Project Introduction

MCP-Undetected-Chromedriver is an MCP (Multi Channel Protocol) service that wraps the functionality of the undetected-chromedriver library into a series of easy-to-use APIs. This project is particularly suitable for scenarios that require bypassing modern website anti-bot detection mechanisms in automated testing, data scraping, or web automation scripts.

Key Features

• Based on undetected-chromedriver, effectively bypassing website anti-bot detection
• Provides rich browser operation API interfaces
• Supports screenshots, PDF export, and other functionalities
• Supports complex page interaction operations such as clicking, form filling, dragging, etc.
• Seamlessly integrates with other tools in the MCP ecosystem

Todo List

• Optimize browser driver management and handle driver interruptions
• Extend API capabilities
• Add more comprehensive error handling and logging
• Improve documentation with more usage examples
• Add support for browser profiles and extensions

Usage

Starting the Service

mcp-server-undetected-chromedriver

Available APIs

The service provides the following main API interfaces:

• browser_navigate: Navigate to a specified URL
• browser_screenshot: Take a screenshot of the current page
• browser_click: Click on page elements
• browser_iframe_click: Click on elements within an iframe
• browser_fill: Fill content in input fields
• browser_select: Select options in dropdown selection boxes
• browser_hover: Hover the mouse over elements
• browser_evalute: Execute JavaScript code
• browser_close: Close the browser
• browser_get_visible_text: Get visible text on the page
• browser_get_visible_html: Get visible HTML on the page
• browser_go_back: Navigate backward in browser history
• browser_go_forward: Navigate forward in browser history
• browser_drag: Drag elements
• browser_press_key: Simulate key presses
• browser_save_as_pdf: Save the page as a PDF

Code Example

from mcp.client import Client

# Create MCP client
client = Client()
client.start("undetected-chromedriver-mcp-server")

# Navigate to website
response = client.call("browser_navigate", {"url": "https://example.com"})
print(response)

# Take a screenshot
response = client.call("browser_screenshot", {"name": "example"})
print(response)

# Get page text
response = client.call("browser_get_visible_text")
print(response.content[0].text)

# Close the browser
client.call("browser_close")

How It Works

This service uses the undetected-chromedriver library to create a specialized Chrome browser instance that effectively evades common anti-bot detection mechanisms. The service wraps these features through the MCP protocol, providing an easy-to-use API interface that makes automated testing and web scraping more convenient.

FAQ

Q: Why choose undetected-chromedriver instead of the standard selenium webdriver?

A: undetected-chromedriver is specifically designed to bypass anti-bot detection mechanisms of modern websites, such as Cloudflare, Distil Networks, etc., making it more reliable for data scraping and automated testing scenarios.

Q: How does the service handle browser instances?

A: The service maintains a global browser instance, which is automatically created when an API requiring a browser is first called. The browser can be explicitly closed using the browser_close API.

Q: How to handle elements within iframes?

A: The browser_iframe_click API can directly operate on elements within iframes, without the need to manually switch frame contexts.
