## What is Verge Browser?

Verge MCP Browser brings a real iOS browser to AI workflows. Built around the Model Context Protocol (MCP), it lets compatible AI clients connect to your iPhone and use browser tools through a local, authenticated endpoint.
Connect a compatible client with the endpoint and API key, then let it:
Open and manage agent tabs
Navigate to URLs or search queries
Wait for pages to finish loading
Read visible text and interactive elements as structured page snapshots
Click, type, select, scroll, and find content
Capture page screenshots
Go back, go forward, and reload pages
You remain in control. MCP is off by default. Agent tabs use an isolated browser profile unless you explicitly enable regular profile sharing. The MCP service is available through your local network while Verge is active, and every request requires an API key. No account is required.
Verge is also a focused everyday browser with:
Multiple tabs and a visual tab overview
Private browsing
Bookmarks and history
Downloads
Google, Bing, DuckDuckGo, or Baidu search
Desktop Safari or custom User-Agent support
Native iOS WebKit rendering and interaction
Use Verge for AI-assisted web research, form interaction, and browser automation while keeping the browser on your own iPhone.
