What is Puppeteer?
Puppeteer is a Model Context Protocol server that provides browser automation capabilities using Puppeteer. It enables LLMs to interact with web pages, take screenshots, extract and download images, and execute JavaScript in a real browser environment.
How to use Puppeteer?
Configure the server in your MCP client using either Docker (docker run -i --rm --init -e DOCKER_CONTAINER=true mcp/puppeteer) or NPX (npx -y @modelcontextprotocol/server-puppeteer). Customize Puppeteer’s browser behavior via the PUPPETEER_LAUNCH_OPTIONS environment variable or by passing launchOptions and allowDangerous to the puppeteer_navigate tool.
