dawg-mcp

An MCP server that gives AI agents (Claude Code, Codex, …) direct access to the DAWG platform.

🇷🇺 Built for Runet. DAWG is purpose-built for the Russian segment of the web: Russian residential proxies and geolocation (city slugs like moskva, spb, …) and stealth fingerprints tuned for RU sites. If your agent needs to browse or scrape Russian sites (Yandex, Ozon, Wildberries, Avito, gosuslugi, banks, …), this is the tool it was made for.

• 🌐 Remote stealth browser — provision an on-demand Chromium (RU proxy, geo, stealth baked in) and drive it with snapshot/click/type/screenshot tools.
• 🔎 Web scraping — single-page scrape plus crawl/batch jobs returning clean markdown/text/html.
• 📊 Account usage — read the current plan, limits and consumption for your API key.

The browser tools mirror the interaction model of the official @playwright/mcp: the agent takes an accessibility snapshot of the page (an ARIA tree with [ref=eN] markers), then targets elements by ref. This is far more reliable and token-efficient than screenshot-and-guess.

Browsers run on DAWG infrastructure — no local browser is launched or downloaded; the server only attaches to the remote Chromium over CDP.

Requirements

• Python ≥ 3.10
• A DAWG API key (X-API-Key) from https://dawgswarm.ru
• uv (recommended) for uvx/uv run

Install / run

# Recommended — straight from PyPI (fast: downloads a prebuilt wheel)
uvx dawg-mcp

# Or with pip
pip install dawg-mcp && dawg-mcp

# From GitHub (no PyPI), pinned to a tag:
uvx --from git+https://github.com/dawgswarm/dawg-mcp@v0.1.0 dawg-mcp

# Local checkout (development) — run from the repo root
uv run dawg-mcp

# As a module
python -m dawg_mcp

DAWG_API_KEY must be set in the environment. No playwright install is needed — the server connects to a remote browser and never launches Chromium locally.

Register with an agent

Claude Code

Project scope — commit .mcp.json (it reads ${DAWG_API_KEY} from your shell):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "dawg": {
      "type": "stdio",
      "command": "uvx",
      "args": ["dawg-mcp"],
      "env": {
        "DAWG_API_KEY": "${DAWG_API_KEY}",
        "DAWG_BASE_URL": "${DAWG_BASE_URL:-https://dawgswarm.ru}"
      }
    }
  }
}

Or via the CLI:

claude mcp add dawg --scope user --env DAWG_API_KEY=your_key -- uvx dawg-mcp

# local working tree:
claude mcp add dawg --scope user --env DAWG_API_KEY=your_key \
  -- uv run --directory /path/to/dawg-mcp dawg-mcp

Codex

Add to ~/.codex/config.toml (see examples/codex_config.toml):

[mcp_servers.dawg]
command = "uvx"
args = ["dawg-mcp"]

[mcp_servers.dawg.env]
DAWG_API_KEY = "your_key"
DAWG_BASE_URL = "https://dawgswarm.ru"

Tools

Browser — lifecycle

Browser — driving

All take an optional session_id (defaults to the sole active session) and return a fresh AI snapshot after acting. Target elements by ref from the latest browser_snapshot.

Scraper

Account

Typical agent flow

browser_provision()                         → session_id + snapshot
browser_navigate(url="https://...")          → snapshot with [ref=eN] markers
browser_click(element="Login", ref="e12")    → fresh snapshot
browser_type(element="Email", ref="e8", text="...", submit=true)
browser_take_screenshot()                    → PNG to confirm visually
browser_release()

If a ref is stale (the page changed), the tool returns an error with a fresh snapshot appended so the agent can re-select.

Development

uv venv && uv pip install -e ".[dev]"
uv run pytest            # 21 unit/integration tests (no network)
uv run ruff check .

# Live end-to-end smoke test (needs a real key):
DAWG_API_KEY=... uv run python examples/smoke_test.py

# Inspect over stdio with the MCP Inspector:
DAWG_API_KEY=... npx @modelcontextprotocol/inspector uv run dawg-mcp
