Overview

Puppeteer-Extra MCP Server is a Model Context Protocol server that enhances browser automation capabilities using Puppeteer-Extra with a Stealth Plugin, allowing LLMs to interact with web pages while mimicking human behavior to avoid detection.

To use the server, clone the repository, install dependencies, and run it in either development or production mode. You can also run it using Docker for containerized deployment.

  • Enhanced browser automation with Puppeteer-Extra - Stealth mode to avoid bot detection - Screenshot capabilities for pages and elements - Console logging and JavaScript execution - Full suite of interaction methods (click, fill, select, hover)
  1. Automating web scraping tasks without being detected as a bot.
  2. Testing web applications by simulating user interactions.
  3. Capturing screenshots of web pages for documentation or analysis.

Cursor

Add this to your .cursor/mcp.json file in your project root, then restart Cursor.

.cursor/mcp.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "mcp-puppeteer-extra-gpaul-faldin": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@modelcontextprotocol/server-mcp-puppeteer-extra-gpaul-faldin"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Claude Desktop

Add this server entry to the mcpServers object in your Claude Desktop config, then restart the app.

~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json (macOS) or %APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json (Windows)

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "mcp-puppeteer-extra-gpaul-faldin": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@modelcontextprotocol/server-mcp-puppeteer-extra-gpaul-faldin"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Claude Code

Add this to your project's .mcp.json file. Claude Code will detect it automatically.

.mcp.json (project root)

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "mcp-puppeteer-extra-gpaul-faldin": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@modelcontextprotocol/server-mcp-puppeteer-extra-gpaul-faldin"
      ]
    }
  }
}

VS Code (Copilot)

Add this to your .vscode/mcp.json file. Requires the GitHub Copilot extension with MCP support enabled.

.vscode/mcp.json

{
  "servers": {
    "mcp-puppeteer-extra-gpaul-faldin": {
      "type": "stdio",
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@modelcontextprotocol/server-mcp-puppeteer-extra-gpaul-faldin"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Windsurf

Add this to your Windsurf MCP config file, then restart Windsurf.

~/.codeium/windsurf/mcp_config.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "mcp-puppeteer-extra-gpaul-faldin": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@modelcontextprotocol/server-mcp-puppeteer-extra-gpaul-faldin"
      ]
    }
  }
}
