Selenium MCP server
The Selenium project's own MCP server, developed in the SeleniumHQ GitHub organisation.
What it does
The Selenium project's own MCP server, developed in the SeleniumHQ GitHub organisation. It runs locally over stdio and lets a coding agent control a browser through the Selenium JavaScript bindings: the agent reads the page as an accessibility snapshot whose elements carry stable refs, then clicks, types, fills forms, uploads files, handles dialogs and switches tabs by ref, without writing selectors. Console messages and network requests come in over WebDriver BiDi, and a flag can send the browser to a Selenium Grid. Tool names follow the Playwright MCP server. The first version is still being built, with headless Chrome and one browser per server.
