@roveapi/mcp

MCP server for Rove — a hosted Playwright API for AI agents.

Returns accessibility trees instead of screenshots, reducing LLM token consumption by ~77% (26K tokens vs 114K for a typical page).

Tools

Tool	Description
`navigate`	Navigate to a URL. Auto-creates a session. Supports stealth mode and action jitter.
`interact`	Click or fill actions in the active session.
`extract_schema`	Extract structured data from a URL using a JSON schema.
`screenshot`	Take a screenshot (in-session or standalone).
`get_a11y_tree`	Get the accessibility tree snapshot — the core differentiator.
`close_session`	Close a browser session and release resources.

Why Accessibility Trees?

Traditional browser automation returns screenshots that cost ~114K tokens per page. Rove returns structured accessibility trees at ~26K tokens — 77% fewer tokens, faster responses, and better structured data for LLMs to reason over.
