SECURITY

An MCP listing is not a security review

An MCP server may receive model context, credentials, local files, or permission to call external systems. Review its code, requested environment variables, network behavior, package provenance, and maintenance status before connecting it to an agent.

MCP Selenium Server

A Model Context Protocol (MCP) server for Selenium WebDriver — browser automation for AI agents.

Setup

Goose (Desktop)

Paste into your browser address bar:

goose://extension?cmd=npx&arg=-y&arg=%40angiejones%2Fmcp-selenium%40latest&id=selenium-mcp&name=Selenium%20MCP&description=automates%20browser%20interactions

Goose (CLI)

goose session --with-extension "npx -y @angiejones/mcp-selenium@latest"

Claude Code

claude mcp add selenium -- npx -y @angiejones/mcp-selenium@latest

Cursor / Windsurf / other MCP clients

{
  "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.
