What is the Selenium MCP Server?

An MCP server that uses Selenium to interact with a WebDriver instance.

What Selenium does

An MCP server that uses Selenium to interact with a WebDriver instance. Built using the MCP-Server-Starter template.

This server allows AI agents to control a web browser session via Selenium WebDriver, enabling tasks like web scraping, automated testing, and form filling through the Model Context Protocol.

Requirements

Node.js (v18 or later) * npm (v7 or later) * A WebDriver executable (e.g., ChromeDriver, GeckoDriver) installed and available in your system's PATH. * A compatible web browser (e.g., Chrome, Firefox).

Practical notes

Maintained by themindmod, written in TypeScript.
