Selenium MCP Overview

The selenium-mcp MCP server gives AI agents access to real Chrome, Firefox, or Edge browsers through Selenium WebDriver. It provides 41 tools for navigation, page inspection, interaction, assertions, screenshots, sessions, selector hints, and batched actions. Agents can use page snapshots with stable element references instead of relying only on guessed selectors. Reach for it when browser workflows, responsive checks, multi-session automation, or browser-based testing need to be driven through MCP.

Primary Use Cases for Selenium MCP:
  • Automate browser-based acceptance tests
  • Inspect dynamic pages with stable element references
  • Run responsive checks at exact viewport sizes
  • Manage parallel browser sessions
