json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "selenium": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@angiejones/mcp-selenium@latest"]
    }
  }
}

Example Usage

Tell the AI agent of your choice:

> Open Chrome, go to github.com/angiejones, and take a screenshot.

The agent will call Selenium's APIs to `start_browser`, `navigate`, and `take_screenshot`. No manual scripting or explicit directions needed.

Supported Browsers

Chrome, Firefox, Edge, and Safari.

> Safari note: Requires macOS. Run `sudo safaridriver --enable` once and enable

> "Allow Remote Automation" in Safari → Settings → Developer. No headless mode.
