Install
claudeup
Find browser-use on the Plugins tab and turn it on. claudeup registers the magus
marketplace if you do not have it, and installs what the plugin needs to actually run —
binaries, MCP servers, CLI tools.
For a team, press s to save your plugins as a profile and commit it. Everyone else runs
claudeup install — see Teams and profiles.
Prefer to do it by hand? Installing Magus has the manual path.
