dawg-mcp
dawg-mcp gives AI agents access to the DAWG platform for remote stealth browser automation, web scraping, and account monitoring — purpose-built for the Russian web (Runet).
Browser Lifecycle
Provision on-demand remote stealth Chromium browsers with optional Russian residential proxies and geolocation (city slug like
moskvaorlat,loncoordinates)Release browsers back to the pool; list all active sessions
Browser Interaction & Navigation
Navigate to URLs, go back/forward in history
Capture ARIA accessibility snapshots with
[ref=eN]markers for precise element targetingClick (single/double, any mouse button), type, fill forms, select dropdown options, hover, and press keyboard keys (e.g.,
Enter,Control+a)Wait for text to appear/disappear or a fixed duration
Get visible page text or full HTML (optionally scoped to a CSS selector)
Take PNG screenshots (full page or specific element)
Evaluate arbitrary JavaScript on the page and retrieve JSON results
Manage tabs: list, open, select, or close
Web Scraping
Scrape a single page returning content as markdown, text, or HTML (with optional JS rendering, main content extraction, and link discovery)
Start crawl jobs from a seed URL with configurable depth, page limits, concurrency, and URL include/exclude glob patterns
Start batch scrape jobs over many URLs concurrently
Poll or block-wait on crawl/batch job status; cancel running jobs
Account Management
Retrieve current tariff plan, usage consumption, and remaining quota limits for the API key
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., "@dawg-mcpScrape example.com and return as markdown"
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.
dawg-mcp
An MCP server that gives AI agents (Claude Code, Codex, …) direct access to the DAWG platform.
🇷🇺 Built for Runet. DAWG is purpose-built for the Russian segment of the web: Russian residential proxies and geolocation (city slugs like
moskva,spb, …) and stealth fingerprints tuned for RU sites. If your agent needs to browse or scrape Russian sites (Yandex, Ozon, Wildberries, Avito, gosuslugi, banks, …), this is the tool it was made for.
🌐 Remote stealth browser — provision an on-demand Chromium (RU proxy, geo, stealth baked in) and drive it with snapshot/click/type/screenshot tools.
🔎 Web scraping — single-page scrape plus crawl/batch jobs returning clean markdown/text/html.
📊 Account usage — read the current plan, limits and consumption for your API key.
The browser tools mirror the interaction model of the official
@playwright/mcp: the agent takes an accessibility
snapshot of the page (an ARIA tree with [ref=eN] markers), then targets elements by ref. This
is far more reliable and token-efficient than screenshot-and-guess.
Browsers run on DAWG infrastructure — no local browser is launched or downloaded; the server only attaches to the remote Chromium over CDP.
Requirements
Python ≥ 3.10
A DAWG API key (
X-API-Key) from https://dawgswarm.ruuv(recommended) foruvx/uv run
Related MCP server: Navvi
Install / run
# Recommended — straight from PyPI (fast: downloads a prebuilt wheel)
uvx dawg-mcp
# Or with pip
pip install dawg-mcp && dawg-mcp
# From GitHub (no PyPI), pinned to a tag:
uvx --from git+https://github.com/dawgswarm/dawg-mcp@v0.1.0 dawg-mcp
# Local checkout (development) — run from the repo root
uv run dawg-mcp
# As a module
python -m dawg_mcpDAWG_API_KEY must be set in the environment. No playwright install is needed — the server
connects to a remote browser and never launches Chromium locally.
Register with an agent
Claude Code
Project scope — commit .mcp.json (it reads ${DAWG_API_KEY} from your shell):
{
"mcpServers": {
"dawg": {
"type": "stdio",
"command": "uvx",
"args": ["dawg-mcp"],
"env": {
"DAWG_API_KEY": "${DAWG_API_KEY}",
"DAWG_BASE_URL": "${DAWG_BASE_URL:-https://dawgswarm.ru}"
}
}
}
}Or via the CLI:
claude mcp add dawg --scope user --env DAWG_API_KEY=your_key -- uvx dawg-mcp
# local working tree:
claude mcp add dawg --scope user --env DAWG_API_KEY=your_key \
-- uv run --directory /path/to/dawg-mcp dawg-mcpCodex
Add to ~/.codex/config.toml (see examples/codex_config.toml):
[mcp_servers.dawg]
command = "uvx"
args = ["dawg-mcp"]
[mcp_servers.dawg.env]
DAWG_API_KEY = "your_key"
DAWG_BASE_URL = "https://dawgswarm.ru"Configuration

Tools
Browser — lifecycle
Tool | Description |
| Provision a remote stealth Chromium. |
| Release a browser back to the pool. |
| List active sessions. |
Browser — driving
All take an optional session_id (defaults to the sole active session) and return a fresh AI
snapshot after acting. Target elements by ref from the latest browser_snapshot.
Tool | Description |
| Go to a URL. |
| History navigation. |
| See the page — ARIA tree with |
| Click an element by |
| Type into a field by |
| Fill many fields at once ( |
| Choose |
| Hover an element. |
| Press a key ( |
| Wait for text / its disappearance / a delay. |
| Get page text or HTML. |
| PNG image (visual verification only). |
| Run JS, return JSON result. |
|
|
Scraper
Tool | Description |
| Scrape one URL → content. |
| Start a crawl job → |
| Start a batch job → |
| Poll a crawl/batch job. |
| Cancel a job. |
Account
Tool | Description |
| Current usage and tariff plan. |
Typical agent flow
browser_provision() → session_id + snapshot
browser_navigate(url="https://...") → snapshot with [ref=eN] markers
browser_click(element="Login", ref="e12") → fresh snapshot
browser_type(element="Email", ref="e8", text="...", submit=true)
browser_take_screenshot() → PNG to confirm visually
browser_release()If a ref is stale (the page changed), the tool returns an error with a fresh snapshot
appended so the agent can re-select.
