What you can do with it

We have not written a plain-language summary for this one yet. Below are the facts we read from the registry.

Connection: Runs on your computer
Transport: stdio
Category: Web & browsers

Install

Pick the AI app you use, then copy the settings.

Before you install

Basic checks: 1 of 1 passed
Runs on your computer with your user’s permissions (files, network, apps).
The registry lists no key to fill in.

You need

npmNode.js installed (for the npx command)

Which app do you use?

ClaudeClaude CodeCursorVS CodeChatGPT

Pick your app above. We remember it, so next time the button says “Install in …”.

Open Claude Desktop → Settings → Developer → Edit Config, and paste this into claude_desktop_config.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "selenium": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@gaforov/selenium-mcp"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Run this in your terminal

claude mcp add selenium -- npx -y @gaforov/selenium-mcp

Open in Cursor

Or copy the settings yourself

Paste into .cursor/mcp.json in your project, or ~/.cursor/mcp.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "selenium": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@gaforov/selenium-mcp"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Your browser asks to open the app, then the app shows the settings and asks you to confirm. Key values are left empty for you to fill in.

Open in VS Code

Or copy the settings yourself

Paste into .vscode/mcp.json in your project

{
  "servers": {
    "selenium": {
      "type": "stdio",
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@gaforov/selenium-mcp"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Your browser asks to open the app, then the app shows the settings and asks you to confirm. Key values are left empty for you to fill in.

This one runs on your computer, and ChatGPT can only connect to servers on the internet. Pick another app.

Your choice stays on this device in a cookie; no account needed.

These settings are generated from the maker’s registry entry. If the README says otherwise, follow the README.

What it can do

Runs on your computer; the tool list appears in your AI app after you install it.

Common questions

Is Selenium MCP safe?

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.

What keys or codes does it need?

The registry does not list a required key, though some servers ask you to sign in on first use.

Does it run on my computer or in the cloud?

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).

Is it still maintained?

The GitHub repo last changed –, and the latest version (0.3.0) reached the registry 2 months ago.

Which apps can use it?

Apps that support MCP, such as Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor and VS Code. You also need Node.js on your computer.

What can I use instead?

selenium-mcp

Selenium MCP server for AI agents — 41 tools for real-browser automation: navigation, clicking, typing, assertions, screenshots, multi-session management, page snapshots with stable element refs, persistent selector hints, and batched multi-step execution.

Built with TypeScript, the official MCP SDK, and Selenium WebDriver — strict zod input validation, explicit waits, and structured responses designed for LLM agents.

One-Click Install

What's new in 0.3.0

New tools: select_option for dropdowns, scroll (including infinite-scroll pages and scrollable panels), history for back, forward, and refresh, and wait_for_page to wait for a URL or title after a redirect.
Responsive testing: window can now resize the viewport to an exact size, such as a 390x844 phone, or maximize it.
Better tool choice by AI agents: every tool and parameter now explains what it does, what it returns, and when to use a similar tool instead.
Breaking: open_url and wait_until_visible were removed as duplicates. Use navigate, and wait_for_element with visible: true.
Verified releases: every release is tested end to end against a real browser and published with npm provenance.

See the changelog for details.

Setup

Claude Code

claude mcp add selenium -- npx -y @gaforov/selenium-mcp@latest

Claude Desktop / Cursor / Windsurf / other MCP clients

Add to your client's MCP config (e.g. claude_desktop_config.json or .cursor/mcp.json):

"mcpServers": { "selenium": { "command": "npx", "args": ["-y", "@gaforov/selenium-mcp@latest"] } } }

</details>

VS Code

code --add-mcp '{"name":"selenium","command":"npx","args":["-y","@gaforov/selenium-mcp@latest"]}'

Goose

goose session --with-extension "npx -y @gaforov/selenium-mcp@latest"

IntelliJ IDEA / JetBrains IDEs

Settings → Tools → AI Assistant → Model Context Protocol → Add, with command npx and arguments -y @gaforov/selenium-mcp@latest. Full walkthrough in docs/CLIENT_INTEGRATION.md.

From source

git clone https://github.com/gaforov/selenium-mcp.git

cd selenium-mcp npm install npm run build

Then point your MCP client at node /absolute/path/to/selenium-mcp/dist/server.js.

Example Usage

Ask your AI agent:

Use selenium-mcp to open Chrome, go to https://example.com, read the page title, take a screenshot, and close the browser.

The agent chains start_browser → navigate → get_title → take_screenshot → stop_browser on its own — no scripting needed.

Requirements

Node.js 20+
Chrome, Firefox, or Edge installed (Selenium Manager provisions the matching driver automatically)

How it compares

Most Selenium MCP servers wrap WebDriver's basic commands. This one adds the layer that makes agents *reliable*:

Capability	selenium-mcp	Typical Selenium MCP servers
Page snapshot with stable element refs (`capture_page`)	✅	rare
Persistent per-domain selector memory (`selector_hint_*`)	✅	❌
Parallel multi-session browsing	✅	rare
Batched multi-step execution in one call	✅	❌
Built-in test assertions	✅	some
Tool-call tracing (NDJSON audit log)	✅	❌
Strict input validation + structured errors	✅	varies
Every tool and parameter described for AI agents (enforced by tests)	✅	varies
End-to-end tests against a real browser in CI	✅	some

Why selenium-mcp

Snapshot-first workflows — capture_page returns a page snapshot with stable element refs the agent can act on directly, no brittle selector guessing
Selector hints — persist working locators per domain so repeat automations get faster and more reliable over time
Batched execution — batch_execute runs constrained multi-step sequences in a single tool call, cutting round-trips
Multi-session — create, select, list, and destroy parallel browser sessions
Agent-friendly errors — every response is structured and validated with zod, so agents can recover instead of stalling
Optional tracing — NDJSON trace of every tool call for debugging and auditing
