seleniumboot-mcp 0.2.1

A Python MCP server for Selenium WebDriver — browser automation, Java TestNG/JUnit5/Cucumber codegen, and Page Object Model generation

seleniumboot-mcp

A Python Model Context Protocol (MCP) server for Selenium WebDriver automation. Let Claude or GitHub Copilot control a real browser — navigate pages, interact with elements, run assertions, and generate ready-to-run Java TestNG / JUnit 5 / Cucumber / pytest test code from recorded sessions. 43 tools. No ChromeDriver setup. Browser auto-starts on first use.

---

Installation

pip install seleniumboot-mcp

Requires Python 3.10+ and Chrome. No separate ChromeDriver needed — Selenium Manager handles it automatically.

---

Setup

VS Code (Claude / Copilot)

Add .vscode/mcp.json to your project root:

{
  "servers": {
    "selenium": {
      "type": "stdio",
      "command": "seleniumboot-mcp"
    }
  }
}

Open the project in VS Code → click the Start button that appears above the config → done.

Claude Desktop

Edit your Claude Desktop config:

• Windows: %APPDATA%\claude-desktop\config.json
• macOS: ~/.config/claude-desktop/config.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "selenium": {
      "command": "seleniumboot-mcp"
    }
  }
}

Restart Claude Desktop.

How to use

Once the server is running, talk to Claude naturally — no start_browser call needed, Chrome launches automatically on first use:

Go to https://myapp.com and fill the login form with admin/password, then click Login

Assert the dashboard heading is visible

Generate a Java TestNG test class for everything we just did

Generate a Gherkin feature file and step definitions for the login flow

Claude controls the real browser, records every action, and on request generates complete test code ready to paste into your Maven or Gradle project.

Codegen Examples

Java TestNG

Go to https://myapp.com/login, enter admin/password, click Login
→ Generate a Java TestNG test

public class LoginTest {
    @BeforeMethod public void setUp() { driver = new ChromeDriver(); ... }
    @AfterMethod  public void tearDown() { driver.quit(); }

    @Test
    public void recordedFlowTest() {
        driver.get("https://myapp.com/login");
        WebElement f = wait.until(visibilityOf(By.cssSelector("#username")));
        f.clear(); f.sendKeys("admin");
        wait.until(elementToBeClickable(By.cssSelector("button[type='submit']"))).click();
    }
}

Page Object Model

Generate a Java Page Object for the login page

// LoginPage.java
public class LoginPage {
    private final By usernameField = By.cssSelector("#username");
    private final By submitButton  = By.cssSelector("button[type='submit']");

    public LoginPage enterUsernameField(String text) { ... return this; }
    public LoginPage clickSubmitButton()              { ... return this; }
}

// LoginTest.java
public class LoginTest {
    @Test public void recordedFlowTest() {
        driver.get("https://myapp.com/login");
        page.enterUsernameField("admin").clickSubmitButton();
    }
}

Cucumber / Gherkin

Generate a Gherkin feature file and step definitions for the login flow

Feature: Login

  Scenario: User logs in with valid credentials
    Given I navigate to "https://myapp.com/login"
    And I enter "admin" in the username field
    And I enter "password" in the password field
    And I click the submit button

// LoginSteps.java
public class LoginSteps {
    @Given("I navigate to {string}")
    public void iNavigateTo(String url) { driver.get(url); }

    @And("I enter {string} in the username field")
    public void iEnterInUsernameField(String text) { ... el.sendKeys(text); }

    @And("I click the submit button")
    public void iClickTheSubmitButton() { wait.until(...).click(); }
}

• Auto-start browser on first use (no explicit start_browser needed)
• Page Object Model generation (generate_java_page_object)
• Cucumber / Gherkin step generation (generate_gherkin)
• CI/CD config generator (GitHub Actions, Jenkins)
• Self-healing locators
