About Stealth Browser MCP Server
An MCP server that provides browser access through Playwright with stealth mode enabled to reduce detection by bot-protection systems. It lets MCP clients open web pages and take screenshots.
Key features
- 01Stealth mode built on playwright-extra
- 02Modifies WebGL, canvas, font and plugin fingerprints
- 03Full-page or element-specific screenshots
- 04Headless and visible browser modes
Use cases
- 01Capturing webpage screenshots from an MCP client
- 02Loading pages on sites that run bot detection
MCP support
This is an MCP server that exposes stealth browser navigation and screenshots to MCP clients through a screenshot tool.
Configuration
Local server config is the same for every client. Copy it into your client’s MCP config file.
We haven’t collected a package or remote endpoint for this server. Follow the instructions in the project README.
Tools
Local servers expose tools only once running on your machine, and the maintainer has not provided a tool list.

Stealth Browser MCP Server
An MCP (Model Context Protocol) server that provides stealth browser capabilities using Playwright with anti-detection techniques. This server allows MCP clients to navigate to websites and take screenshots while evading common bot detection systems.
Features
- Stealth Mode: Uses puppeteer-extra-plugin-stealth with playwright-extra to bypass bot detections
- Modifies browser fingerprints to appear as regular user traffic
- Handles WebGL, canvas, font, plugin and other browser fingerprinting techniques
- Screenshot Tool: Take full-page or element-specific screenshots of any website
- Supports both headless (default) and visible browser modes
- MCP Integration: Exposes browser capabilities via Model Context Protocol

New to MCP?
From what the protocol is to installing your first server, these answers cover most first questions.
An open protocol that defines how AI applications connect to external tools and data in a uniform way. Clients talk to the model; MCP servers provide tools, resources and prompt templates. They exchange standard messages, so one server can be reused by many clients.
