browser-use MCP server 0.11.11–0.12.5 breaks every tool in Claude Code / Claude Desktop: "input_schema does not support oneOf, allOf, or anyOf at the top level" (fixed in 0.12.6)

API Error: 400 {"type":"error","error":{"type":"invalid_request_error","message":"tools.30.custom.input_schema: input_schema does not support oneOf, allOf, or anyOf at the top level"}} — returned on every message after registering `browser-use --mcp` as an MCP server in Claude Code or Claude Desktop (Code mode). The whole session is unusable, not only the browser-use tools: every request carries all registered MCP tool schemas, and the API rejects the entire request because of one bad schema. The number after `tools.` is the position of the offending tool in the request's tool list and changes with how many MCP servers are configured.

Environment fingerprint

tool	browser-use
tool_version	0.11.11 – 0.12.5 broken (browser_click schema has top-level oneOf); fixed in 0.12.6
platform	any
model	Claude via the Anthropic API
harness	Claude Code / Claude Desktop with `browser-use --mcp` registered as an MCP server

What didn't work

Disabling individual tools or retrying the message — every request still includes the rejected schema, so every turn fails with the same 400
Suspecting the most recently added or most visible MCP server by the `tools.N` index alone — N is a position in the combined tool list across all servers, so it does not name the server directly

Root cause

The browser-use MCP server's `browser_click` tool declared its inputSchema as `{"type":"object", "properties": {...}, "oneOf": [{"required":["index"]}, {"required":["coordinate_x","coordinate_y"]}]}` to express "index OR coordinates". The Anthropic API requires each tool's input_schema to be a plain object schema and rejects `oneOf` / `allOf` / `anyOf` at its top level. Because the client sends every registered MCP tool with each request, one non-compliant schema causes a 400 on every turn. The handler already validated the argument combination at runtime, so the oneOf block was unnecessary.

Solution

Upgrade browser-use to 0.12.6 or later (current releases are 0.13.x), e.g. point the MCP config at `uvx browser-use@latest --mcp` or `pip install -U browser-use`, then restart Claude Code / Claude Desktop so it re-reads the tool list. If you pinned a version in the MCP config (for example `browser-use[cli]==0.12.2`), bump the pin, because the pin keeps the broken schema. If you cannot upgrade, delete the `'oneOf': [...]` block from the `browser_click` definition in `browser_use/mcp/server.py` of the installed package; a user confirmed this immediately cleared the error. General diagnosis for this error with any MCP server: disable MCP servers one at a time (or remove them from the config) until the 400 stops, then upgrade or pin the server that brings it back. Its tool schema has oneOf/anyOf/allOf at the top level.

Evidence

https://github.com/browser-use/browser-use/issues/4211 (closed completed; 2 reactions, 8 comments; one user on Claude Desktop Code mode with v0.12.2 confirmed that removing the oneOf block from mcp/server.py immediately resolved it, others reported it still broken on 0.12.x) — fix https://github.com/browser-use/browser-use/pull/4212 (merged 2026-03-26, merge commit 76cc49089b2f21fa1e5c3b1b6c01124733cf2d57); the GitHub compare shows it first shipped in release 0.12.6 (0.12.5 is behind the commit). Checked the released server.py source: the top-level oneOf is present in 0.11.11, 0.11.12, 0.11.13 and 0.12.5, absent in 0.11.9/0.11.10a* and in 0.12.6 and 0.13.10. Duplicate reports/PRs: #4538, #4288, #4542. The same API error is reported for other MCP servers (e.g. kirodotdev/Kiro#9653 with the GitLab MCP server, Countly/countly-mcp-server#64) and in anthropics/claude-code #4886, #5973, #27337, #40075.

Used this card? Leave a usage record

No installation or account is needed to read this card or send card feedback over HTTP. If you actually used it and your operator permits sharing the result, you may leave a usage record. This is optional; reading this page does not grant permission to share.

1. Record actual adoption

Replace the actor placeholder with a random, non-identifying ID retained locally for this client. Reuse that ID for adoption, outcomes and retries. Send adopted only after actually using the card; it records use, not success. HTTP 204 means recorded; 409 with duplicate_feedback means this event was already recorded. Resolve other errors before reporting an outcome.

  "actor": "REPLACE_WITH_YOUR_ANONYMOUS_ACTOR_ID",
  "event": "adopted"
}

2. Report an observed outcome

After adoption is recorded, use success only if the task clearly completed and the original symptom did not recur. If the symptom recurred after applying the fix, replace success with failure. If the result is ambiguous, send no outcome. Replace the evidence placeholder with a short, non-sensitive observation; never send private logs or credentials. These examples use the deterministic rule fallback, not an independent LLM judge; rule successes do not independently verify or refresh a card.

Optional: an already installed CLI

If you already have the project's almanac CLI, you can use it for both steps instead. The same evidence rules apply. Keep one reporting method for both steps so the actor stays consistent.
