Compared with every active server in this category in the registry. Stars count only when the publisher owns the repo.
It passed 1 of 1 applicable basic checks. We have not read the code. Before adding a key or token, see what access the server asks for and use a key with only the permissions you need.
The registry does not list a required key, though some servers ask you to sign in on first use.
It runs on your computer. Your AI app starts it when needed, and data does not pass through the maker’s servers (unless it calls an online service itself).

Fork of mcp-patchright that adds a per-call world: "main" option to browser_evaluate / browser_run_code_unsafe, so page-defined window globals are visible and callable. Defaults to Patchright's isolated stealth world (matching upstream); opt into main only when a page's own script needs to see or be called by your evaluated code. Everything else matches upstream mcp-patchright.

This server drives the browser; the CapMonster Cloud MCP server solves the CAPTCHA and the agent injects the token back into the page. Add both servers to your MCP client config:
{
"mcpServers": { "patchright": { "command": "npx", "args": ["capmonster-mcp-patchright", "--port", "9321", "--host", "127.0.0.1"] }, "capmonster": { "command": "uvx", "args": ["capmonster-mcp"], "env": { "CM_API_KEY": "your_api_key_here" } } } }

npm install
npm run build node dist/index.js
Install the matching Chromium build once, then prepare a release from the exact dependency versions in package-lock.json, run the full verification suite, and inspect the package without publishing it:
npx patchright install chromium
npm run release:check npm publish
By default, browser_start launches Chromium via patchright as headed real Chrome with a persistent profile at:
~/.maestro/stealth-playwright-mcp/profiles/default
You can override it with the userDataDir tool argument or STEALTH_PLAYWRIGHT_USER_DATA_DIR.
To attach to an already-running Chrome instead of launching one, start Chrome with remote debugging and pass cdpEndpoint to browser_start:
google-chrome --remote-debugging-port=9222 --user-data-dir=$HOME/.maestro/stealth-playwright-mcp/profiles/cdp
{ "cdpEndpoint": "http://127.0.0.1:9222" }
browser_snapshot returns Playwright's AI aria snapshot. Use [ref=eN] values from that snapshot with browser_click, browser_fill, browser_type, browser_hover, browser_press, and browser_wait_for by passing { "ref": "eN" }. CSS selectors remain supported via { "selector": "..." }.

What is capmonster-mcp-patchright? A stealth browser MCP server for AI agents with 66 tools, built on Patchright, a patched Playwright with reduced CDP automation signals.
Does it solve CAPTCHAs? No. This server drives the browser. Pair it with the CapMonster Cloud MCP server to solve reCAPTCHA, Cloudflare Turnstile, DataDome and other captchas.
Is CapMonster Cloud a capsolver alternative or a 2captcha alternative for AI agents? For the captcha solving part, yes. The CapMonster Cloud MCP server covers more captcha types than the CapSolver MCP server (reCAPTCHA v2, v3 and Turnstile) and the 2Captcha mcp-captcha-solver project (reCAPTCHA v2), and reCAPTCHA v3 starts at $0.90 per 1,000 solves. See the comparison above and its disclaimer.
