The Selenium MCP Server enables AI assistants to perform comprehensive web browser automation through a standardized MCP interface.
Browser Management: Open, navigate, refresh, resize, and close browser sessions (Chrome, Firefox, Edge) with headless mode and custom arguments. Switch between windows/tabs and manage page history.
Element Interaction: Find elements using various locators (
id,css,xpath,name,tag,class,link,partialLink), then click, double-click, right-click, type, clear, hover, drag and drop, and upload files.Element State & Data: Check element visibility, retrieve text content and attribute values, and wait for elements to appear with configurable timeouts.
Form & Dropdown Handling: Select dropdown options by text or value and interact with form elements.
Advanced Actions: Execute custom JavaScript, simulate keyboard input, scroll to elements, capture screenshots, and switch into/out of iframes.
Multi-context Support: Manage multiple browser windows, tabs, and iframe contexts seamlessly.
Provides comprehensive web browser automation tools including multi-browser support (Chrome, Firefox, Edge), element interaction (click, type, hover, drag & drop), navigation control, wait strategies, and JavaScript execution for automated testing and web scraping.
Selenium MCP Server
This is a server implementation that bridges the gap between MCP clients (AI assistants) and Selenium WebDriver. It exposes Selenium WebDriver's functionalities as MCP tools, allowing AI models to utilize them for tasks like:
Browser management (launching, navigating, closing browsers)
Element interaction (clicking, typing, finding elements)
Web scraping and automated testing
Advanced operations like screenshots, cookie management, and JavaScript execution
In essence, the selenium webdriver mcp setup allows AI assistants to leverage the power of Selenium Webdriver for web automation, by communicating with a dedicated Selenium MCP server via the Model Context Protocol. This facilitates tasks such as automated web interactions, testing, and data extraction, all controlled by AI.
🚀 Overview
A Model Context Protocol (MCP) server for Selenium that provides comprehensive Selenium WebDriver automation tools for AI assistants and applications. This server enables automated web browser interactions, testing, and scraping through a standardized interface.
Built with TypeScript and modern ES modules, it offers type-safe browser automation capabilities through the Model Context Protocol.
✨ Key Features
Multi-Browser Support: Chrome, Firefox, Safari, and Edge browser automation
Comprehensive Element Interaction: Click, type, hover, drag & drop, file uploads
Advanced Navigation: Forward, backward, refresh, window management
Wait Strategies: Intelligent waiting for elements and page states
Type Safety: Full TypeScript implementation with Zod validation
🤝 Integration
MCP Client Integration
Configure your MCP client to connect to the Selenium server:
Standard Configuration (applicable to Windsurf, Warp, Gemini CLI etc)
{
"servers": {
"selenium-mcp": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["-y", "selenium-webdriver-mcp@latest"]
}
}
}
Installation in VS Code
Update your mcp.json in VS Code with below configuration
NOTE: If you're new to MCP servers, follow this link Use MCP servers in VS Code
Example 'stdio' type connection
{
"servers": {
"selenium-mcp": {
"command": "npx",
"args": [
"-y",
"selenium-webdriver-mcp@latest"
],
"type": "stdio"
}
},
"inputs": []
}
Example 'http' type connection
{
"servers": {
"Selenium": {
"url": "https://smithery.ai/server/@pshivapr/selenium-mcp",
"type": "http"
}
},
"inputs": []
}
After installation, the Selenium MCP server will be available for use with your GitHub Copilot agent in VS Code.
To install the Selenium MCP server using the VS Code CLI
# For VS Code
code --add-mcp '{\"name\":\"selenium-mcp\",\"command\": \"npx\",\"args\": [\"selenium-webdriver-mcp@latest\"]}'
# For VS Code Insiders
vscode-insiders --add-mcp '{\"name\":\"selenium-mcp\",\"command\": \"npx\",\"args\": [\"selenium-webdriver-mcp@latest\"]}'
To install the package using either npm, or Smithery
Using npm:
