GitHub issues

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:

npm install -g selenium-webdriver-mcp@latest

Using Smithery

To install Selenium MCP for Claude Desktop automatically via

npx @smithery/cli install @pshivapr/selenium-mcp --client claude

Claude Desktop Integration

Add to your Claude Desktop configuration:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "selenium-mcp": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "selenium-webdriver-mcp@latest"]
    }
  }
}

Prompts

An example prompt to start AI Agent interaction:

Using selenium mcp tools, navigate to <https://parabank.parasoft.com/> click the 'Register' link and signup using dynamic test data and click register. Then generate selenium tests in <YOUR_FAVOURITE_PROGRAMMING_LANGUAGE> using pom, create tests using cucumber features, steps and execute the tests.
