CapMonster Cloud MCP Server (Model Context Protocol)

Let your AI agent solve CAPTCHAs on its own. A Model Context Protocol (MCP) server for CapMonster Cloud, available as a Python package and as a TypeScript port (ts/). Works with Claude Desktop, Cursor and other MCP clients.

What it does

• Lists the CAPTCHA types CapMonster Cloud supports.
• Serves CapMonster's live documentation to the agent.
• Creates solve tasks and polls them against the CapMonster Cloud REST API.

This server is the solving part of the workflow. It has no browser of its own — pair it with a browser-driving MCP (e.g. capmonster-mcp-patchright, GitHub) that does the page work (navigation, interaction, reading the live DOM/network, and injecting the solved token back into the page). See capmonster_agent/SKILL.md for the full step-by-step procedure for analyzing a captcha-protected page and solving it this way.

👉 Get your API Key and start solving CAPTCHAs

⚡ Supported CAPTCHAs

Your AI Agent will be able to automatically solve, among others:

• reCAPTCHA (v2, v2 Enterprise, v3)
• Cloudflare Turnstile and Cloudflare Challenge (managed challenge / cf_clearance)
• FunCaptcha (Arkose)
• GeeTest (v3 and v4)
• Enterprise Anti-Bot Systems: AWS WAF, DataDome, Imperva, TSPD, Binance, Prosopo, Yidun, TenDI, Hunt, Altcha, Basilisk, and more
• Image-to-Text & Complex Image Tasks

The authoritative, current list is served live from CapMonster's OpenAPI spec via the get_supported_tasks tool. hCaptcha is not currently supported.

🚀 Quick start

1. Get your API key.
2. Add the server to your MCP client config (see below).
3. Ask your agent to open a captcha-protected page and solve it.

📦 Installation

Requires Python 3.11+ and a valid CapMonster API Key. Run it with uvx (no local clone needed):

uvx capmonster-mcp

Prefer TypeScript/Node? See ts/README.md for the npm-published port — same tools, same behavior.

🔌 Using with an MCP client (e.g. Claude Desktop)

Add the following to your MCP client's config (e.g. claude_desktop_config.json):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "capmonster": {
      "command": "uvx",
      "args": ["capmonster-mcp"],
      "env": {
        "CM_API_KEY": "your_api_key_here"
      }
    }
  }
}

The server only runs over stdio, so there are no HTTP headers to carry a per-request key — CM_API_KEY is read once from the environment and shared by every tool call in the session.

Pair it with a browser-automation MCP server (e.g. capmonster-mcp-patchright) so your agent can both see the page and solve what's on it — see mcp.example.json for a config with both servers wired up together.

🛠 Available MCP Tools

Once connected, your LLM will have access to the following tools:

• get_supported_tasks: Lists captcha task types CapMonster supports, from the live OpenAPI spec.
• get_task_parameters(task_type): Required/optional fields, variant notes, and the solution schema for a task type.
• get_docs(url, offset, limit, section): Fetches a CapMonster documentation page (docs.capmonster.cloud / api.capmonster.cloud only), with section-jump and pagination.
• create_task(task): Submits a captcha task and returns a taskId.
• get_task_result(task_id): Polls a task once.
• get_task_result_wait(task_id, timeout_seconds, poll_interval_seconds): Polls a task to completion (preferred over driving the poll loop yourself).
• get_actual_user_agent(): Fetches a current Windows User-Agent to use as one consistent fingerprint across the browser and the solve task.
• get_balance(): Checks your current CapMonster Cloud API balance.

⚖️ Responsible use

Use this server only on websites you own or have permission to automate, and in line with the terms of service of those websites and applicable law.
