Auth Fetch MCP
Browser Automation · Local stdio
Quality: 52/100 (Good) | Auth: No auth required
Verdict Summary: Choose Manzanas if you need specialized Browser Automation tools running via a local process. Choose Auth Fetch MCP if your workspace requires Browser Automation integration with local subprocess execution. Both servers can be configured concurrently in your client's mcpServers manifest.
Which MCP Server Should You Choose?
Choose Manzanas when:
You need dedicated capabilities in the Browser Automation domain.
You prefer local stdio subprocess transport architecture.
Your security boundary fits: No auth required (Free / Open Source).
Primary tools included: Accessibility-based UI inspection and interaction, TTL leases with FIFO queuing, Warm simulator park and thaw.
Drive iOS simulators from Claude Code, Cursor or Codex by accessibility label instead of screenshot-and-tap-coordinates. 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. Open source, MIT.

Select Manzanas when you need capabilities focused on browser automation and Auth Fetch MCP when you require tools for browser automation.
Fetch content from login-protected web pages (Notion, Google Docs, Jira, Confluence, etc.) by opening a real browser for authentication with persistent session caching.
The primary tool. Fetches page content using a real browser, opening a window for login if needed. Returns cleaned HTML with noise elements (nav, footer, scripts, etc.) stripped and media tags (`<img>`, `<video>`, `<iframe>`) preserved.
download_media
Downloads files from URLs using saved browser sessions. Use this to lazily download images, videos, or other files found in `auth_fetch` results. The browser's saved cookies handle authentication automatically — no need to log in again.
list_pages
Lists all open tabs in the browser with their URLs and titles.
close_browser
Closes the browser window. Login sessions are saved and will be reused next time.
