Overview

AI-generated overview

A local MCP server that connects AI assistants to the BabelWrap API so they can drive browser sessions: navigate, click, fill forms, extract data and take snap.

What you can do
Create, close and manage browser sessions, including listing and switching between multiple tabs and moving through history with back and forward actions. Navigate to URLs, inspect the current page state, wait for conditions, scroll and hover over elements. Interact with pages by clicking elements, pressing keys, filling form fields, submitting forms and uploading files. Extract structured data from pages and capture screenshots.
When to use it
Useful when an assistant needs to operate real web pages rather than just read them: filling in forms, walking through multi-step flows, collecting structured data from sites, or capturing screenshots as part of a task.
Requirements
Runs as a local process, installed via uvx, pip or pipx. Requires a BabelWrap account and an API key supplied in the BABELWRAP_API_KEY environment variable. An optional BABELWRAP_API_URL variable overrides the default API base URL. Network access to the BabelWrap API is needed.
Before you install
The API key is a secret passed in BABELWRAP_API_KEY; keep it out of shared configuration files. The server can click, fill, submit forms and upload files on live websites, so actions may change data or trigger real transactions. Page content and browsing activity are sent to the BabelWrap API, a third party.

Installation

In SourceWeft

  1. Open Babelwrap Mcp in the dashboard and add it to a workspace.
  2. 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.

Other MCP clients

Follow the launch instructions in the repository.

50% 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.

    Keep the endpoint answering the MCP handshake; SourceWeft probes it every 30 days.

  • Auth declared10 pts

    Declare the credential headers in the registry entry, or keep the endpoint answering the probe so its auth can be classified.
