Nodriver - Undetected Browser Automation MCP Server

An undetected, anti-bot-resistant browser automation MCP server - a drop-in, stealth alternative to chrome-devtools-mcp for AI agents like Claude, Claude Code, Cursor, Windsurf, and any Model Context Protocol client. Powered by nodriver so your agent can browse, scrape, and automate real Chrome without tripping Cloudflare, hCaptcha, or WebDriver fingerprint detection.

People connecting browser automation tools to Claude, Cursor, VS Code, or another MCP client. The project is written in Python.
