Param	Type	What

Call it

From any MCP client with Vaaya connected, one use call:

{
  "service": "browserbase",
  "action": "create_session",
  "params": {},
  "max_cost_cents": 100
}

Or over HTTP with a Vaaya API key:

curl -X POST https://vaaya.ai/api/run/browserbase/create_session \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $VAAYA_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"max_cost_cents":100}'

Notes

Native x402 — vendor-direct endpoint at `x402.browserbase.com`. Pricing is **0.2¢ per minute** ($0.12/hour) — live-confirmed against the upstream challenge. Total cost = `0.2 × estimatedMinutes` cents, rounded up. Browserbase's MPP rail returns Stripe payment-intent errors for sub-50¢ charges, so x402 is the only working settlement path. Output: `{sessionId, connectUrl, paidMinutes}`. Pair with `browserbase-release-session` (DELETE, free) when done, `browserbase-extend-session` to add more minutes, or `browserbase-session-status` (free) to check remaining time.
