invisible-playwright-mcp

A stealth Firefox browser, exposed as an MCP server, so any AI agent can browse and act on real websites without being blocked by anti-bot systems.

It wraps invisible-playwright (a real Firefox patched at the C++ source for stealth) and hands your MCP client the usual browser tools: navigate, click, type, read, screenshot. The browser is always launched by the stealth engine, so the fingerprint is set inside the engine, not bolted on.

Install (Claude Code)

One line:

claude mcp add stealth --env STEALTHFOX_PROXY=http://user:pass@host:port -- uvx invisible-playwright-mcp

Or add it to any MCP client via a config block (Claude Code, Cursor, Claude Desktop):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "stealth": {
      "command": "uvx",
      "args": ["invisible-playwright-mcp"],
      "env": { "STEALTHFOX_PROXY": "http://user:pass@host:port" }
    }
  }
}

uvx downloads and runs it in one step; no manual install. The stealth Firefox engine is fetched automatically on first use.

Configuration (environment variables)

Variable Meaning
STEALTHFOX_PROXY Your proxy URL (http://…, https://… or socks5://…). Bring your own. With it set, the session's timezone, locale and egress are derived from the proxy automatically.
STEALTHFOX_SEED Integer seed for a deterministic fingerprint (same seed, same identity).
STEALTHFOX_PROFILE_DIR A directory for a persistent profile, so logins survive across runs.
STEALTHFOX_BINARY Path to a specific engine binary (otherwise fetched automatically).
STEALTHFOX_HEADLESS 0 to run headed; headless by default.
STEALTHFOX_CAPTURE_DIR Record every page continuously as JPEG frames into this directory, with a frames.jsonl beside them carrying the url and timestamp of each. Defaults to mcp_captures/ under the working directory.
STEALTHFOX_CAPTURE_INTERVAL_MS Milliseconds between frames (default 200, floor 100).
STEALTHFOX_CAPTURE_QUALITY JPEG quality 1-100 (default 55).

Tools

session_new_page, session_list_pages, session_select_page, session_close_page, browser_navigate, browser_read_text, browser_snapshot, browser_click, browser_click_at, browser_type, browser_press_key, browser_evaluate, browser_wait_for, browser_take_screenshot.

browser_click_at takes viewport coordinates instead of a selector, moves the pointer there rather than teleporting, optionally holds before releasing, and returns a screenshot of what happened - for a slider, a canvas-drawn challenge, or a press-and-hold.

browser_snapshot returns the title, the url and the visible interactive elements rather than the accessibility tree: one country <select> on a real sign-up page contributes about two hundred <option> nodes, which fill the character budget before the form does.

Tool names mirror the Microsoft Playwright MCP, so prompts written for it work here too.

Notes

  • Bring your own proxy. The engine does the stealth; a residential proxy gives you the matching IP and geography. Without one it still runs, but the exit is your own address.
  • This is a browser, not a captcha solver. It does not solve or bypass challenges for you; it makes an ordinary Firefox session look like a real one.
