Selenium Mcp

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.

[npm version] [npm downloads] [CI] [license] [node]

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

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

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

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

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

git clone https://github.com/gaforov/selenium-mcp.gitcd selenium-mcpnpm installnpm run build

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:

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

Tools (41)

Full parameter documentation: docs/TOOL_REFERENCE.md

MCP Resources

• browser-status://current — live browser/session status
• accessibility://current — accessibility snapshot of the current page

Optional Tracing

Enable lightweight NDJSON tracing of all tool calls:

SELENIUM_MCP_TRACE=trueSELENIUM_MCP_TRACE_PATH=./logs/selenium-mcp-trace.ndjson

If SELENIUM_MCP_TRACE_PATH is omitted, the default is logs/selenium-mcp-trace.ndjson.
