What the publisher says

From the CloakMCP repository's README, as published. We do not edit it. Read it on GitHub

CloakBrowser MCP

Stealth browser automation for AI agents — a Model Context Protocol server combining CloakBrowser's anti-detection with Playwright MCP-inspired architecture.

CloakBrowser is a source-level patched Chromium that passes Cloudflare Turnstile, reCAPTCHA v3 (0.9 score), FingerprintJS, BrowserScan, and 30+ bot detection services.

Why CloakBrowser MCP?

Quick Start

Install

pip install cloakbrowsermcp

Use with Claude Desktop

Add to your claudedesktopconfig.json:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "cloakbrowser": {
      "command": "cloakbrowsermcp"
    }
  }
}

Use with VS Code / Cursor

Add to .vscode/mcp.json:

{
  "servers": {
    "cloakbrowser": {
      "command": "cloakbrowsermcp",
      "args": ["--caps", "all"]
    }
  }
}

Use with Hermes Agent

Add to ~/.hermes/config.yaml:

mcp_servers:
  cloakbrowser:
    command: cloakbrowsermcp
    args: ["--caps", "all"]
    timeout: 120

How It Works

Snapshot-First Architecture

CloakBrowser MCP uses accessibility tree snapshots as the primary way for AI models to understand web pages — not screenshots, not raw HTML.

1. cloak_launch()           → Start stealth browser
2. cloak_navigate(pid, url) → Go to page (auto-waits for settle)
3. cloak_snapshot(pid)      → Get interactive elements with [@eN] refs
4. cloak_click(pid, '@e5')  → Click element by ref
5. cloak_type(pid, '@e3', 'hello')  → Type into input
6. cloak_read_page(pid)     → Get content as clean markdown
7. cloak_close()            → Done

Each interactive element gets a [@eN] ref ID. All interaction tools use these refs — no CSS selectors needed.

Three Ways to See a Page

cloaksnapshot() — Accessibility tree with [@eN] refs. Fast, cheap, reliable. Use this.**
cloakreadpage() — Clean markdown extraction. For reading content, not interacting.
cloakscreenshot()** — Annotated screenshot with element indices. For visual context (images, charts, CAPTCHAs).

Stealth by Default

All anti-detection features are ON by default:

Source-patched Chromium binary (not Playwright patches — actual Chromium source modifications)
Human-like mouse curves, keyboard timing, and scroll patterns (humanize=True)
Stealth fingerprint arguments (consistent canvas, WebGL, audio fingerprints)
Proxy support with GeoIP-based timezone/locale detection

Tools

Core Tools (20 — always available)

Shortened. The full README is on GitHub.
