A side-by-side look at the Noncelogic MCP and Selenium MCP MCP servers: transport, auth, tools, quality signals, and the config to install either one in Claude, Cursor, Windsurf or VS Code.
Verdict: choose Noncelogic MCP for browser automation work as a local process; choose Selenium MCP for browser automation as a local process. You can also run both side by side in one mcpServers block.

navigateNavigate to a URL in a hosted Chromium browser and return the page title and final URL after redirects. Creates a new browser session automatically if no session_id is provided. Use this as the first step in any browser automation workflow. Use stealth mode when visiting public websites that may block automated browsers. Use action_delay_ms to add human-like jitter between subsequent actions in the same session.interactPerform a click or fill action on a page element in an active browser session. Use "click" to click buttons, links, checkboxes, or any clickable element by CSS selector. Use "fill" to type text into input fields, textareas, or contenteditable elements — pass the target CSS selector and the text value in params. Requires an active session created by the navigate tool. Do not use this for navigation — use the navigate tool instead.extract_schemaExtract structured data from a web page according to a JSON schema. Navigates to the given URL, renders the page in a headless browser, and returns data matching your schema definition. Use this instead of navigate + get_a11y_tree when you need specific structured fields (e.g. product name, price, rating) rather than a full page snapshot. Each key in the schema should map to a CSS selector or description of the data to extract.screenshotCapture a PNG screenshot of a web page. Operates in two modes: (1) Pass a session_id to screenshot the current page in an active session — use this when you need to see the visual state after interactions. (2) Pass a url without session_id to take a one-shot screenshot without creating a persistent session — use this for quick visual checks. Returns a URL to the screenshot image. Prefer get_a11y_tree over screenshot when you need to read page content, as it uses 77% fewer tokens.get_a11y_treeGet a structured accessibility tree snapshot of the current page in an active browser session. Returns a hierarchical representation of all visible elements including their roles, names, values, and states — similar to what a screen reader sees. Use this as the primary way to read page content, as it uses 77% fewer tokens than a screenshot. Use this after navigate to understand page structure, find interactive elements by their accessible names, or verify that an action changed the page state. Requires a session created by navigate.close_sessionClose a browser session and release its server-side resources (browser context, memory, and any open pages). Call this when you are done with a browser session to free resources and avoid hitting session limits. If the closed session is the currently active session, the internal session reference is cleared — subsequent tool calls will need a new navigate to create a fresh session.clickClick an element on the page by CSS selector, accessible label or a11y tree ref. Use this to interact with buttons, links, checkboxes, and other clickable elements. In a supervised session, a click that opens a popup makes the popup the current page.fillType text into a form field. By default clears any existing value first, then types the new value.get_textExtract the text content of an element on the page. Useful for reading specific values like prices, headings, or status messages.scrollScroll the page in a given direction, or scroll a specific scrollable element. Useful for loading lazy content or reaching elements below the fold.evaluateExecute arbitrary JavaScript in the browser page context. Returns the result of the expression. Use for advanced DOM queries, custom extraction logic, or page manipulation.list_pagesList the pages open in this session's browser, with page ids, opener, URL, title and status, and which page is current. Popups the page opened appear here. Does not count as a fresh observation.start_browserStart a browser session (Chrome, Firefox, or Edge) that all other tools act on. Call this first. Only one session can be started this way: call stop_browser before starting another, or use session_create to run several browsers at once. The matching driver is downloaded automatically by Selenium Manager. Returns the session status.navigateOpen a URL in the current tab and wait for the page to load (up to the pageLoadTimeoutMs set in start_browser). Returns the final URL after any redirects, and the page title. Use history to go back, forward, or refresh; use wait_for_page when a later redirect or client-side route change still has to happen.historyBrowser history navigation: go back to the previous page (like the Back button), go forward to the next page, or refresh/reload the current page (like F5). Waits for the page to load and returns the new URL and title. To open a specific URL, use navigate instead. Element refs from an earlier capture_page may be stale afterwards, so capture the page again before using refs. Refresh can reset unsaved form input.clickClick an element: waits until it is visible and enabled, then clicks it (scrolling it into view). Target it by selector or by a ref from capture_page. If clicks fail intermittently because of overlays, animations, or re-rendering, use retry_click; for double-click, right-click, or hover, use interact. Fails with the reason if the element does not become clickable within timeoutMs.interactMouse actions beyond a plain click: double_click, right_click (opens a context menu), hover (reveals menus and tooltips), or click performed as a real mouse move-and-click. Waits for the element to be visible (hover) or visible and enabled (clicks). Target it by selector or by a ref from capture_page. For an ordinary click, prefer click.typeType text into an input, textarea, or other editable element. Waits for it to be visible, clears the current value first (clearFirst: false appends instead), then sends the text as keystrokes so the page's input events fire; submit: true presses Enter afterwards. Target it by selector or by a ref from capture_page. For dropdowns use select_option; for single keys like Tab or Escape use press_key.select_optionSelect an option in a native <select> dropdown by visible text, value, or zero-based index, and return the resulting selection. Waits for the dropdown to be visible, then clicks the option like a user so change events fire; on a multi-select it adds to the current selection. If nothing matches, the error lists the available options so you can retry. Only for real <select> elements; for custom dropdowns built from other elements, click the trigger and then the option.scrollScroll the page: scroll down or up by pixels, jump to the top or bottom, or scroll an element into view (to the middle of the screen). Also scrolls inside a scrollable container (chat panels, tables, sidebars with their own scrollbar) when you pass that container as selector/ref together with to or deltaX/deltaY. Returns the scroll position with atTop/atBottom flags. For lazy-loaded or infinite-scroll pages ('load more' on scroll), scroll to the bottom, wait_for_element for the new items, and repeat until atBottom stays true and nothing new appears. click and type already scroll their target into view, so use this to reveal content or trigger lazy loading.get_textRead the visible text of an element: what a user sees, not hidden text or an input's value. Waits for the element to be visible, then returns its text (trimmed by default). Target it by selector or by a ref from capture_page. To read an input's value or any attribute, use get_attribute; to check text as a pass/fail test step, use assert_text.get_attributeRead an attribute or property of an element, e.g. an input's value, a link's href, or whether it is disabled, checked, or aria-expanded. Waits for the element to exist (it does not need to be visible). Returns the value, or null if it is not set; the live property wins when one exists, so 'value' gives the text currently in an input. Use get_text for visible text, and assert_attribute to check a value as a test step.assert_textTest step: check that an element's visible text equals, contains (default), or matches a regular expression. Waits for the element to be visible, then checks once (it does not wait for the text to change). Passes with the actual text, or fails as a tool error showing expected vs actual, so it works as an acceptance check. Use get_text to just read text without a pass/fail.assert_visibleTest step: check that an element becomes visible within timeoutMs, e.g. a success banner or a cart badge. Passes as soon as it is displayed; fails as a tool error if it is missing or stays hidden. Similar to wait_for_element with visible: true, but phrased as a pass/fail assertion.Paste either block (or both) into your client config, e.g. claude_desktop_config.json or ~/.cursor/mcp.json. We only show a config when the install command is confirmed.
