Wraps the BabelWrap API to give Claude natural language control over browser automation. Instead of writing CSS selectors, you describe what you want to click or extract and it handles the DOM parsing. Exposes session management, navigation, form filling, data extraction, screenshots, and multi-tab support through 16+ tools. Useful when you need Claude to scrape dynamic sites, automate web workflows, or interact with pages that would normally require brittle selector-based scripts. Requires a BabelWrap API key. Installs via uvx, pip, or pipx and plugs into Claude Desktop, Cursor, or any MCP client.
An MCP server that gives AI agents web browsing superpowers via the BabelWrap API.
Works with Claude Desktop, Cursor, Claude Code, and any MCP-compatible client.
