Understand the project

Practical overview

When it fits

Use it when an MCP-connected agent needs a browser for navigation, interaction or extraction, particularly on sites where anti-bot checks or captchas may affect ordinary automation.

Who it is for

  • Developers building MCP-connected AI agents.
  • Teams creating browser automation or scraping workflows.
  • Builders of research, lead-generation or job-search assistants that need browser interaction.

Documented uses

  • Browse websites through an MCP-compatible assistant.
  • Automate multi-step browser interactions with Playwright.
  • Extract information from webpages for research, lead generation or job search.
  • Support computer-use workflows in an AI agent.
Before you choose

Requirements & limits

The project is available as a public GitHub repository and is MIT-licensed. Repository documentation includes Windows PowerShell and Linux shell usage. No pricing or primary-service account requirement is documented here.

  • Your assistant or agent framework must support MCP.
  • The workflow should be compatible with Playwright and Firefox-based browser automation.
  • Stealth or anti-bot-oriented browser behavior is a central project distinction.
  • The repository is Python-based, which matters for implementation and maintenance choices.

Check current requirements in the official documentation. Source-based guidance does not mean OpenViST has run or independently tested this project.

Source-based practical guide

Install Invisible Playwright MCP in a supported assistant

Install the MCP browser agent for use through Claude Code, Codex, or Gemini CLI.

Before you start

  • Windows PowerShell or Linux shell
  • An MCP-compatible assistant

Steps

  1. Install uv: run the documented PowerShell installer and add its local bin directory to PATH on Windows, or run the documented curl installer and source $HOME/.local/bin/env on Linux.

  2. For Claude Code, add the feder-cr/invisible_playwright_mcp marketplace and install invisible-playwright-mcp@feder-cr.

  3. For Codex, add the feder-cr/invisible_playwright_mcp marketplace and add invisible-playwright-mcp@feder-cr.

  4. For Gemini CLI, install the extension from https://github.com/feder-cr/invisible_playwright_mcp.

  5. Use the installed assistant to access the browser agent over MCP.

Expected outcome

The browser agent is installed in the documented assistant integration path and is ready for MCP-based use.

Guide limitations

  • The documentation does not provide a verification command or a complete assistant-side configuration for every client.
  • The browser engine is downloaded from a GitHub release when the server first starts.
  • Use must follow the terms and rate limits of sites visited, and submissions should be reviewed by a human.

Source-based practical guide

Start the standalone Invisible Playwright MCP web UI

Launch the local web interface and open its live browser view.

Before you start

  • Windows PowerShell or Linux shell
  • An OpenRouter API key

Steps

  1. Install uv using the documented Windows PowerShell or Linux commands.

  2. On Windows, run uvx invisible-playwright-mcp ui --openrouter-key sk-or-...; on Linux, run the corresponding documented command.

  3. Open http://127.0.0.1:8765.

  4. Enter a browser task in the chat interface.

Expected outcome

The local interface provides chat on the left and a live browser on the right for web-automation requests.

Guide limitations

  • The documented command places the key in shell history and, on Linux, in the process list; the documentation also supports OPENROUTER_API_KEY or a local .env file.
  • Changing the host exposes an interface with no authentication.
  • The interface sends the conversation and page content read by the agent to OpenRouter under the supplied key.
  • The documentation does not establish that a particular browsing task will succeed against any site.
