Browserstage MCP Server

browserstage

Snapshot-driven browser automation as a CLI and a stdio MCP server in one bin. Navigate, capture an accessibility snapshot of the page, then act on elements by the references in that snapshot: click, hover, drag, drop, type, fill whole forms, select options, press keys, upload files and handle dialogs. Console messages and network requests are readable tools, and tabs can be listed, created, closed and selected.

The browser sits behind an injectable executor interface (StageBrowser in src/types.ts). This package bundles no browser and downloads none: with no executor configured, browser commands fail with a clear "Browser unavailable" error. Deployments inject a Playwright-compatible executor to drive a real browser. The browser_run_code_unsafe tool runs arbitrary code against the page in the original design and keeps that name and its warning here: only enable it where you would run arbitrary code yourself.
