# Give VS Code a real cloud browser

> Connect VS Code to a Nevazu browser over MCP: a real Chrome in the cloud that stays signed in, on its own IP. Nothing to install: you approve the sign-in and watch it work.

VS Code reaches tools through the Model Context Protocol (MCP). Each Nevazu browser has its own hosted MCP server, so VS Code can take screenshots of the whole screen, click, type, scroll, press shortcuts and upload files in a real Chrome: the same browser, tabs and sign-ins you use in the live view. You watch at the same time and take control back with any click or key.

## What it can do

- Read pages the way a person sees them, from screenshots of the real screen: content drawn by scripts, images, charts and layout included.
- Work in the sites you are signed in to, with the session kept between visits.
- See what the browser’s region shows: websites see its dedicated IP and local time zone.
- Upload files from your computer into the browser, for a page’s upload form.

## Connect VS Code

- Create a browser in Nevazu, in the region you want.
- On the browser, choose the robot button (Connect an agent) and, under Use with agents, copy the setup. Paste it into VS Code: it adds the server itself, as shown below.
- A Nevazu page opens in your web browser. Choose whether it may act or only look, and for how long: 1, 7, 30 or 90 days. Then choose Allow.

> **Note:** Every browser has its own MCP server: its own address (https://connect.nevazu.com/mcp/ followed by that browser’s ID) and its own sign-in, which reaches that browser only. Copy the setup from the browser you want VS Code to use. For two browsers, add two servers with different names, such as nevazu-work and nevazu-tokyo, and sign in to each.

To add it by hand, the setup for VS Code looks like this, with your browser’s own address in place of BROWSER_ID:

Run MCP: Add Server from the Command Palette, choose HTTP, paste the URL and give it the ID nevazu-work, then choose Global and Copilot Global: VS Code writes the server to ~/.copilot/mcp-config.json (the portable format below; merge it there by hand if you prefer, keeping the servers already there). When the server starts, VS Code asks to allow it to sign in and opens the Nevazu page.

~/.copilot/mcp-config.json:
```
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "nevazu-work": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://connect.nevazu.com/mcp/BROWSER_ID"
    }
  }
}
```

These steps follow VS Code’s own documentation: [VS Code: Add MCP servers](https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/agent-customization/mcp-servers) [VS Code: MCP configuration reference](https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/agents/reference/mcp-configuration)

## Watching and taking over

While VS Code is in control, the live view shows a green outline; while you are, a blue one. Any click, key, scroll or paste of yours takes control back before it is carried out, and VS Code waits until you hand control back. Privacy pause also stops screenshots until you end it.

## Questions

### Do I need to install anything?

No. The MCP server is hosted by Nevazu and reached over HTTPS; VS Code only adds its address. There is no key to store: you approve a sign-in instead, and Nevazu emails you each time an agent signs in.

### Can VS Code use the sites I am signed in to?

Yes: it works in the same Chrome and sign-ins you use. That also means it can do anything those accounts allow. Give it only tasks you would do yourself, choose view only where looking is enough, and prefer a separate browser for agent work.

### Can VS Code use more than one browser?

Yes, one MCP server per browser. Each browser has its own server address and its own sign-in, so add one server for each browser you want it to use, under different names. Approving one sign-in never gives access to your other browsers.

### What does it cost?

Nevazu is prepaid and billed per minute while the browser runs; its dedicated IP and storage are charged while it exists. A browser an agent is working in stays awake; once the agent stops making requests, it sleeps on its usual timer. Current prices are on the pricing page.

### How do I disconnect VS Code?

In the browser’s Settings → Agent access, or on the Agents page. A disconnected agent loses access at once, even mid-task.
