Installation

Quick Start with npx

The easiest way to use Camoufox MCP Server is with npx (no installation required):

npx camoufox-mcp-server

Docker Installation

Usage

Once configured, the Camoufox MCP server provides a browse tool that your AI assistant can use to navigate websites and retrieve content.

Natural Language Triggers

The AI assistant will automatically use the browse tool when you use phrases like:

Basic Browsing:

• "Search for information about..."

• "Visit this website: ..."

• "Check what's on ..."

• "Navigate to ..."

• "Fetch content from ..."

• "Browse to ..."

• "Go to the website ..."

• "Open this page: ..."

• "Look at this URL: ..."

• "Scrape data from ..."

Privacy & Stealth:

• "Browse anonymously..."

• "Visit privately..."

• "Browse in stealth mode..."

• "Hide my IP while browsing..."

• "Browse through a proxy..."

• "Block tracking while visiting..."

Screenshots:

• "Take a screenshot of..."

• "Capture an image of..."

• "Show me visually what ... looks like"

• "I want to see how ... appears"

Performance:

• "Quick browse to..."

• "Fast loading of..."

• "Browse without images..."

• "Lightweight browsing to..."

• "Text-only content from..."

Basic Usage Examples

Can you check what's on example.com?

Search for information on the latest tech news from techcrunch.com

Visit github.com and tell me what's trending

The AI will automatically use the browse tool to navigate to websites and retrieve their HTML content.

Advanced Usage

Please visit example.com using a Windows browser with a 1920x1080 viewport and wait for all resources to load. Take a screenshot too.

More Conversational Examples

I need to research the current stock price of Apple. Can you go to finance.yahoo.com and search for AAPL?

Check if the restaurant's website has their menu online. Visit bistro-example.com and look for their menu section.

I'm looking for job postings in tech. Can you browse to linkedin.com/jobs and see what's available?

Navigate to the documentation site for React and find information about hooks.

The AI can use advanced parameters like:

• os: Spoof operating system (windows, macos, linux)

• waitStrategy: How to wait for page load (domcontentloaded, load, networkidle)

• timeout: Maximum time to wait (5-300 seconds)

• viewport: Custom browser dimensions

• screenshot: Capture a screenshot

• humanize: Enable realistic mouse movements

• locale: Set browser locale (e.g., 'en-US', 'fr-FR')

• block_webrtc: Block WebRTC for privacy

• proxy: Use a proxy server for requests

• enable_cache: Enable browser caching

• window: Set fixed window size

Example with Privacy Options

Browse example.com with WebRTC blocked and through a proxy server proxy.example.com:8080

Example with Custom Preferences

Visit example.com with a fixed 1280x720 window size and custom Firefox preferences to disable JavaScript

Example with Performance Optimization

Browse news.example.com with images blocked for faster loading and a 10 second timeout

Privacy & Stealth Examples

Browse example.com anonymously with maximum privacy and stealth mode

Visit sensitive-site.com through a proxy to hide my IP address

Browse privately to banking-site.com with WebRTC blocked and fingerprint protection

Access geo-blocked content via proxy server proxy.example.com:8080

Screenshot Examples

Performance & Speed Examples

Quick browse to news-site.com without loading images for faster access

Lightweight browsing to documentation-site.com, text content only

Fast loading of search results from search-engine.com, no images needed

Advanced Privacy Combinations

Visit example.com with WebRTC blocked, WebGL blocked, images blocked, and geoip detection disabled

Browse anonymously through proxy 192.168.1.100:8080 with username 'user' and password 'pass' to access restricted content

Cross-Origin & Iframe Interaction

Browse iframe-test.example.com with Cross-Origin-Opener-Policy disabled to allow clicking elements in iframes

Access embedded content on complex-site.com and interact with all iframe elements

Troubleshooting

Common Issues

1. "Camoufox browser not found"

   • Run npx camoufox fetch to download the browser

   • For Docker, the browser is pre-installed

2. "Cannot find module"

   • Ensure you've run npm install or are using npx

   • For global install: npm install -g camoufox-mcp-server

3. "MCP server not responding"

   • Check that the server is properly configured in your AI assistant

   • Verify the command path is correct

   • Check logs for error messages

Debug Mode

To see detailed logs, run the server directly:

node dist/index.js
