-#### Note : Ensure you are using Node version >= `20.9` 
+#### Prerequisites
+- A BrowserStack account. [Sign up](https://www.browserstack.com/users/sign_up) if you don't have one; open-source projects can get a [free plan](https://www.browserstack.com/open-source).
+- Your `username` and `access_key` from [Account Settings](https://www.browserstack.com/accounts/profile/details).
+
+For manual setup in any MCP client, see [Install the MCP server locally](https://www.browserstack.com/docs/browserstack-mcp-server/get-started/local-mcp) or [Set up the remote MCP server](https://www.browserstack.com/docs/browserstack-mcp-server/get-started/remote-mcp-server).
+
+#### Note : Ensure you are using Node version >= `22` 
 - Check your node version using `node --version`. Recommended version: `v22.15.0` (LTS)
 - To Upgrade Node :
 - 1. On macOS `(Homebrew) - brew update && brew upgrade node  or if using (nvm) - nvm install 22.15.0 && nvm use 22.15.0 && nvm alias default 22.15.0`
 - 2. On Windows `(nvm-windows) : nvm install 22.15.0 && nvm use 22.15.0`

+## 🪄 Agent-assisted setup
+
+Most AI agents can add the BrowserStack MCP server, connect to it, and walk you through sign-in without manual config. Paste this prompt into your agent:
+
+```text
+Add the BrowserStack MCP server to this agent, following the setup guide at
+https://www.browserstack.com/docs/browserstack-mcp-server/get-started/remote-mcp-server
+and using the server URL https://mcp.browserstack.com/mcp. Once it is added, start the
+BrowserStack sign-in flow so I can log in.
+```
+
+To add it yourself, use your client's command or menu:
+
+| Client | Command or configuration |
+|---|---|
+| Claude Code | `claude mcp add --scope user --transport http browserstack https://mcp.browserstack.com/mcp`, then run `/mcp` in a session and sign in |
+| Claude Desktop / claude.ai | Settings → Connectors → Add custom connector, with the URL `https://mcp.browserstack.com/mcp` |
+| ChatGPT | Install the [BrowserStack plugin](https://chatgpt.com/plugins/plugin_asdk_app_6a8bf7703f1881918317add0244840a8) |
+| Codex | `codex mcp add browserstack --url https://mcp.browserstack.com/mcp`, then `codex mcp login browserstack` to sign in |
+| VS Code / GitHub Copilot | `code --add-mcp '{"name":"browserstack","type":"http","url":"https://mcp.browserstack.com/mcp"}'`, then start the server from the MCP view and sign in |
+| Cursor | Add `"browserstack": { "url": "https://mcp.browserstack.com/mcp" }` under `mcpServers` in `~/.cursor/mcp.json`, then sign in from Cursor Settings → MCP |
+| Any other MCP client | Point it at `https://mcp.browserstack.com/mcp` |

 ## 🧭 Core Tools
 
 Five core tools let your AI assistant find and run any BrowserStack workflow. Your assistant loads every tool an MCP server exposes at the start of each session, so one tool per workflow would fill your context window and slow down the whole session. Instead, your assistant uses the core tools to search a catalog of BrowserStack tools in plain language and run the one it needs.
