MCP Server

Verne ships an MCP server that gives your agents two capabilities: reading and writing workspace notes, and driving Verne’s embedded browser. The server runs as verne mcp via stdio.

Installing the server

Go to Settings › Agents. For Claude Code, Codex, Cursor CLI, and OpenCode, Verne can install the server for you: click Install next to the agent. For any other agent, expand its row to copy the manual install commands, then register the server in your agent’s config by hand.

Notes tools

Notes are scoped to the current workspace. Agents address notes by name or slug.

Tool What it does
notes_list List all notes in the workspace, returning slug and title for each
notes_read Read a note’s Markdown content by name or slug
notes_create Create a new note with a title and optional content, returns the slug
notes_write Overwrite a note’s content (creates it if it doesn’t exist)
notes_append Append Markdown to a note (creates it if it doesn’t exist)

Browser tools

Browser tools operate on tabs in Verne’s embedded browser. Each tab has an id returned by browser_list or browser_open. Interaction tools reference elements by the ref values from browser_snapshot.

Tool What it does
browser_list List open browser tabs in the current workspace, returning id, url, and active
browser_open Open a URL in a tab; reuses an existing tab if the URL is already open
browser_navigate Navigate a tab to a new URL
browser_back Navigate back in a tab’s history
browser_forward Navigate forward in a tab’s history
browser_reload Reload a tab
browser_snapshot Return the accessibility tree for a tab, with element refs for use with interaction tools
browser_click Click an element by ref
browser_fill Type a value into an input by ref
browser_select Select an option in a <select> element by ref and value
browser_screenshot Take a JPEG screenshot of a tab
browser_network Return recent network requests for a tab
