io.github.baixianger/camoufox-mcp is a MCP server that exposes anti-detection Camoufox (stealth Firefox) browser automation to AI agents for web scraping and scripted browsing.
About
io.github.baixianger/camoufox-mcp is a Model Context Protocol server that wraps Camoufox—a stealth-oriented Firefox stack—for anti-detection browser automation and web scraping. developers shipping agents, research scrapers, or internal data tools install it when Playwright or stock headless Chrome trips CAPTCHAs, canvas checks, or behavioral blocks. The catalog entry ships as an npm stdio package (camoufox-mcp, version 1.0.0), which is the usual pattern for dropping a tool straight into Claude Code or Cursor MCP settings without extra HTTP plumbing. You register the server once, then delegate page opens, scripted interactions, and structured extraction to the agent instead of maintaining one-off puppeteer scripts. It is a specialized integration for work: not a full test framework, not a hosted browser cloud, but a local stealth browser channel when fidelity and reach matter more than the simplest automation path.
- Camoufox-based anti-detection Firefox automation exposed as an MCP stdio server (npm package camoufox-mcp v1.0.0)
- Purpose-built for web scraping and automation where fingerprinting and bot checks block vanilla browsers
- stdio transport fits Claude Code, Cursor, and other MCP hosts without running a separate HTTP gateway
- Pairs with agent workflows that need navigate, extract, and repeat across hostile or rate-limited sites
- GitHub source at baixianger/camoufox-mcp for local install and config alongside your agent

What it does
Give your coding agent a stealth Firefox browser for scraping and automation when normal headless browsers get blocked.
Who is it for?
Best when you're running Claude Code or Cursor agents that must scrape or automate pages protected by bot detection, without outsourcing to a managed browser farm.
Skip if: Skip if you only need official REST APIs, static documentation, or lightweight HTTP fetches with no JavaScript or anti-bot layer.
What you get
After you add the stdio MCP server, your agent can drive a stealth Firefox session locally and complete scrape-and-automate tasks that standard browser stacks reject.
- Registered stdio MCP server your agent can invoke for stealth browser sessions
- Agent-driven page navigation and extraction against anti-detection targets
- Repeatable scraping or automation flows without maintaining separate one-off browser scripts

Sessions
Sessions enable running multiple authenticated profiles in parallel. Each session is an isolated browser context with its own cookies and localStorage.
Browser (single Camoufox instance)
├── Session "github" (cookies from github.json)
│ ├── Page: github.com
│ └── Page: github.com/repo
├── Session "linkedin" (cookies from linkedin.json)
│ └── Page: linkedin.com/feed
└── Session "default" (no pre-loaded state)
└── Page: example.com
Usage Examples
Create a session with pre-loaded authentication:
create_sessionwithcontextPath: "github-cookies.json"— returns asessionIdnew_pagewithurl: "https://github.com"and thesessionId— opens GitHub already logged in
Run two accounts simultaneously:
create_sessionwithcontextPath: "account1.json"— session Acreate_sessionwithcontextPath: "account2.json"— session Bnew_pagein session A — logged in as account 1new_pagein session B — logged in as account 2
Save session state for later:
- Log in manually in a session
save_sessionwithoutputPath: "my-session.json"— exports cookies + localStorage- Next time,
create_sessionwithcontextPath: "my-session.json"— restored
Context File Format
Context files use Playwright's storageState format:
{
"cookies": [
{
"name": "session_id",
"value": "abc123",
"domain": ".example.com",
"path": "/",
"expires": 1735689600,
"httpOnly": true,
"secure": true,
"sameSite": "Lax"
}
],
"origins": [
{
"origin": "https://example.com",
"localStorage": [
{ "name": "token", "value": "xyz789" }
]
}
]
}
Registering Context Files in Settings
Add context file paths to settings.json to make them discoverable via list_context_files. Sessions are created lazily on demand — no memory is used until the agent calls create_session:
{
"contextPaths": [
"/path/to/github-cookies.json",
"/path/to/linkedin-cookies.json"
]
}
The agent can then call list_context_files to see what's available, and create_session with the desired contextPath to load it when needed.
Settings
Create ~/.config/camoufox-mcp/settings.json:
{
"browser": {
"headless": false,
"viewport": [1280, 1080],
"timeout": 30000,
"humanize": 0.5
},
"proxy": {
"enabled": true,
"server": "http://proxy.example.com:8080",
"username": "user",
"password": "pass",
"geoip": true
},
"contextPaths": []
}
Proxy Examples
HTTP/HTTPS Proxy:
{ "proxy": { "enabled": true, "server": "http://1.2.3.4:8080" } }
SOCKS5 Proxy:
{ "proxy": { "enabled": true, "server": "socks5://1.2.3.4:1080" } }
With Authentication (using env vars):
{
"proxy": {
"enabled": true,
"server": "${PROXY_SERVER}",
"username": "${PROXY_USER}",
"password": "${PROXY_PASS}",
"geoip": true
}
}
geoip: trueauto-adjusts browser timezone/locale based on proxy IP location.
