Gecko MCP Overview

The gecko-mcp MCP server connects MCP clients to live Floorp and other Firefox-based browsers, including Firefox, LibreWolf, Waterfox, Zen, and Mullvad. It selects Floorp’s local HTTP API when available and otherwise uses Firefox Marionette, preserving access to the browser session’s tabs. Reach for it when an agent needs to inspect pages, navigate sites, complete forms, capture screenshots, or perform browser interactions. Node.js 18 or newer and browser automation enabled at launch are required.

Primary Use Cases for Gecko MCP:
  • Inspect live browser tabs and page content
  • Navigate websites and complete web forms
  • Locate controls and submit browser workflows
  • Capture viewport or full-page screenshots
