Selenium MCP Overview

seleniumboot/selenium-mcp MCP server connects MCP clients to Selenium WebDriver for controlling real browser sessions. It supports navigation, page inspection, element interaction, assertions, screenshots, browser storage, tabs, network logs, and JavaScript execution, with Chrome starting automatically when needed. Recorded browser actions can be turned into test code for Java TestNG, JUnit 5, Cucumber, pytest, C NUnit, Playwright, and CI pipelines. Reach for it when an agent needs to exercise a web application, inspect a live page, or turn an exploratory flow into reusable automation.

Primary Use Cases for Selenium MCP:
  • Automate login and checkout flows in a real browser
  • Inspect interactive page elements and generate locators
  • Assert page content, URLs, titles, and element visibility
  • Generate reusable test code from recorded browser actions
