Security note

MCP servers receive tool arguments from a conversation and may perform external actions. Review what a server can do before you enable it, and give it only the access it needs.

The registry verified that this server's namespace belongs to shiplight.ai. It runs from a package rather than a hosted endpoint, so there is no endpoint to match against that domain.

SourceWeft's checks cover whether the listing is complete and the endpoint answered; they do not review the server's code or what its tools do.

Overview

AI-generated overview

Shiplight is a local MCP server that gives an AI assistant browser automation capabilities.

What you can do: Shiplight runs as a local MCP server over stdio and provides browser automation to an AI assistant. It is associated with Playwright-style locator generation: with the PWDEBUG environment variable set to "console", it can produce semantic locators such as getByRole and getByTestId for action entities; without it, only XPath locators are available. The manifest does not list individual tools.
When to use it: Consider it when you want an assistant to drive or inspect a browser on your own machine, for example to automate page interactions or generate locators for test actions. It is a desktop-only local process, so it is not suited to headless or remote-only setups.
Requirements: Runs as a local process on the user's machine via the npm package @shiplightai/mcp over stdio. Desktop only; no web executable. No authentication is declared. To get semantic locators (getByRole, getByTestId) rather than XPath only, the environment variable PWDEBUG must be set to "console".

Before you install

The server drives a browser on your machine, so it can act on pages and sessions you are logged into; review what it is allowed to do before running it. The manifest declares no authentication, so anyone who can start the process can use it. Setting PWDEBUG to "console" changes locator generation behavior.

Installation

In SourceWeft

Open Shiplight in the dashboard and add it to a workspace.
Enable the server for the chats that should use its tools.

Desktop only via STDIO. STDIO servers start a local process, so they need the SourceWeft desktop host.

Tools

SourceWeft has not started this package in its sandbox yet, so its tools are not known.

25% of the applicable checks met

How complete this listing is, computed from the registry entry, the endpoint and public sources. Not a rating of the server and not a statement that it is safe or working today: reachability is a dated check, and no installs or reviews go into the score.
