Docker images for easy installation

[denisov-vlad]

Hi everyone!

I recently faced quite a challenge trying to run MCP through WSL on Windows, and after a lot of frustration, I realized that using Docker images would be a much simpler solution. Not only does it eliminate the need to install Node, but it also helps us avoid the hassle of managing dependencies between different projects.

To make things easier for everyone, I’ve made the Docker image public. You can find it here: https://hub.docker.com/r/vladenisov/browser-tools-mcp.

The installation process is pretty straightforward and detailed on the page, but I’ll go ahead and summarize it here for convenience:

• Install browser extension (steps 1-2 only)
• Run server:

docker run -d --rm -p 3025:3025 --name browser-tools-server vladenisov/browser-tools-mcp:latest npx @agentdeskai/browser-tools-server

• Configure the MCP client inside your IDE:

"browsertools": {
    "command": "docker",
    "args": [
        "run",
        "-i",
        "--rm",
        "--name",
        "browser-tools-mcp",
        "-e", 
        "BROWSER_TOOLS_HOST=browser-tools-server",
        "--link",
        "browser-tools-server",
        "vladenisov/browser-tools-mcp:latest",
        "npx",
        "@agentdeskai/browser-tools-mcp"
    ]
}

• In your browser, open DevTools, switch to BrowserToolsMCP tab, and click Test connection.
