Summary

Browser automation for AI clients — navigate, click, type, screenshot, and run JavaScript in a real page.

Features

  • Navigate pages and interact with elements
  • Capture screenshots of pages or specific elements
  • Execute JavaScript in the page context

Installation

Set up this MCP server in your favorite AI agent — copy a ready-made configuration below.

Any MCP-compatible agent

Most agents (Claude, Cursor, Windsurf, VS Code, and more) read a standard mcpServers configuration.

  1. Open your agent's MCP configuration file.
  2. Merge the snippet below into it.
  3. Restart the agent — the "Puppeteer" tools will be available.

Description

The Puppeteer MCP server gives an assistant control of a real Chrome browser, which is how it reaches the large portion of the web that has no API.

What it can do
  • Navigate to any URL
  • Interact — click elements, fill and submit forms, select options, hover
  • Screenshot the full page or a specific element, which is how the assistant sees what it is doing
  • Execute JavaScript in the page context for extracting data or manipulating state
  • Read console output for debugging what a page is actually doing
Where it is useful

Testing web applications interactively, extracting data from sites without APIs, filling repetitive forms, and verifying that a deployed change looks right. For agent development, the screenshot capability is what closes the loop — the assistant can check its own work visually.

Notes

Pages that require login mean handing credentials to the browser session, so think about what that grants. For production-scale automation, hosted alternatives such as Browserbase handle proxies, fingerprinting, and concurrency that this server does not.
