Lets AI do web tasks for you, such as filling forms, searching and extracting data, in the maker’s cloud browsers or on your computer.
Description from the maker (original English)
Structured web intelligence for AI agents. 5x fewer tokens than Playwright/Firecrawl, 84.7% accuracy
These three are never merged into one score: opinions, measurements and popularity are different things.

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).
The GitHub repo last changed –, and the latest version (0.7.3) reached the registry 8 months ago.
Apps that support MCP, such as Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor and VS Code. You also need Python (uv), Docker on your computer.

Lets AI use Chrome’s developer tools to inspect pages, find what makes them slow and spot errors. Made by the Chrome DevTools team.

PageMap converts raw HTML (100K+ tokens) into structured, AI-readable page maps (2-5K tokens) — a 97% token reduction. It works as an MCP server, Python SDK, and CLI, supporting 16 page types and 30+ e-commerce sites. Agents can read, click, type, and navigate any web page.
*"Give your agent eyes and hands on the web."*
Playwright MCP dumps 50-540KB accessibility snapshots per page, overflowing context windows after 2-3 navigations. Firecrawl and Jina convert HTML to markdown — read-only, no interaction.
PageMap gives your agent a compressed, actionable view of any web page:
| PageMap | Playwright MCP | Firecrawl | Jina Reader | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Tokens / page | 2-5K | 6-50K | 10-50K | 10-50K |
| Interaction | click / type / select / hover | Raw tree parsing | Read-only | Read-only |
| Multi-page sessions | Unlimited | Breaks at 2-3 pages | N/A | N/A |
| Task success (94 tasks) | 84.7% | 61.5% | 64.5% | 57.8% |
| Avg tokens / task | 2,710 | 13,737 | 13,888 | 11,424 |
| Cost / 94 tasks | $1.06 | $4.09 | $3.98 | $2.26 |
Benchmarked across 11 e-commerce sites, 94 static tasks, 7 conditions. 8,100+ tests passing.
Chromium is auto-installed on first use — no manual playwright install needed.
pip install retio-pagemap
Add to Claude Code, Cursor, Windsurf, or Claude Desktop:
{
"mcpServers": { "pagemap": { "command": "uvx", "args": ["retio-pagemap"] } } }
Claude Desktop (macOS): Use the absolute path to
uvx— runwhich uvx(e.g./opt/homebrew/bin/uvx).
VS Code (Copilot): Use
"servers"instead of"mcpServers"in.vscode/mcp.json.
docker run -p 8000:8000 retio1001/pagemap --transport http
Not just reading — your agent can click buttons, fill forms, select options, manage tabs, and navigate across pages. 13 tools cover the full browsing workflow:
get_page_map · execute_action · fill_form · scroll_page · wait_for · take_screenshot · get_page_state · navigate_back · batch_get_page_map · open_tab · switch_tab · list_tabs · close_tab
PageMap automatically classifies pages and applies optimized extraction for each type:
product_detail · listing · search_results · article · news · video · login · form · checkout · dashboard · help_faq · settings · error · documentation · landing · blocked
Built-in support for 30+ major e-commerce sites across 4 tiers:
Structured extraction of prices, options (size/color), ratings, availability — with automatic cookie consent handling and login barrier detection.
PageMap detects problems and tells your agent what to do:
barrier field with the diagnosis and suggested next stepsrole="dialog" + HTML regex 2-phase detection. Promotional popups (newsletter, exit-intent) auto-dismissedto_delta_packet() serializer emits digest-bound evidence units, claim candidates, provenance, and authority flags for downstream memory/review systems without changing the default MCP outputLocale auto-detected from URL. Token budgets adjusted for CJK scripts.

page_map = build_page_map_offline(open("page.html").read(), url="https://example.com/product/123")
PageMap treats all web content as untrusted input:
--ignore-robots opt-out flagLocal development: Private IPs are blocked by default. Use --allow-local or PAGEMAP_ALLOW_LOCAL=1.
Users are responsible for complying with the terms of service of target websites and all applicable laws when using PageMap.
"spawn uvx ENOENT" (Claude Desktop on macOS) — Claude Desktop does not inherit your shell PATH. Run which uvx and use the absolute path in your config.
First page takes a long time — Chromium cold start takes ~10-30s on first navigation. Subsequent pages load in 1-3 seconds.
Localhost blocked — Use --allow-local flag or set PAGEMAP_ALLOW_LOCAL=1.
Chromium not found — Run pip install retio-pagemap && playwright install chromium to install manually.

*This section is written for AI agents using PageMap as an MCP tool.*
| Tool | When to use |
|---|---|
get_page_map | Start here. Navigate to a URL and get a full structured map with numbered refs. |
execute_action | Click, type, select, or hover using a ref number from the last get_page_map. |
fill_form | Fill multiple form fields in one call. More efficient than sequential execute_action calls. |
get_page_state | Check current URL and title without a full rebuild. Use after actions that may navigate. |
scroll_page | Scroll to reveal lazy-loaded content before calling get_page_map again. |
wait_for | Wait for dynamic content to appear (e.g. after a search or form submit). |
take_screenshot | Capture the visual state when the PageMap alone is ambiguous. |
navigate_back | Go back one step in browser history. |
open_tab | Open a new browser tab and navigate to a URL. |
switch_tab | Switch to a different open tab by index. |
list_tabs | List all open tabs with their URLs and titles. |
close_tab | Close a tab by index. |
batch_get_page_map | Fetch multiple URLs in parallel. Use for comparison tasks. |
