## Description

Create a standalone Browser Use browser session for direct browser control through CDP. Browser sessions are billed by runtime and can run up to 4 hours. [See the documentation](https://docs.browser-use.com/cloud/api-v3/browsers/create-browser-session)

## Props

| Prop | Type | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| `profileId` | `string` | No | Select a Browser Use profile or provide a profile ID. Options are loaded from the connected account. |
| `proxyCountryCode` | `string` | No | Lowercase proxy country code for browser traffic. Examples: us, de, jp. Enter none to disable Browser Use's proxy. |
| `timeout` | `integer` | No | Session timeout in minutes. Browser Use supports 1 to 240 minutes. |
| `browserScreenWidth` | `integer` | No | Custom browser screen width in pixels. Supported range: 320 to 6144. |
| `browserScreenHeight` | `integer` | No | Custom browser screen height in pixels. Supported range: 320 to 3456. |
| `allowResizing` | `boolean` | No | Whether to allow browser resizing during the session. Browser Use does not recommend this because it can reduce stealthiness. |
| `customProxy` | `object` | No | Optional custom proxy object. Example: {"host":"proxy.example.com","port":8080,"username":"user","password":"pass"}. Custom proxies require an active subscription. |
| `enableRecording` | `boolean` | No | If true, records the browser session. |

## Run it

**MCP**

```ts
import { Client } from "@modelcontextprotocol/sdk/client/index.js"
import { StreamableHTTPClientTransport } from "@modelcontextprotocol/sdk/client/streamableHttp.js"
import { PipedreamClient } from "@pipedream/sdk"

const pd = new PipedreamClient({
  projectId: process.env.PIPEDREAM_PROJECT_ID!,
  clientId: process.env.PIPEDREAM_CLIENT_ID!,
  clientSecret: process.env.PIPEDREAM_CLIENT_SECRET!,
  projectEnvironment: "production",
})

const accessToken = await pd.rawAccessToken

const transport = new StreamableHTTPClientTransport(
  new URL("https://remote.mcp.pipedream.net/v3"),
  {
    requestInit: {
      headers: {
        Authorization: `Bearer ${accessToken}`,
        "x-pd-project-id": process.env.PIPEDREAM_PROJECT_ID!,
        "x-pd-environment": "production",
        "x-pd-external-user-id": "{external_user_id}", // any stable ID for this user in your system
        "x-pd-app-slug": "browser_use",
      },
    },
  },
)

const mcp = new Client({ name: "my-agent", version: "1.0.0" })
await mcp.connect(transport)

const { tools } = await mcp.listTools()

// listTools() hands your model this tool's input schema, so it can
// fill the arguments itself:
const result = await mcp.callTool({
  name: "browser_use-create-browser-session",
  arguments: {
    profileId: "Profile ID",
    proxyCountryCode: "Proxy Country Code",
  },
})
```

**TypeScript**
