Kitewright MCP Server

Browser automation for AI agents as a single small binary. An MCP server (Streamable HTTP + stdio) that gives LLM clients navigate / screenshot / extract - without carrying the Node.js + Playwright stack.

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