crowd-test-mcp 🔥

The mob, on tap — an MCP server for crowd-test.

Ask Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor, or any MCP client to unleash a crowd of AI virtual users — impatient shoppers, confused seniors, keyboard-only users, chaos monkeys — on your website. They browse it in real Chromium, file findings, and hand back a damage report with a survival grade (S–F).

"Send the mob at https://staging.myapp.com and tell me what to fix first."

That's the whole workflow now.

Install

pip install crowd-test-mcp

An LLM key is required in the server's environment: ANTHROPIC_API_KEY or OPENAI_API_KEY.

Claude Code

claude mcp add crowd-test -e ANTHROPIC_API_KEY=sk-... -- crowd-test-mcp

Claude Desktop / Cursor / anything MCP

The verification tribunal

Findings can be cross-examined by up to three independent harnesses before they count against the grade — a skeptical detective agent, a raw Playwright probe, and a Microsoft Webwright agent. Automation artifacts get disputed instead of panicking you. Details in the crowd-test README.

Deeper layers need one-time extras:

pip install crowd-test[probe] && playwright install chromium   # verify="cross"
pip install git+https://github.com/microsoft/Webwright         # verify="tribunal"

Good to know

• Runs take minutes, not seconds — every persona drives a real browser. Start with 2–3 personas; escalate to mob=10 when you mean it.

• Only test what you own. The mob is for your own staging and production sites, not other people's.

• Reports default to ~/crowd-test-reports/<host>-<timestamp>/.
