Zahori MCP Server

Find the media stream behind any web page. A real browser opens the page, dismisses the overlays, presses play, and watches the network until the media request appears. You get the stream URL (HLS, DASH, MP4 or audio) plus the headers needed to replay it. 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 TypeScript.
