mcp.tc/i/seleniumbaseAbout
SeleniumBase MCP exposes the SeleniumBase Python framework to an AI assistant for browser automation, end-to-end testing and web scraping. It uses CDP Mode, which is designed to avoid bot-detection and can handle CAPTCHAs such as Cloudflare Turnstile.
It runs locally over stdio from the seleniumbase PyPI package, started with uvx. No API key is listed. It drives a local Chromium-based browser such as Chrome, Chrome-for-Testing, Edge or Brave.
What you can do
- Drive a Chromium browser: navigate, click, type and select elements
- Scrape page content and element text from live sites
- Run end-to-end tests of web applications
- Use CDP Mode to reduce bot-detection on automated sessions
- Solve CAPTCHAs that are not bypassed automatically
- Save pages as PDF
Tools
Local servers list their tools once they’re running, so we can’t show them here. Look for the list in its documentation; your client shows them after you add it.
Example prompts
Open example.com and list the headlines on the page
Log in to the demo shop and check that checkout completes
Scrape the titles from this Hacker News user's submissions

Set up
Every client starts SeleniumBase on your machine with the same command. Pick yours; the page remembers your choice.
Claude Code
- Run this in a terminal, in your project folder:
claude mcp add --transport stdio seleniumbase -- uvx seleniumbase- Start Claude Code and type
/mcp. seleniumbase should show as connected.
Add --scope user to make it available in every project.
Claude Desktop
- Open Settings → Developer → Edit Config. It opens
claude_desktop_config.json. Add:
{
"mcpServers": {
"seleniumbase": {
"command": "uvx",
"args": [
"seleniumbase"
]
}
}
}- Save the file and restart Claude Desktop.
Needs uv (Python) on your computer. The file lives in ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/ on macOS and %APPDATA%\Claude\ on Windows.
Cursor
Add to Cursor (opens in a new tab)
Or add it by hand to ~/.cursor/mcp.json (all projects) or .cursor/mcp.json (this project):
{
"mcpServers": {
"seleniumbase": {
"command": "uvx",
"args": [
"seleniumbase"
]
}
}
}Needs uv (Python) on your computer.
VS Code
Install in VS Code (opens in a new tab)
Or from a terminal:
code --add-mcp '{"name":"seleniumbase","type":"stdio","command":"uvx","args":["seleniumbase"]}'Or commit it to the repo in .vscode/mcp.json:
{
"servers": {
"seleniumbase": {
"type": "stdio",
"command": "uvx",
"args": [
"seleniumbase"
]
}
}
}Needs uv (Python) on your computer.
Devin Desktop
- Add it to
~/.config/devin/mcp_config.json(macOS and Linux) or%APPDATA%\devin\mcp_config.json(Windows):
{
"mcpServers": {
"seleniumbase": {
"command": "uvx",
"args": [
"seleniumbase"
]
}
}
}- Refresh the MCP server list in Cascade.
Devin Desktop is the new name for Windsurf.
Codex
codex mcp add seleniumbase -- uvx seleniumbaseOr edit ~/.codex/config.toml directly:
[mcp_servers.seleniumbase]
command = "uvx"
args = ["seleniumbase"]Needs uv (Python) on your computer.
Gemini CLI
gemini mcp add seleniumbase uvx seleniumbaseThis adds it to the current project. Add -s user to use it everywhere.
Any client
Most clients that start local servers accept this shape:
{
"mcpServers": {
"seleniumbase": {
"command": "uvx",
"args": [
"seleniumbase"
]
}
}
}Zed puts servers under context_servers in its settings, with the same command, args and env fields.
Needs uv (Python) on your computer.
Embed
Show SeleniumBase in a README or on your site. Each embed links to this page, uses the server’s own install command, and sets no cookies. How embeds work
The card, the iframe and the JSON are in English. Add ?lang=it, fr, de or es to their address for another language.
README badge
[](https://mcp.tc/i/seleniumbase)<a href="https://mcp.tc/i/seleniumbase"><img src="https://mcp.tc/i/seleniumbase/badge.svg" alt="SeleniumBase on mcp.tc" height="20"></a>It follows the reader’s light or dark mode. Add ?theme=light or ?theme=dark to fix it, or ?style=compact to show the mark without the word.
Website card
<script src="https://mcp.tc/w/seleniumbase.js" async></script>The card appears where the tag is. Add data-theme="dark" or data-size="compact" to the tag to change it. The file holds everything it needs, so it makes no other requests and sets no cookies.
iframe
<iframe src="https://mcp.tc/embed/seleniumbase" title="SeleniumBase on mcp.tc" width="420" height="200" loading="lazy" allow="clipboard-write" style="border:0;border-radius:8px;max-width:100%"></iframe>Use it on pages that don’t allow scripts. Add ?theme=light or ?theme=dark to the address to fix the colors.
JSON
The listing as data for your own pages and tools: name, tagline, install command, tools and the “Add to” links. Any site can read it (CORS is open).
https://mcp.tc/i/seleniumbase.jsonAI prompt
Paste this into an AI coding assistant, such as Claude Code or Cursor, and it adds the SeleniumBase card to your site.
Add the mcp.tc card for SeleniumBase, an MCP server, to my website. It is one static script: no build step, no package to install, no cookies.
Put this tag where the card should appear. The card renders right before it:
```html
<script src="https://mcp.tc/w/seleniumbase.js" async></script>
```
To show the card somewhere else, put this placeholder there and load the same script once, for example before `</body>`. Keep the link inside: visitors without JavaScript see it.
```html
<div data-mcptc="seleniumbase"><a href="https://mcp.tc/i/seleniumbase">SeleniumBase on mcp.tc</a></div>
```
Options:
- `data-theme="light"` or `"dark"` on the tag or the placeholder fixes the colors. Without it, the card follows the visitor’s light or dark mode.
- `data-size="compact"` gives a smaller card without the tagline.
- The CSS variable `--mcptc-max-width` on the placeholder or a parent sets the width (default `520px`).
- `?lang=` on the script URL sets the card’s language: `en`, `it`, `fr`, `de` or `es`.
If the site has a Content Security Policy, allow `script-src https://mcp.tc` and `img-src data:` (the icon is inline).
For a README or other Markdown docs, use the badge instead:
```markdown

```

This server runs on your computer, so we follow its PyPI package: each new version shows up here, with edits by its owner.
FAQ
Can I paste mcp.tc/i/seleniumbase into my MCP client?
No. SeleniumBase runs on your own computer, started by your client, so it has no web address to connect to. The quick link is the page to share; the install command is uvx seleniumbase.
Does SeleniumBase need an API key?
No. It doesn’t declare any keys or environment variables. It runs with your user account’s permissions, so check what its tools can reach.
Is SeleniumBase a remote or a local server?
Local. Your client starts it as a process on your computer with uvx seleniumbase, which needs uv (Python).
What can SeleniumBase do?
You can drive a Chromium browser: navigate, click, type and select elements, scrape page content and element text from live sites and run end-to-end tests of web applications.
Which clients can use it?
Any client that starts local servers: Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Cursor, VS Code, Devin Desktop, Codex, Gemini CLI, Zed and others. claude.ai and ChatGPT only connect to remote servers.
Does mcp.tc track changes to SeleniumBase?
Partly. It runs on your computer, so we follow its PyPI package: its History tab shows each new version and edits by its owner. Follow the listing to get an email when it changes.
Who wrote this page?
mcp.tc’s robot read SeleniumBase’s public metadata (its package and repository pages), and an AI model drafted the text from it. A person reviews anything the checks can’t confirm. The text can still be wrong, so if you spot a mistake, use Report this listing on this page.
