Built-in browser automation

Hey, this is a known issue. It’s a regression starting in version 2.3.18+. The team is working on a fix.

Related reports: Agent can’t access Browser Automation tools (navigate/click/screenshot) even though Browser capabilities page lists them and Browser Automation is connected

Try this workaround:

  1. Settings > Tools & MCP > Browser Automation: switch the mode from “Browser Tab” to “Google Chrome”
  2. Turn Browser Automation off, then back on
  3. Fully quit Cursor (Cmd+Q / Ctrl+Q, make sure the process is killed)
  4. Run this in Terminal: rm -rf ~/.npm/_npx
  5. Start Cursor again

This has helped some users.

Can you share your Cursor version (Menu > About Cursor > Copy)? It’ll help confirm you’re hitting this regression.
