🦁 Safari MCP

The browser for your coding agent.

Your real Safari, logged in — no Chrome, no heat, no headless.

80 tools · No Chrome/Puppeteer/Playwright needed · ~5ms per command · 60% less CPU than Chrome

❌ Without Safari MCP

Your AI agent needs to browse. So it either:

Spins up Chromium via Playwright — with no logins, no cookies, no sessions
Uses Chrome DevTools MCP — and melts your fan running a second browser
Relies on headless scrapers — blocked by Cloudflare, reCAPTCHA, and bot detection

✅ With Safari MCP

Your AI drives the Safari you're already logged into — Gmail, GitHub, Ahrefs, Slack, banking.

Native WebKit. ~60% less CPU. Background operation. 80 tools. One npx command. macOS only.
