Selenium MCP Server

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.

🚀 Overview

The Selenium MCP Server bridges the gap between AI models and web automation by providing a robust set of tools for browser control, element interaction, and web testing. 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, 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": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "selenium-webdriver-mcp"]
    }
  }
}

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": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "selenium-webdriver-mcp"
      ],
      "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\",\"command\": \"npx\",\"args\": [\"selenium-webdriver-mcp\"]}'

# For VS Code Insiders
vscode-insiders --add-mcp '{\"name\":\"Selenium\",\"command\": \"npx\",\"args\": [\"selenium-webdriver-mcp\"]}'
