What ProdPoke MCP server does

The ProdPoke MCP server gives an MCP-compatible AI client access to remote website QA. It launches headless Playwright browsers on ProdPoke infrastructure, navigates the requested site, and returns structured findings through the chat tool. Requests can cover broad scans, accessibility checks, SEO review, performance issues, broken calls to action, visual regressions, and targeted user-flow testing.

The service is conversational rather than a collection of narrowly scoped browser commands. You can ask it to inspect a URL, follow up on reported problems, test another flow, or prioritize fixes. Findings can include a severity, category, title, and description. The available get_credit_balance tool reports how many scan credits remain.

How it works

Connect the client to https://prodpoke.com/v1/mcp using streamable HTTP and send an API key in the Authorization bearer header. ProdPoke classifies the request, starts a Playwright worker on its hosted infrastructure, and streams the resulting findings back in the chat response. No local browser, container, or cleanup process is required.

chat is stateful when you reuse the returned session_id. A session can preserve the URL under review, previous findings, and conversation context across multiple turns. For example, an initial scan can be followed by a request to investigate accessibility issues and then a separate checkout-flow test. Sessions remain available across MCP client restarts for the lifetime of the API key.

A request needs a specific URL before a browser scan can run. Each MCP step has a 120-second timeout, so longer workflows should be divided into several turns using the same session.

Setup and configuration

Create a ProdPoke account, generate an API key from the API Keys settings page, and copy it when shown. The key is displayed only once; if it is lost, revoke it and create another one. Keys use the pp_ prefix followed by 64 hexadecimal characters.

For Claude Desktop, Cursor, or Claude Code, add a streamable HTTP MCP entry with the service URL and bearer header. Restart the client after changing its configuration. Clients that only accept stdio can use the mcp-remote bridge, passing PRODPOKE_API_KEY as the environment variable used by that proxy.

The ProdPoke MCP server runs as a hosted service, so installation is configuration rather than a local package install. An authentication failure usually means the header is missing, malformed, or contains a revoked key. In streamable HTTP configuration, the key belongs in headers, not in env.

Tools and capabilities

• chat: starts or continues a QA conversation using a required message and optional session_id.
• get_credit_balance: returns the account's remaining scan credits.
• Real-browser scans: uses Playwright to navigate sites and test requested behavior.
• Site checks: can report accessibility, SEO, performance, user-flow, visual, and CTA issues.
• Stateful investigation: supports follow-up questions and multi-step testing within a session.

The ProdPoke MCP server charges credits for scans. When the balance is insufficient, the service returns an explicit message stating the required and available amounts.
