Scalebrowser
Self-hosted browser infrastructure for AI agents: run a daemon on your own machine, create browser profiles that keep a persistent identity, and hand them to agents or scripts via REST API, MCP, SDK, or CDP.
About Scalebrowser
Scalebrowser is self-hosted browser infrastructure for AI agents. You run a daemon on your own machine; it creates browser profiles, launches them, and hands them to a driver — an agent, your own code, or existing scripts — running headless by default. Each profile's identity data comes from a configuration seed and persists across restarts, so websites keep seeing the same visitor. The agent layer trims page content to save tokens: the agent reads the full page once, then reads only the parts that change. The product exposes profile creation, launching, proxy assignment, and event streaming through the daemon's built-in HTTP API (110 paths under /v1), and also supports MCP, two SDKs, and direct CDP connections. Note: there is no hosted mode — profiles, the browser engine, and the database all live in a directory on the machine running the daemon, which you must back up yourself.
Best for
Best use cases
Run agents with a fixed browser identity for tasks that require revisiting the same site
Run large numbers of browser instances in parallel across multiple machines for bulk operations
Provide supporting tools for automation flows that need logins, CAPTCHAs, or email confirmation codes
Drive the browser via API or scripts instead of manually operating a GUI
Features
Persistent Identity
Each profile's identity data comes from a configuration seed and persists across restarts, so websites see the same visitor tomorrow, not a brand-new device.
HTTP API
The daemon ships with an HTTP API to create and launch profiles, assign proxies, and stream events, with 110 paths under /v1.
Multiple Access Methods
Supports MCP, two SDKs, and direct CDP, letting agents, your own code, or existing scripts drive the browser.
Token Budget
The agent reads the full page once, then reads only the parts that change — the official example is about 25.51 dollars for a 100-step operation.
Stored Logins & Mail Inbox
Each profile can store logins, passkeys, and cookies, plus an inbox for receiving email confirmation codes.
Manual Input & Recording
Supports manual input and CAPTCHA handling, and can generate detailed trails with screenshots and record screen videos.
Browser Engine Updates
Browser engine updates are included in the subscription.
Pros
- Each profile's identity stays the same across restarts, so websites see the same visitor
- The agent layer reads only the parts of a page that change, saving token overhead
- Offers multiple access methods: HTTP API, MCP, SDKs, and CDP
- Unlimited profiles, billed by the number of browsers running concurrently
- Includes operational extras like CAPTCHA handling and screen recording
Cons
- No hosted mode and no vendor intermediary browser: configuration, engine, and database all live on the machine running the daemon, and you must back up that directory yourself
- Requires your own hardware — the official documentation lists it as one of three prerequisites, and it is not optional
- A browser instance can only be open on one machine at a time (API error code 4012)
