🚀 What is DrissionPage MCP?

DrissionPage MCP Server is a local Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that brings DrissionPage browser automation tools to Claude Code, Claude Desktop, and other MCP clients.

Unlike screenshot-based approaches, it provides structured, deterministic web automation through 21 powerful tools that leverage the efficiency of DrissionPage, a high-performance browser automation framework.

🌟 Why Choose DrissionPage MCP?

• LLM-Optimized: Works with structured data instead of requiring vision models
• Deterministic: Reliable element selection with CSS and XPath support
• Fast & Lightweight: Built on DrissionPage's efficient engine with minimal overhead
• Type-Safe: Full type hints and Pydantic validation for all tools
• Open-source Friendly: Includes compatibility notes, troubleshooting, and CI checks for maintainable contributions
• Easy Integration: Simple pip install + JSON configuration

⚡ First Success Path

# Install from PyPI
python -m pip install -U drissionpage-mcp

# Verify package and environment
drissionpage-mcp --version
drissionpage-mcp doctor

Then add the MCP client configuration below and restart your client.

📦 Setup in Claude Code (30 seconds)

1. Edit MCP configuration:

   • macOS/Linux: ~/.config/claude-code/mcp_settings.json
   • Windows: %APPDATA%\claude-code\mcp_settings.json

2. Add this configuration:

   {
     "mcpServers": {
       "drissionpage": {
         "command": "drissionpage-mcp"
       }
     }
   }
   

3. Restart Claude Code and start using!

🏗️ Architecture

Built with clean, modular design:

DrissionMCP/
├── drissionpage_mcp/
│   ├── cli.py              # Entry point
│   ├── server.py           # MCP server
│   ├── context.py          # Browser management
│   ├── response.py         # Response formatting
│   ├── tab.py              # Page operations
│   └── tools/              # 21 automation tools

├── tests/                  # Unit tests
└── playground/             # Testing utilities

Key Principles:

• ✅ Type-safe Pydantic models for all tools
• ✅ Async/await throughout
• ✅ Clean separation of concerns
• ✅ Comprehensive error handling
• ✅ Unit and protocol test coverage for core tool registration/response behavior

🔧 Configuration

Basic Setup (Recommended)

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "drissionpage": {
      "command": "drissionpage-mcp"
    }
  }
}

Advanced Setup

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "drissionpage": {
      "command": "drissionpage-mcp",
      "args": ["--log-level", "DEBUG"],
      "env": {
        "CHROME_PATH": "/custom/path/to/chrome"
      }
    }
  }
}

See examples/README.md for more configuration options.

---

📋 Requirements

• Python 3.10+ (3.11+ recommended)
• Chrome or Chromium browser
• Any MCP-compatible client: Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Cursor, VS Code, etc.

🧪 Testing

Verify Installation

# Environment diagnostics; add --launch-browser for a browser startup check
drissionpage-mcp doctor
drissionpage-mcp doctor --launch-browser

# Source checkout tests
python -m pip install -e ".[dev]"
python -m pytest tests/

# Coverage report (CI enforces the current 75% floor and uploads coverage.xml)
python -m pytest tests/ --cov=drissionpage_mcp --cov-report=term-missing --cov-report=xml

GitHub Actions runs lint, unit, protocol, package, browser integration, and coverage jobs. Codecov is configured through codecov.yml and the CI workflow; set the CODECOV_TOKEN repository secret so the upload step can publish coverage.xml reliably from GitHub Actions.

Try It Out

# Interactive testing
python playground/local_test.py

# Quick start validation
python playground/quick_start.py

🐛 Troubleshooting

Tools Not Loading?

drissionpage-mcp --version

Should output the installed package version, for example drissionpage-mcp 0.3.0.

Browser Issues?

# Check browser installation
which google-chrome    # Linux
which chromium         # macOS

Claude Code Not Finding Server?

• Verify config file path
• Restart Claude Code after changes
• Check logs: drissionpage-mcp --log-level DEBUG

See docs/troubleshooting.md for the complete troubleshooting guide.

🔒 Security

• Runs locally in your environment
• Uses a local browser that may have access to authenticated sessions, cookies, downloads, and page content
• Can open and interact with any site reachable from the local machine
• Does not require external API credentials

Best Practices:

• Use a dedicated browser profile for sensitive workflows
• Review MCP client prompts before allowing actions on authenticated or production systems
• Respect website terms of service, robots.txt, and rate limits
• See SECURITY.md for reporting and safe-usage guidance
