What is the Camoufox MCP server?

Anti-detection browser automation with Camoufox - stealth Firefox for web scraping. That is what the camoufox mcp server brings to an AI assistant: the same capability, reachable through the Model Context Protocol rather than a separate app or dashboard.

Getting it running

Installation goes through your MCP client rather than a global install: point it at camoufox-mcp on npm and it is fetched when the client starts. The copy-paste blocks for Claude Desktop, Claude Code and Cursor are further down this page.

The tools it exposes

The server publishes 3 tools. What each one is for:

  • Inspection — The Inspection tool exposed by this server
  • Monitoring — The Monitoring tool exposed by this server
  • Utility — The Utility tool exposed by this server

What it needs from you

Configuration is passed through the environment: PROXY_SERVER, PROXY_USER, PROXY_PASS. Treat anything key-shaped as a real credential — scope it to the minimum the server needs, and rotate it if it ever lands in a shared config.

Things to watch

  • It runs with your machine's permissions. That is convenient and also the reason to think about what you point it at before you approve a tool call.
  • Keep per-call confirmation enabled while you learn its behaviour; it is the cheapest safeguard you have.

How it compares

Plenty of monitoring and observability servers cover similar ground. The differences that matter in practice are scope of access and how much setup stands between you and a working tool call. Camoufox's toolset — Inspection, Monitoring, Utility — is a fair guide to whether it matches your workflow. It is maintained by baixianger; worth a glance at recent repository activity before you build anything load-bearing on it.

SyncDev reviews every entry in this directory against the project's own documentation before publishing, and revisits them as servers change.

Frequently asked questions

It connects Camoufox to MCP-compatible AI assistants such as Claude and Cursor, exposing 3 tools (Inspection, Monitoring, Utility) that the assistant can call on your behalf. Instead of copying data back and forth by hand, the assistant works with Camoufox directly.
