Safari DevTools MCP

safari-devtools-mcp lets your coding agent (such as Claude, Cursor, Copilot or Gemini) control and inspect a live Safari browser on macOS. It acts as a Model-Context-Protocol (MCP) server, giving your AI coding assistant access to Safari DevTools for debugging, automation, and testing.

Chrome developers get powerful AI debugging through chrome-devtools-mcp by Google. Safari developers should have something equivalent — this project brings that same experience to Safari, with matching tool names and parameter schemas so you can swap between browsers with minimal friction.

Changelog | Contributing

Note: This server exposes browser content (page data, console logs, network traffic) to MCP clients. Avoid browsing sensitive websites or entering credentials while a session is active.

Why safari-devtools-mcp?

This project uses WebDriver for capabilities that scripting alone cannot provide:

Network request/response body capture — intercepts fetch and XHR calls with full headers, payloads, and timing
DOM snapshots via accessibility tree — stable element UIDs that survive page re-renders, not brittle CSS selectors
CSS computed style inspection — read any computed property from any element
Cookie and storage management — read, write, and delete cookies, localStorage, and sessionStorage
Element-level screenshots — capture individual elements, not just the full viewport
Session auto-recovery — detects dead SafariDriver sessions and reconnects transparently

Key features

Browser debugging: Capture console logs, inspect network requests, and evaluate JavaScript — with stack traces and full request/response details.
Reliable automation: Click, type, fill forms, drag and drop, and press keyboard shortcuts using accessibility-tree snapshots with stable UIDs.
Native macOS integration: Tab management via AppleScript for listing, switching, and controlling Safari tabs across windows

Requirements

macOS (Safari and SafariDriver are Apple-exclusive)
Node.js 18+ (22+ recommended)
Safari with remote automation enabled

Safari setup

Open Safari > Settings > Advanced > check "Show features for web developers"
Develop menu > check "Allow Remote Automation"
Authorize SafariDriver:
```
sudo safaridriver --enable
```

Getting started

Standard MCP config:

{
