Selenium MCP Server Overview

PhungXuanAnh/selenium-mcp-server exposes Selenium WebDriver browser automation through MCP, connecting AI assistants to Chrome for navigation, tab control, element interaction, screenshots, and more. It supports XPath and iframe targeting, JavaScript execution, browser console and network logs, local storage operations, and optional tab video recording. Install it as a Python package or run it from source, then start the server with a port and Chrome user-data directory. Reach for it when an MCP client needs interactive control of a Chrome session rather than browser actions through a site-specific API.

Primary Use Cases for Selenium MCP Server:
  • Navigate through web pages and interact with forms
  • Inspect elements inside iframes with XPath or other selectors
  • Capture screenshots and record browser-tab workflows
  • Read console, network, and local-storage state during testing
