MCP server that exposes Abrasio as an agentic browser for AI models
Project description
abrasio-mcp
MCP server that exposes Abrasio as an agentic browser for AI models.
Allows Claude, Cursor, and any MCP-compatible AI to control a real web browser with full anti-detection fingerprinting — the same stealth infrastructure used for web scraping, now driven by AI.
How it works
AI Model (Claude, Cursor, etc.)
│ MCP tool calls
▼
abrasio-mcp server
│ Abrasio SDK
▼
Patchright (undetected Playwright fork)
│ CDP WebSocket
▼
Chrome (local stealth) OR Abrasio cloud worker (fingerprinted, residential IP)
The MCP server holds a single persistent browser session. The AI calls tools to navigate, observe, and interact — no configuration needed between steps.
Installation
pip install abrasio-mcp
Or install from source:
cd abrasio-mcp
pip install -e .
Modes
Local mode (free)
No API key required. Launches Chrome on your machine with Patchright stealth patches.
abrasio-mcp
Best for: development, testing, scraping sites that don't require real residential IPs.
Cloud mode (paid)
Requires an Abrasio API key. The browser runs on Abrasio cloud infrastructure with:
- Real collected browser fingerprints (not spoofed)
- Residential or datacenter IP in the target region
- Persistent profiles that accumulate browser history
ABRASIO_API_KEY=sk_live_xxx abrasio-mcp
Best for: production agents, geo-targeted tasks, heavily protected sites.
Configuration
All configuration is done via environment variables. No config files required.
| Variable | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|
ABRASIO_API_KEY |
(none) | Cloud API key. If set, enables cloud mode. If unset, uses local mode. |
ABRASIO_HEADLESS |
true |
Run browser headless. Set false to see the browser window (local mode only). |
ABRASIO_REGION |
(none) | Target region for geo-configuration, e.g. BR, US, DE. Configures locale and timezone automatically. |
ABRASIO_HUMANIZE |
false |
Set true to enable human-like interaction timing on all actions (slower but more realistic). |
ABRASIO_TRANSPORT |
stdio |
MCP transport: stdio for local clients, streamable-http for remote/production. |
ABRASIO_HOST |
127.0.0.1 |
Bind host when using streamable-http transport. |
ABRASIO_PORT |
8931 |
Bind port when using streamable-http transport. |

browser_get_url
Get the current page URL.

Observation
browser_screenshot
Take a screenshot of the current page.

Use this at the start of a task and after each major interaction to confirm the expected result.
browser_get_text
Extract all visible text from the current page body.
Returns: Plain text string. Useful for reading articles, prices, search results, or any text-based content without parsing HTML.

body |
CSS selector for the target element |
Returns: HTML string of the matched element.
browser_find_elements
Find all interactive elements on the page.
Returns: JSON array. Each item represents a clickable, fillable, or otherwise interactive element:
[
{
"tag": "button",
"type": "submit",
"text": "Sign in",
"href": null,
"selector": "button.login-btn",
"x": 720,
"y": 412,
"visible": true
},
{
"tag": "input",
"type": "email",
"text": "",
"href": null,
"selector": "input[name=\"email\"]",
"x": 720,
"y": 340,
"visible": true
}
]
| Field | Description |
|---|---|
tag |
HTML tag name |

Input type (text, email, submit, etc.) or null |
text |
Visible text, value, placeholder, or aria-label (up to 120 chars) |
href |
Link URL for anchor elements |
selector |
CSS selector hint — use this with browser_click and browser_fill |
x, y |
Center coordinates in the viewport |
visible |
Whether the element is within the current viewport |
Call
browser_find_elementsbefore interacting to get the correct selector forbrowser_clickandbrowser_fill.
browser_wait_for
Wait for an element to appear in the DOM.
| Parameter | Type | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|---|

