Opera launches MCP Connector for AI browser integration

OSLO, Norway - Opera (NASDAQ:OPRA) announced today the launch of MCP Connector for Opera Neon, allowing external AI clients to connect directly to the browser and perform actions within active user sessions. The Norwegian browser company, with a market capitalization of $1.2 billion, has been profitable over the last twelve months with revenue of $615 million.

The technology enables AI clients including Claude, ChatGPT, Lovable, n8n and OpenClaw to access live browser context and execute tasks within Opera Neon, the company’s browser focused on AI-driven workflows, according to a press release statement.

MCP Connector uses Model Context Protocol to give connected AI clients access to open tabs, page content, and authenticated sessions. The AI clients can navigate pages, extract information, capture screenshots, fill forms, open tabs, and perform searches within the browser.

"Last year, we launched Browser Operator as a first step toward an agentic browser. Now we are opening those capabilities to external AI clients through MCP, so they can act directly inside the browser, not outside it," said Monika Kurczyńska, Director of R&D for browser AI at Opera.

The system operates within users’ real browser sessions rather than isolated environments. Authentication is handled through a secure MCP server URL to ensure only authorized AI clients can access browser sessions. A persistent proxy layer maintains connection stability.

Use cases include development, prototyping, and automation. Developers can test applications in real browser environments, while prototyping tools can use live interfaces to generate designs.

MCP Connector is available today for all Opera Neon subscribers. Opera stated it will introduce a simplified version to its flagship Opera One and Opera GX browsers.

The Norwegian browser company develops multiple browsers for different audiences, including Opera One, gaming-focused Opera GX, and Opera Neon.
