Firefox Browser MCP — Server

An MCP server that lets an LLM client drive a real Firefox browser — every tab, its DOM, arbitrary CSS selectors, and its network/API traffic. It talks to the companion firefox-extension/ WebExtension over a local WebSocket bridge.

MCP client (Claude Desktop, etc.)
        │  stdio (MCP)
        ▼
firefox-browser-mcp  ──ws://127.0.0.1:9010──►  Firefox extension  ──►  All tabs

Run with uvx

uvx --from ./mcp-server firefox-browser-mcp

Once published to PyPI: uvx firefox-browser-mcp.

Configure your MCP client

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "firefox-browser": {
      "command": "uvx",
      "args": ["--from", "/absolute/path/to/mcp-server", "firefox-browser-mcp"]
    }
  }
}

Targeting tabs

Every tab has a stable numeric id (plus title and url). Get them with browser_list_tabs. Most tools accept an optional tab argument:

tab value Meaning
omitted the currently active tab
123 / "123" the tab whose id is 123
"github.com" first tab whose url contains it
"Inbox" first tab whose title contains it

Environment variables

Variable Default Description
FBMCP_HOST 127.0.0.1 WebSocket bridge host
FBMCP_PORT 9010 WebSocket bridge port
FBMCP_LOG_LEVEL INFO Python logging level

If you change the port, update the bridge URL in the extension popup.
