tampermonkey-mcp
OfficialProvides tools to read, modify, list, create, and delete Tampermonkey userscripts via the Tampermonkey Editors browser extension.
Click on "Install Server".
Wait a few minutes for the server to deploy. Once ready, it will show a "Started" state.
In the chat, type
@followed by the MCP server name and your instructions, e.g., "@tampermonkey-mcplist my userscripts"
That's it! The server will respond to your query, and you can continue using it as needed.
Here is a step-by-step guide with screenshots.
How to use
First install the following browser extensions:
Then install tampermonkey-mcp globally:
npm install -g tampermonkey-mcp@latestFinally configure your AI assistant to use the tampermonkey tool:
{
"mcpServers": {
"tampermonkey": {
"command": "npx",
"args": [
"-y",
"tampermonkey-mcp@latest"
]
}
}
}Your assistant will call tampermonkey_get_connection_code and return a connection code that you can enter in the Tampermonkey Editors extension.
Claude Code configuration example
npm install -g claude
// either use your local checkout
npm run watch
claude mcp add --transport http --scope project tampermonkey http://localhost:4001/mcp
// or the npm package
npm install -g tampermonkey-mcp@latest
claude mcp add --transport stdio --scope project tampermonkey -- npx -y tampermonkey-mcp
// more browser control needed?
// Open chrome://inspect/#remote-debugging
// [x] Allow remote debugging for this browser instance
// or
chromium --user-data-dir=/tmp/chrome-devtools-mcp-test-profile --remote-debugging-port=9222
npm install -g chrome-devtools-mcp@latest
// install Tampermonkey and Tampermonkey Editors
claude mcp add --transport stdio --scope project chrome-devtools-mcp -- npx -y chrome-devtools-mcp@latest --slim --no-usage-statistics --auto-connect --browser-url http://127.0.0.1:9222Build

Overview
This project implements an MCP (Model Context Protocol) server that allows AI assistants to read and modify Tampermonkey userscripts via the Tampermonkey Editors browser extension.

MCP Server starts - Creates WebSocket server on a random available port
Connection code generated - Format:
<base32(port - 1024)><auth_token><echo_token>User calls
tampermonkey_get_connection_code- Gets the connection codeUser enters code in Tampermonkey Editors - Extension parses code to get port and auth
Extension connects to MCP server - WebSocket handshake with authentication
MCP tools become available - list, get, patch can now be called
