MCP server for stealth browser automation via Camoufox — 60+ tools, npx install, anti-bot stealth
The most feature-rich stealth browser MCP server. 69 tools for full browser control powered by Camoufox — a Firefox fork with C++ level anti-detection that bypasses Cloudflare, bot detection, and anti-automation.
One command. No Python. No manual setup. Everything auto-installs.
claude mcp add camoufox -- npx -y mcp-camoufox@latest
What Can It Do?
- Login to Google, ChatGPT, GitHub — without getting blocked
- Fill forms, click buttons, type text, upload files
- Manage cookies, localStorage, sessions across visits
- Take screenshots, export PDFs, capture network traffic
- Work with multiple tabs, iframes, dialogs
- Execute JavaScript, inspect elements, scroll pages
- Scrape structured data (job listings, products) with auto-detected selectors
- All while being undetectable by anti-bot systems

Setup
Claude Code
Global (available in all projects):
claude mcp add camoufox --scope user -- npx -y mcp-camoufox@latest
Project only (current project):
claude mcp add camoufox -- npx -y mcp-camoufox@latest
Claude Desktop
Global — add to config file:
- macOS:
~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json - Windows:
%APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json - Linux:
~/.config/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json
{
"mcpServers": {
"camoufox": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["-y", "mcp-camoufox@latest"]
}
}
}
Claude Desktop is always global — no project-level config.
Cursor
Global — Preferences > Features > MCP, or ~/.cursor/mcp.json:
Project — .cursor/mcp.json in project root:
{
"mcpServers": {
"camoufox": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["-y", "mcp-camoufox@latest"]
}
}
}
Windsurf
Global — ~/.windsurf/mcp.json:
Project — .windsurf/mcp.json in project root:
{
"servers": {
"camoufox": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["-y", "mcp-camoufox@latest"]
}
}
}
VS Code (Continue / Cline / Kilo Code)
Global — VS Code settings or ~/.continue/config.json:
Project — .vscode/mcp.json in project root:
{
"mcpServers": {
"camoufox": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["-y", "mcp-camoufox@latest"]
}
}
}
Factory (Droid)
Global — ~/.factory/mcp.json:
Project — .factory/mcp.json in project root:
{
"mcpServers": {
"camoufox": {
"type": "stdio",
"command": "npx",
"args": ["-y", "mcp-camoufox@latest"],
"disabled": false
}
}
}
Or via CLI:
droid mcp add camoufox "npx -y mcp-camoufox@latest"
OpenCode
Global — ~/.config/opencode/opencode.json:
Project — opencode.json in project root:
{
"mcp": {
"camoufox": {
"type": "local",
"command": ["npx", "-y", "mcp-camoufox@latest"],
"enabled": true
}
}
}
Note: OpenCode uses
"type": "local"(not"stdio") andcommandas a single array.
Trae (ByteDance)
Global — ~/.trae/mcp.json:
Project — .trae/mcp.json in project root:
{
"mcpServers": [
{
"name": "camoufox",
"command": ["npx", "-y", "mcp-camoufox@latest"]
}
]
}
Note: Trae uses an array format for
mcpServers, not an object.
Antigravity (Google)
Global — ~/.gemini/antigravity/mcp_config.json:
{
"mcpServers": {
"camoufox": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["-y", "mcp-camoufox@latest"]

How It Works
AI Agent (Claude, Cursor, Windsurf, VS Code)
|
| MCP Protocol (stdio JSON-RPC)
v
mcp-camoufox (Node.js)
|
| Playwright API (Juggler protocol, NOT CDP)
v
Camoufox (Patched Firefox binary)
|
| C++ anti-fingerprint patches
v
Website (Cloudflare, bot detection — bypassed)
Why stealth works
- Juggler protocol instead of CDP — sites detecting Chrome DevTools Protocol cannot detect Camoufox
- C++ level patches — fingerprint spoofing at browser engine level, not JavaScript injection
- GeoIP auto-detection — timezone, locale, geolocation match your real IP
- Human-like behavior — optional
humanizemode for realistic mouse movements
Why sessions persist
Browser profile stored at ~/.camoufox-mcp/profile/. Cookies, localStorage, IndexedDB survive across sessions. Login once, stay logged in.
Why refs work better
browser_snapshot tags elements with data-mcp-ref attributes. This is:
- More token-efficient than sending full HTML
- More reliable than CSS selectors that break when sites update
- Clickable via
click(ref="e5")— no selector gymnastics
Data Storage
| Path | Contents |
|------|----------|
| ~/.camoufox-mcp/profile/ | Browser profile (cookies, localStorage, cache) |
| ~/.camoufox-mcp/screenshots/ | Screenshots, PDFs, HAR exports |
Reset everything: rm -rf ~/.camoufox-mcp/
Troubleshooting
| Problem | Fix |
|---------|-----|
| "Browser not running" | Call browser_launch first |
| Click blocked by overlay | Auto JS-fallback handles it. Or press_key("Escape") first. |
| Stale refs after navigation | Call browser_snapshot again — refs regenerate each time |
| Window too large | browser_launch(width=1024, height=768) |
| First launch slow | Downloading Camoufox binary (~80MB). Happens once. |
| Huge snapshot output | Normal for big pages. Use get_text or evaluate instead. |
| iframe not accessible | Use list_frames + frame_evaluate |
| CAPTCHA appears | Cannot auto-solve. Use headless=false and solve manually. |
