README

puppeteer-mcp-claude

A Model Context Protocol server that gives Claude Code (and any other MCP-aware client) a real browser via Puppeteer — navigate pages, click and type, run JavaScript, capture screenshots, manage cookies, intercept requests.

Requirements

Node.js ≥ 18
An MCP-aware client (Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Cursor, Codex CLI, …)
Chromium is downloaded automatically by Puppeteer on first install (~170 MB)

Install

macOS / Linux

curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/jaenster/puppeteer-mcp-claude/main/install.sh | bash

Windows (PowerShell)

iwr -useb https://raw.githubusercontent.com/jaenster/puppeteer-mcp-claude/main/install.ps1 | iex

Both scripts verify Node ≥ 18, install the package globally via npm, and register it with Claude Code at user scope. Override scope with SCOPE=project (bash) or $env:SCOPE='project' (PowerShell).

Manual — if you'd rather not run a remote script:

npm install -g puppeteer-mcp-claude
claude mcp add puppeteer-mcp-claude -- npx -y puppeteer-mcp-claude serve

Then restart Claude Code and ask: "Take a screenshot of example.com".

Tools

You don't have to call puppeteer_launch first — the browser auto-launches with defaults the moment any other tool runs. Page ids default to "default", so single-tab flows can omit pageId entirely.

Tool	What it does
`puppeteer_launch`	(Optional) launch a browser or connect to an existing Chrome via `browserWSEndpoint`. Use this for stealth mode, proxies, custom viewport, etc.
`puppeteer_new_page`	Open a new tab.
`puppeteer_navigate`	Go to a URL.
`puppeteer_click`	Click a CSS selector.
`puppeteer_type`	Type into an input.
`puppeteer_get_text`	Read `textContent` of an element.
`puppeteer_screenshot`	Capture a PNG — returned inline as an MCP image block, optionally also saved to disk.
`puppeteer_evaluate`	Run a JS expression in page context, returns the value.
`puppeteer_wait_for_selector`	Wait until an element appears.
`puppeteer_close_page`	Close a tab.
`puppeteer_close_browser`	Close the whole browser.
`puppeteer_set_cookies` / `puppeteer_get_cookies` / `puppeteer_delete_cookies`	Cookie jar management.
`puppeteer_set_request_interception`	Block resources by type or inject request headers.

Response format

Every tool returns its result in two parallel forms:

content[0].text — TOON (Token-Oriented Object Notation), a compact, schema-aware JSON alternative. Good for hosts that pipe the text body straight into the model's context.
structuredContent — the same data as a typed JSON object, for MCP clients that prefer machine-readable output.

Which one your host uses is up to the host — both are MCP-spec-compliant. Typed clients that want the object without depending on structuredContent can import { decode } from '@toon-format/toon' and parse content[0].text.

Examples

How an LLM would typically drive this server — each example shows the prompt you'd give Claude and the tool sequence it produces.
