This MCP server provides enhanced browser automation capabilities using Puppeteer-Extra with Stealth Plugin, allowing AI models to interact with web pages in a more human-like manner while avoiding bot detection. It offers a comprehensive set of tools for web navigation, interaction, and data extraction.
The simplest way to use this MCP server is with NPX:
npx -y MCP_puppeteer_extra
You can run the server in a Docker container for better isolation:
Build the Docker image:
docker build -t mcp/puppeteer-extra .
Run the container:
docker run -i --rm --init -e DOCKER_CONTAINER=true mcp/puppeteer-extra
Add this to your Claude Desktop configuration file:
{
"mcpServers": {
"puppeteer": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["-y", "MCP_puppeteer_extra"]
}
}
}
{
"mcpServers": {
"puppeteer": {
"command": "docker",
"args": ["run", "-i", "--rm", "--init", "-e", "DOCKER_CONTAINER=true", "mcp/puppeteer-extra"]
}
}
}
Navigate to any URL in the browser:
puppeteer_navigate({
url: "https://example.com"
})
Capture screenshots of the entire page or specific elements:
// Full page screenshot
puppeteer_screenshot({
name: "homepage"
})
// Element screenshot
puppeteer_screenshot({
name: "login_button",
selector: "#login-btn",
width: 800,
height: 600
})
puppeteer_click({
selector: "#submit-button"
})
puppeteer_hover({
selector: ".dropdown-menu"
})
puppeteer_fill({
selector: "#username",
value: "testuser123"
})
puppeteer_select({
selector: "#country",
value: "Canada"
})
Execute custom JavaScript in the browser context:
puppeteer_evaluate({
script: "document.querySelector('.total-price').textContent"
})
The server provides access to two types of resources:
Access browser console output:
console://logs
Access captured screenshots by name:
screenshot://homepage
Replace "homepage" with the name you provided when capturing the screenshot.
To add this MCP server to Claude Code, run this command in your terminal:
claude mcp add-json "puppeteer" '{"command":"npx","args":["-y","MCP_puppeteer_extra"]}'
See the official Claude Code MCP documentation for more details.
There are two ways to add an MCP server to Cursor. The most common way is to add the server globally in the ~/.cursor/mcp.json
file so that it is available in all of your projects.
If you only need the server in a single project, you can add it to the project instead by creating or adding it to the .cursor/mcp.json
file.
To add a global MCP server go to Cursor Settings > Tools & Integrations and click "New MCP Server".
When you click that button the ~/.cursor/mcp.json
file will be opened and you can add your server like this:
{
"mcpServers": {
"puppeteer": {
"command": "npx",
"args": [
"-y",
"MCP_puppeteer_extra"
]
}
}
}
To add an MCP server to a project you can create a new .cursor/mcp.json
file or add it to the existing one. This will look exactly the same as the global MCP server example above.
Once the server is installed, you might need to head back to Settings > MCP and click the refresh button.
The Cursor agent will then be able to see the available tools the added MCP server has available and will call them when it needs to.
You can also explicitly ask the agent to use the tool by mentioning the tool name and describing what the function does.
To add this MCP server to Claude Desktop:
1. Find your configuration file:
~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json
%APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json
~/.config/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json
2. Add this to your configuration file:
{
"mcpServers": {
"puppeteer": {
"command": "npx",
"args": [
"-y",
"MCP_puppeteer_extra"
]
}
}
}
3. Restart Claude Desktop for the changes to take effect
