Install Safari in Claude Code, Cursor or VS Code

Runs npx -y safari-mcp on your machine. Read the scan report first; the gateway never runs local packages.

🦁 Safari MCP

The browser for your coding agent.

Your real Safari, logged in — no Chrome, no heat, no headless.

Install in VS Code · VS Code Insiders · Install in Cursor

98 tools · No Chrome/Puppeteer/Playwright needed · ~5ms per command · 60% less CPU than Chrome

❌ Without Safari MCP

Your AI agent needs to browse. So it either:

  • Spins up Chromium via Playwright — with no logins, no cookies, no sessions
  • Uses Chrome DevTools MCP — and melts your fan running a second browser
  • Relies on headless scrapers — blocked by Cloudflare, reCAPTCHA, and bot detection

✅ With Safari MCP

Your AI drives the Safari you're already logged into — Gmail, GitHub, Ahrefs, Slack, banking.

Native WebKit. ~60% less CPU. Background operation. 98 tools. One npx command. macOS only.

🍎 Apple ships an official Safari MCP — safaridriver --mcp, first in Safari Technology Preview 247 (July 2026) and in stable Safari since 27.0. It drives an isolated automation session for debugging. safari-mcp drives the real Safari you're already logged into — your cookies and sessions, in the background, with 98 tools. See the full comparison below.

Highlights

  • 98 tools — navigation, clicks, forms, screenshots, network, storage, accessibility, and more
  • Zero heat — native WebKit on Apple Silicon, ~60% less CPU than Chrome
  • Your real browser — keeps all logins, cookies, sessions (Gmail, GitHub, Ahrefs, etc.)
  • Background operation — Safari stays in the background, no window stealing
  • No browser dependencies — no Puppeteer, no Playwright, no WebDriver, no Chrome
  • Persistent process — reuses a single osascript process (~5ms per command vs ~80ms)
  • Framework-compatible — React, Vue, Angular, Svelte form filling via native setters

In users' own words

Not solicited testimonials — quotes lifted from the public issue tracker, each linked to the thread it came from.

"I run multiple Pi sessions/subagents against my normal Safari profile in parallel. Sharing its cookies and logins is intentional."
