What is Wick?
Wick is an MCP server that uses Chrome’s actual network stack to give AI agents browser-grade web access. It runs locally from your own IP, returns clean markdown, and bypasses anti-bot protections (Cloudflare, Akamai, PerimeterX, AWS WAF) with a 100% success rate on tested sites.
How to use Wick?
Install via Homebrew (macOS), apt (Linux), or npm (any platform), then run wick setup to auto-configure MCP clients like Claude Code, Cursor, etc. Use tools such as wick_fetch, wick_crawl, wick_map, wick_search, and wick_download directly from your agent. Wick also provides a local HTTP API server accessible via wick serve --api.
