Zendriver MCP
Undetectable browser automation for LLM agents, spoken over MCP. zendriver-mcp is an MCP server that gives your coding agent (Claude, Cursor, Gemini, Copilot) a real Chrome browser it can actually use on the real web - behind Cloudflare, behind login walls, on pages that detect and block WebDriver. It runs locally over stdio via the published package.
People connecting browser automation tools to Claude, Cursor, VS Code, or another MCP client. The project is written in Python.

02 · Evidence
Security posture
What to check before giving this server access to your agent - from the registry, GitHub, and our own probes. We don't score safety; we show what's verifiable.
runs as local process (stdio) - runs on your machine with your user's permissions
repository a fork of another project - check the upstream repo before trusting releases
license MIT - declared in the repository
pypi package zendriver-mcp - check the name against the project README before installing (PyPI has no namespace ownership)
registry namespace io.github.bituq is GitHub-verified and matches the repo owner
