BBrowserless MCP (official)

Tested npm @browserless.io/mcp 1.43.1 (repo browserless/browserless-mcp). Its 19 tools listed without credentials, but tools need a Browserless API token: browserless_skill and browserless_search both returned 'No Browserless API token provided. For stdio: set the BROWSERLESS_TOKEN environment variable...' (live endpoint probe, Nov 3, 2026). No browser, scrape or account tool was called. License: npm says SSPL-1.0 (not OSI-approved); the repo's GitHub license field reads NOASSERTION, and we score the repo field. Browserless's hosted endpoint https://mcp.browserless.io/mcp answered HTTP 401 with an OAuth challenge and is not listed separately. Score capped: no passing tool call.
