🧪 Testing
The project includes comprehensive tests to validate functionality:
# Run basic function tests
python test_functions.py
# Run Reddit anti-detection tests
python test_reddit.py
Test Results
- ✅ Navigation: Successfully loads protected pages
- ✅ JavaScript Execution: Full DOM access and data extraction
- ✅ Screenshots: High-quality image capture
- ✅ Anti-Detection: Bypasses modern bot protection (tested on Reddit)
🏗️ Architecture
The server follows a layered architecture:
- MCP Protocol Layer - Handles MCP communication
- Browser Management Layer - Manages Chrome sessions
- Anti-Detection Layer - Implements stealth capabilities
- Operation Execution Layer - Executes browser operations
🛡️ Anti-Detection Features
- Undetected ChromeDriver: Advanced stealth automation
- User Agent Rotation: Randomized browser fingerprints
- Viewport Randomization: Human-like window sizing
- Human-like Delays: Natural interaction timing
- JavaScript Stealth: Removes automation indicators
- Session Isolation: Clean state between operations
