What is the Notte Cli MCP server?

Control browser sessions, AI agents, and web scraping through intuitive resource-based commands. The notte cli mcp server wraps that behind the Model Context Protocol, so an assistant can use it through 13 defined tools rather than through you.

What it actually does

The Notte CLI brings the full power of notte.cc to your terminal — letting you drive browser sessions, AI agents, and web scraping pipelines from the command line. Pair it with shell scripts, CI/CD pipelines, or AI coding assistants for repeatable, scriptable web automation.

  • AI agents — - run and monitor AI-powered browser functions
  • Browser sessions — - headless or headed Chrome/Firefox with full control
  • Files — - upload and download files to notte.cc
  • Output formats — - human-readable text or JSON for scripting
  • Personas — - create and manage digital identities with email, phone, and SMS
  • Secure credentials — - system keyring for API keys, vaults for website passwords

Its toolset

Everything the assistant can do here goes through one of these:

  • Homebrew — The Homebrew tool exposed by this server
  • Authentication — The Authentication tool exposed by this server
  • Functions — The Functions tool exposed by this server
  • Vaults — The Vaults tool exposed by this server
  • Personas — The Personas tool exposed by this server
  • Profiles — The Profiles tool exposed by this server
  • Files — The Files tool exposed by this server
  • Utilities — The Utilities tool exposed by this server
  • Text — The Text tool exposed by this server
  • Tips — The Tips tool exposed by this server
  • Bash — The Bash tool exposed by this server
  • Fish — The Fish tool exposed by this server

Adding it to your client

Installation goes through your MCP client rather than a global install: point it at skills 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.

Configuration

You will need 2 environment variables: NOTTE_API_KEY, VAULT_ID. The server will not start without them, which is usually why the tools fail to appear on a first run. Keep credentials in your client's env block or a secrets manager rather than in a file you might commit.

When to reach for it

Plenty of browser automation 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. Notte Cli's toolset — Homebrew, Authentication, Functions and 10 more — is a fair guide to whether it matches your workflow. It is maintained by nottelabs; 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.

Caveats

  • 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.
  • With 13 tools registered it takes up a noticeable share of the context window; turn it off in projects that never touch Notte Cli.
  • Missing credentials fail quietly in some clients — if no tools show up, check the environment block first.
  • MCP clients confirm each tool call by default. Leave that on until you have watched what the notte cli mcp server does with a few real requests.

Frequently asked questions

It connects Notte Cli to MCP-compatible AI assistants such as Claude and Cursor, exposing 13 tools (Homebrew, Authentication, Functions, and more) that the assistant can call on your behalf. Instead of copying data back and forth by hand, the assistant works with Notte Cli directly.
