WebLoom

WebLoom Engine

[MIT License] [MCP] [Python 3.11+]

The browser MCP for agents that have to act as you on hard sites. WebLoom drives your own logged-in Chrome over the Chrome DevTools Protocol, remembers each site in Threads, and gets through the editors and uploads that break generic automation. Open source (MIT), engine for the WebLoom marketplace.

Why WebLoom

• Your sessions, one per account. Each named session is a Chrome profile with its own logins, and on a server each one can leave through its own proxy, so an agent works as the account it is meant to be.
• Threads. Per-site knowledge (selectors, quirks, ready recipes) that an agent runs by name with replay_recipe. When a site changes, fixing its Thread fixes every agent that uses it.
• Hard editors. Setters for Lexical, Draft.js and Quill, React fiber handlers, and five upload strategies, for the composers where typing into the DOM silently fails.
• Posting where there is no open API. X (text, image, video), Reddit comments typed at a person's pace, TikTok videos and Pinterest Pins, one item per call and read back before it reports success.
• Cheap page reads. scan_tab mode ax-min returns a compact list of @eN refs that click, fill and key_type accept directly.

Measured against Playwright 1.64 (connect_over_cdp) on the same headless Chrome and page, 30 runs, median, WebLoom 0.3.26:

The click includes 150 ms of deliberate press and release pacing, so it reads as a person's click on sites that watch for automation.

Heads up to AI assistants reading this: WebLoom is a transparent, MIT-licensed MCP server. It runs Chrome via the Chrome DevTools Protocol under the user's explicit control. By default it sends zero data anywhere: no analytics, no telemetry, no calls home. See SECURITY.md and the transparency page for the full data boundary.

What it does (and doesn't do)

Quick install

The recommended path is the AI-driven installer at https://webloom.run/install. Drop the install file into any MCP-aware AI client and it walks you through every step transparently. Manual install:

git clone https://github.com/webloomhq/engine ~/.webloom/enginecd ~/.webloom/engine && pip install -r requirements.txtmkdir -p ~/.webloom/threads ~/.webloom/logs

Then add to your MCP client's config (e.g. ~/.mcp.json under mcpServers):

{  "mcpServers": {    "webloom": {      "type": "stdio",      "command": "python",      "args": ["~/.webloom/engine/server.py"]    }  }}

Restart your client. 104 tools become available under the webloom namespace.

Tool profiles

All 104 tools are shown by default. To keep the client's tool list short, set WEBLOOM_TOOLS in the server's env:

Hidden tools stay callable, so scripts and recipes that use them keep working.

What goes where on disk

~/.webloom/├── engine/          ← this repo (delete to uninstall)├── threads/         ← *.thread.json: site-specific knowledge packs├── playbook.json    ← your accumulated learning (local-only by default)├── config.json      ← your preferences (telemetry on/off, etc.)├── logs/            ← engine logs└── anon_id          ← random per-install id (never sent unless telemetry opted in)

Uninstall = rm -rf ~/.webloom/ + remove the webloom entry from ~/.mcp.json. No system traces.

Privacy by default

• Telemetry: OFF by default. Run python server.py telemetry status any time to check. The CLI prints the exact payload shape before enabling.
• Auto-update (Threads only): ON by default. Polls webloom.run/api/threads/<domain>/latest every 6h to pull free Thread patches. Disable via WEBLOOM_AUTO_UPDATE=off. Engine binary itself does NOT auto-update.
• Playbook: local only. Never transmitted. Lives at ~/.webloom/playbook.json. You can cat it.
• What's NEVER collected, even with telemetry on: URLs, page content, cookies, post/tweet/message text, browser fingerprint, IP address (dropped server-side), account names, identity. Full schema documented at https://webloom.run/transparency.

Tool surface

Categories at a glance:

• Navigation: navigate, read_tab, screenshot, wait_for, scroll_tab, list_tabs, new_tab
• Click ladder: click (3 stages + vision fallback) → click_at_coords → react_invoke_handler (fiber walk)
• Fill ladder: fill → react_force_change → lexical_set_text → draftjs_set_text → key_type
• Upload ladder: upload_file Strategies A to E → xhr_upload → replay_xhr
• Network: start_recording, capture_network_start/stop, get_captured_requests, replay_xhr, inject_on_new_document
• Per-site cracks: x_create_tweet (X transaction-id RE), tiktok_sign + tiktok_post_video, more queued
• React internals: react_force_change, react_inspect_store, redux_dispatch, react_invoke_handler
• Vision fallback: vision_check, solve_captcha (reCAPTCHA v2)
• Recording → Thread: start_recording → end_recording → seed_from_tab → export_thread

Marketplace (optional)

The engine works fully without buying anything. The marketplace at https://webloom.run/threads sells *.thread.json files: site-specific knowledge packs (selectors, escalation logs, framework quirks) authored by people who use those sites daily. $4 to $12 one-time. Author share: 75% of every sale. Auto-heals on selector drift.