string |
(required) | CSS selector to wait for |
timeout |
integer |
10000 |
Maximum wait time in milliseconds |
Returns: JSON object with found: true, the selector, and the element's text content.
Use this after triggering actions that cause loading states (form submissions, route changes, AJAX updates).
Interaction
All interaction tools use the Abrasio human simulation layer:
- Clicks use WindMouse — a physics-based cursor movement algorithm that mimics real hand movement with gravity, wind perturbations, and velocity management.
- Typing uses character-level timing with realistic delays, burst typing, and occasional typos followed by backspace correction.
- Scrolling uses a 3-phase easing curve (acceleration → constant → deceleration).
browser_click

| Parameter | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
selector |
string |
CSS selector for the element to click |
Returns: Confirmation string.
Clicked: button#submit
browser_fill
Click a form input and fill it with text.
| Parameter | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
selector |
string |
CSS selector for the input element |
text |
string |
Value to type into the field |
Clears any existing value, clicks the field, then types with human-like timing.
Returns: Confirmation string with character count.
Prefer
browser_filloverbrowser_typewhen targeting a specific input. Usebrowser_typeonly when the input is already focused.
browser_type
Type text at the current cursor position.
| Parameter | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
text |
string |

Uses WindMouse movement to reach the element. Useful for revealing dropdown menus, tooltips, or hover-triggered UI elements.
Returns: Confirmation string.
browser_press
Press a keyboard key or key combination.
| Parameter | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
key |
string |
Key name or combination |
Common values:
| Key string | Action |

Evaluation
browser_evaluate
Execute JavaScript in the current page context.
| Parameter | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
script |
string |
JavaScript expression or function |
The script can be a simple expression or a function that returns a value:
// Expression
document.title
// Arrow function
() => document.querySelectorAll('h2').length
// Function with logic
() => {
const el = document.querySelector('#price');
return el ? el.innerText.trim() : null;
}
// Read localStorage
() => ({ token: localStorage.getItem('auth_token') })
Returns: JSON-serialized result of the script execution.
Use this for data extraction that
browser_get_textandbrowser_get_htmlcannot handle — structured data, counts, computed values, or interacting with the page's JavaScript environment.
Patterns and best practices
Starting a task
Always begin with a screenshot to understand the current state:
1. browser_navigate("https://target.com")
2. browser_screenshot() ← see what loaded
3. browser_find_elements() ← discover available interactions
Filling a login form
1. browser_navigate("https://site.com/login")
2. browser_screenshot()
3. browser_find_elements() ← get selectors for email/password fields
4. browser_fill("input[name='email']", "user@example.com")
5. browser_fill("input[name='password']", "secret")
6. browser_click("button[type='submit']")
7. browser_wait_for(".dashboard") ← wait for redirect
8. browser_screenshot() ← confirm login succeeded
Handling dynamic content
1. browser_click(".load-more-btn")
2. browser_wait_for(".new-items-loaded") ← wait for content
3. browser_get_text() ← extract updated content
Extracting structured data
1. browser_navigate("https://shop.com/product/123")
2. browser_evaluate("() => ({ name: document.querySelector('h1').innerText, price: document.querySelector('.price').innerText })")
Navigating paginated results
1. browser_navigate("https://site.com/results?page=1")
2. browser_get_text()
3. browser_click("a[aria-label='Next page']")
4. browser_wait_for(".results")
5. browser_get_text()

Session lifecycle
The browser session is lazy-started: the MCP server process starts immediately, and the browser only opens when the first tool is called. The session persists for the lifetime of the server process — navigation history, cookies, and localStorage are preserved across all tool calls.
On SIGTERM or SIGINT, the server calls Abrasio.close() which signals the worker to stop (in cloud mode) before dropping the CDP connection, ensuring proper billing finalization.
Browser agent (browser.py)
AbrasioBrowserAgent wraps Abrasio (the SDK's unified class) and holds a single Page object. All tools delegate to this agent. The asyncio.Lock on ensure_started prevents concurrent initialization if two tools are called in rapid succession before the browser is ready.
All interaction methods use the human/actions.py primitives from the Abrasio SDK directly — no custom mouse or keyboard simulation is implemented in abrasio-mcp.
Requirements
- Python 3.10+
mcp >= 1.0.0abrasio >= 0.1.2(installspatchrightautomatically)- For cloud mode: an Abrasio API key (
