What is the difference between cloud mode and local mode?
In cloud mode, browser sessions are managed via the Steel cloud service (requires `STEEL_API_KEY`). In local mode, you run your own Steel Docker container and no API key is needed.

A Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that enables LLMs like Claude to navigate the web through Puppeteer-based tools and Steel. Based on the Web Voyager framework, it provides tools for all standard web actions—clicking, scrolling, typing, and taking screenshots.
Install via Smithery (npx -y @smithery/cli install @steel-dev/steel-mcp-server --client claude) or clone, npm install, npm run build, then configure Claude Desktop with environment variables. Choose cloud mode (requires a Steel API key) or local/self-hosted mode (requires a running Steel Docker instance). The server starts automatically with Claude Desktop.
In cloud mode, browser sessions are managed via the Steel cloud service (requires `STEEL_API_KEY`). In local mode, you run your own Steel Docker container and no API key is needed.
You need Git, Node.js, and Claude Desktop installed. For local mode, you also need the Steel Docker image running locally.
You can obtain one from the Steel dashboard at [https://app.steel.dev/settings/api-keys](https://app.steel.dev/settings/api-keys).
It provides `navigate`, `search`, `click`, `type`, `scroll_down`, `scroll_up`, `go_back`, `wait`, and `save_unmarked_screenshot` tools, all driven by numbered labels on interactive elements.
Yes. In cloud mode, sessions appear in the Steel dashboard. In local mode, visit the self-hosted dashboard at `http://localhost:5173`.
A search tool helps dev to solve the naming things problem.
