## What is https://unchainedsky.com/unbrowser?
**unbrowser** is an open-source, lightweight **MCP (Model Context Protocol) browser** built by **Unchained** — designed specifically for LLM agents (like AI coding assistants, browser agents, etc.).
### Key Features:
- **One native binary** — no Chrome, Playwright, or heavy browser engine required.
- **Stateful sessions** — supports cookies, forms, navigation, clicking, typing, and bounded JavaScript execution.
- **BlockMaps** — a low-token representation of page structure (headings, links, buttons, forms, density) instead of dumping raw DOM into the LLM context window.
- **32 MCP tools** exposed via `--mcp` flag.
- **SSRF guard** built in for safety.
- **Escalation-ready** — when a page truly needs a full Chrome browser (auth, extensions, human-in-the-loop), you can hand off to Unchained's full Chrome session.
### How It Works:
You can run it locally:
```
unbrowser --mcp
```
Or use the hosted Streamable HTTP endpoint at `https://unchainedsky.com/unbrowser-mcp` for public/smoke-test pages.
### Live Scan Demos:
The page also offers pre-built "fixed-source scans" that let you test unbrowser against real sites — e.g., news pages, crypto prices, developer docs, security advisories, research papers, startup launches, etc. — to see how well it handles them without needing a full Chrome session.
### Bottom Line:
unbrowser is a **Chrome-free, agent-friendly browser** that gives LLMs web access without the overhead of a full browser engine. It's meant for quick, cheap page retrieval — and you escalate to a real browser only when necessary.
