Browser Use 1.0.1
Browser Use 1.0.1 is a fix release for 1.0.0: the CLI MCP server now installs and drives its own Chromium on servers and CI, allowed_domains can't be bypassed through a cloud browser, and timeouts are respected.
Why it matters
Teams that run Browser Use agents on headless servers, containers or CI get a working browser out of the box and tighter domain limits, which matters when an agent shouldn't wander off-site.
What's new
- browser-use --cli-mcp on servers, containers and CI boxes now drives its own Chromium, installed on first use, with one clear error when no browser can run.
- --mcp with allowed_domains can no longer be bypassed through a cloud browser, and http_get in the CLI and MCP always fetches from your own machine.
- timeout= now delivers the final answer before the deadline, and provider retries respect it.
- Windows piped CLI code and long MCP output are UTF-8; each run gets its own browser-harness workspace.
