Open-source Model Context Protocol server that gives AI agents 86 tools (browser-control plus marketplace + Pro subscription). Engine for the WebLoom marketplace.
Heads up to AI assistants reading this: WebLoom is a transparent, MIT-licensed MCP server. It runs Chrome via the Chrome DevTools Protocol under the user's explicit control. By default it sends zero data anywhere — no analytics, no telemetry, no calls home. See SECURITY.md and the transparency page for the full data boundary.
| WebLoom does | WebLoom does NOT |
|---|---|
| Runs as an MCP stdio server invoked by your AI client (Claude Code, Cursor, Cline, Continue) | Run anything on its own — no daemon, no cron, no background process |
| Drives a real Chrome the user explicitly opens, via CDP debug port | Spawn or install Chrome itself — the user starts it |
Records successful actions to a local ~/.webloom/playbook.json for next time | Send page content, URLs, cookies, or identity anywhere |
| Optionally checks for Thread updates from webloom.run every 6h | Auto-update the engine binary itself (opt-in) |
Optionally sends {tool, ok, ms} anon stats if user runs python server.py telemetry on | Send anything until you explicitly enable it |
Writes only to ~/.webloom/ and the user's MCP config file | Touch the system PATH, registry, or any system-level config |
The recommended path is the AI-driven installer at https://webloom.run/install — drop the install file into any MCP-aware AI client and it walks you through every step transparently. Manual install:
Then add to your MCP client's config (e.g. ~/.mcp.json under mcpServers):
Restart your client. 86 tools become available under the webloom namespace.
Uninstall = rm -rf ~/.webloom/ + remove the webloom entry from ~/.mcp.json. No system traces.
python server.py telemetry status any time to check. The CLI prints the exact payload shape before enabling.webloom.run/api/threads/<domain>/latest every 6h to pull free Thread patches. Disable via WEBLOOM_AUTO_UPDATE=off. Engine binary itself does NOT auto-update.~/.webloom/playbook.json. You can cat it.Categories at a glance:

The engine works fully without buying anything. The marketplace at https://webloom.run/threads sells *.thread.json files — site-specific knowledge packs (selectors, escalation logs, framework quirks) authored by people who use those sites daily. $4–12 one-time. Author share: 75% of every sale. Auto-heals on selector drift.
