Exposes ui_tree, tap_element, type_into_element, wait_for_element and scroll_to_element, and every action reports whether the UI actually changed. A Mac daemon underneath hands out simulators as TTL leases with a queue and keeps a SIGSTOP warm pool, so a lease gets a live simulator in about 0.28s instead of a 7s cold boot, and multiple agents can share one Mac without colliding.

Verdict: choose MCP Server Browser for browser automation work as a local process; choose Manzanas for browser automation as a local process. You can also run both side by side in one mcpServers block.
