer/) and [Playwright](https://developers.cloudflare.com/browser-run/cdp/playwright/), can connect from any environment, whether that is [Cloudflare Workers](https://developers.cloudflare.com/workers/), your local machine, or a cloud environment. All you need is your Cloudflare API key.

For any existing CDP script, switching to Browser Rendering is a one-line change:

JavaScript

```
const puppeteer = require("puppeteer-core");
const browser = await puppeteer.connect({  browserWSEndpoint: `wss://api.cloudflare.com/client/v4/accounts/${ACCOUNT_ID}/browser-rendering/devtools/browser?keep_alive=600000`,  headers: { Authorization: `Bearer ${API_TOKEN}` },});
const page = await browser.newPage();await page.goto("https://example.com");console.log(await page.title());await browser.close();
```

Additionally, MCP clients like Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor, and OpenCode can now use Browser Rendering as their remote browser via the [chrome-devtools-mcp ↗](https://github.com/ChromeDevTools/chrome-devtools-mcp) package.

Here is an example of how to configure Browser Rendering for Claude Desktop:

```
{  "mcpServers": {    "browser-rendering": {      "command": "npx",      "args": [        "-y",        "chrome-devtools-mcp@latest",        "--wsEndpoint=wss://api.cloudflare.com/client/v4/accounts/<ACCOUNT_ID>/browser-rendering/devtools/browser?keep_alive=600000",        "--wsHeaders={\"Authorization\":\"Bearer <API_TOKEN>\"}"      ]    }  }}
```

To get started, refer to the [CDP documentation](https://developers.cloudflare.com/browser-run/cdp/).
