In review · coming soon to ChatGPT
A real browser, right inside ChatGPT.
The CloudBrowser plugin lets ChatGPT open real Chrome browsers in the cloud — to research websites, extract data, fill in forms and check user journeys — with a browser-sessions workspace right beside your conversation.

Screen recording of the CloudBrowser plugin inside ChatGPT. A saved browser session is resumed in the Browser sessions workspace and cloudbrowser.ai loads in it. A question typed in the workspace’s “Ask about this page” box is sent to ChatGPT, which reads the page through CloudBrowser and answers with a one-sentence summary. The browser is then closed and can be resumed again.
Five browser skills
Ask in plain words. ChatGPT does the browsing.
The plugin ships five focused skills, so ChatGPT knows when to open a browser, what to look at, what to bring back — and when to close it.
Extract web data
Turn listings, directories and tables into structured data with source links.
“Extract the first 20 listings on this page into a table with source links.”
Website actions
Fill in forms and move through multi-step flows, then verify the result.
“Fill in this contact form with the details below and confirm it was sent.”
Check a website
Walk through a user journey and capture anything that looks broken.
“Check our signup journey on staging and capture any visible problems.”
Browser sessions
See running browsers, resume a saved login and close browsers when you finish.
“Show my sessions, resume my saved login, then close the browser when we finish.”
Any website, real Chrome
Every skill runs in an isolated Chrome browser in the cloud with stealth fingerprints and a premium proxy — so JavaScript-heavy sites work the way they do for people.

Your browsers, beside the conversation.
Open the CloudBrowser workspace from the chat. It shows what each browser is doing and lets you steer — without leaving ChatGPT. Opening or refreshing it never starts a browser.
- Running & savedEvery running browser and every saved session in your account.
- Reconnect, refresh, closeReconnect to a browser, refresh its screenshot or close it — CloudBrowser checks that it is really gone.
- Address barSend the selected browser to any URL.
- Current pageA screenshot of what the browser shows right now, refreshed whenever you ask.
- Ask about this pageSend a question to ChatGPT with this browser attached as context.
- UsageJump to your browser time in the CloudBrowser dashboard.
How it works
From the directory to a finished task.
Find CloudBrowser
Open the plugin directory in ChatGPT and search for CloudBrowser. The listing is coming soon.

Sign in with your CloudBrowser account and approve browser control. New here? Start with a 7-day free trial.
Ask for what you need
Mention CloudBrowser in a chat or pick it from the + menu, then describe the task in plain words.
Review, then close
Check the answer and the page in the workspace. Close the browser — or keep the session for next time.
Human in the loop
Logins and CAPTCHAs? You take the wheel.
ChatGPT never needs your passwords. When a site asks for a login, a one-time code or a CAPTCHA, open the live remote desktop from your CloudBrowser dashboard, step in yourself and save the session. Next time, ChatGPT resumes it already signed in.

Security & privacy
Your account, your browsers, your call.
The plugin connects ChatGPT to your CloudBrowser account with scoped, revocable access. What the browser reads is returned to ChatGPT only when you ask for it.
OAuth sign-in
Connect with your CloudBrowser account through OAuth with PKCE. ChatGPT never sees your password or your API token.
Only the access it needs
The plugin asks for browser control, plus your email address if you approve it — nothing else in your account.
Short-lived access
Access tokens expire after 10 minutes and refresh tokens rotate on every use. A grant lasts up to 30 days.
Revoke anytime
Disconnect ChatGPT under Connected assistants in your dashboard. Revoking stops further tool calls.
Isolated browsers
Each browser runs in its own container, separated from your other sessions and from every other customer.
Clear read and write labels
Each tool declares whether it only reads or can change something, so ChatGPT can confirm before it acts.
Read the privacy policy and the terms of service.
Pricing
A free plugin. Pay for browser time.

The plugin runs on CloudBrowser’s hosted MCP server — and you can already add that server to ChatGPT in developer mode.
- On ChatGPT for the web, turn on Developer mode in Settings.
- Open Apps (or Plugins, depending on your account) and create an app named
CloudBrowserwith the server URL below. - Choose OAuth, create it and sign in with your CloudBrowser account.
- In a chat, open + → Developer mode and select CloudBrowser.
https://mcp.cloudbrowser.aiDeveloper mode is a ChatGPT beta for eligible paid plans on the web; in Business workspaces an admin sets it up. Menu names vary between ChatGPT releases. Setup guides for Claude, Cursor, VS Code and more.
When will the CloudBrowser plugin be available in ChatGPT?
The plugin has been submitted to OpenAI and is in review. As soon as it is listed in ChatGPT’s plugin directory, the install link will appear on this page. Until then, you can connect the same CloudBrowser server in ChatGPT developer mode.
What can the CloudBrowser plugin do in ChatGPT?
It gives ChatGPT real Chrome browsers in the cloud and five skills: web research with cited pages, web data extraction, website actions such as filling in forms, website checks and browser-session management. A workspace beside the chat lists your running browsers and saved sessions and shows the current page.
How is it different from ChatGPT’s built-in browsing?
CloudBrowser gives ChatGPT a browser that lives in your own CloudBrowser account. It can resume your saved, signed-in sessions, keep running between turns, be watched and taken over on a live remote desktop, and be used from the API, MCP clients and SDKs as well.
Will ChatGPT see my passwords?
No. You connect your CloudBrowser account through OAuth, and you never type website passwords into the chat. When a site needs a login, open the live remote desktop from your CloudBrowser dashboard, sign in yourself and save the session — ChatGPT can then resume it.
Which ChatGPT plans can use the plugin?
Plugin availability is set by OpenAI and can depend on your ChatGPT plan, workspace settings and region. In Business and Enterprise workspaces, an admin may need to allow the plugin first.
How much does it cost?
Installing the plugin is free. Browser time is billed through your CloudBrowser plan: one usage unit is 30 seconds of browser time per tab. Basic is $25 a month with a 7-day free trial, and Premium is $90 a month.
Does the workspace show a live video of the browser?
The workspace shows a screenshot of the current page that you can refresh at any time. For a live, interactive view, open the remote desktop for that browser from your CloudBrowser dashboard.
What happens to running browsers when I close the workspace?
Closing the workspace or disconnecting the plugin does not close running browsers. Close them from the workspace, ask ChatGPT, or use the dashboard. Idle browsers also close on their own after their timeout — 180 seconds for a resumed session.
What does a saved session keep?
A saved session stores cookies and local storage under a label in your CloudBrowser account, so a resumed browser comes back signed in. Open tabs are not restored. You can remove saved sessions at any time.
Can I use the same browsers outside ChatGPT?
Yes. The plugin uses your CloudBrowser account, so the same browsers and saved sessions are available from Claude, Cursor and other MCP clients, the browser API and the SDKs.
How do I disconnect ChatGPT from CloudBrowser?
Revoke the connection under Connected assistants in your CloudBrowser dashboard, or remove the plugin in ChatGPT. Revoking stops further tool calls; close any running browsers separately.
