Uplink tools (15, 2 write)

write = sends, deletes, buys or posts

Read from the package source without running it. The installed server may list more.

uplink_await_network_request
Wait for the next network request whose URL contains `url_pattern` (substring match). Returns method, URL, status, headers, and a body preview.
uplink_connect
uplink_evaluate_javascriptwrite action
Run a JS expression in the device's page context and return the result. Can take either a single expression (`document.title`) or a statement block (`const r = await fetch(...); return r.json()`).
uplink_get_command_result
Fetch a single captured page command by id (the id from uplink_list_commands).
uplink_get_current_url
Returns the current URL of the device's active page.
uplink_get_dom_snapshot
Snapshot the DOM of the active device. Returns the body tree (formatted for LLM consumption) plus head metadata (title, base, meta tags, link rels).
uplink_get_network_request
Fetch a single captured network request by id (the id from uplink_search_network).
uplink_get_qr
Render the active session's pairing URL as an ASCII QR code. Opt-in: only call when the user explicitly asks to see a QR (e.g., 'show me a QR' / 'I want to scan'). CRITICAL: Claude Code collapses tool output behind ctrl+o. After calling this tool, you MUST paste the returned QR ASCII art VERBATIM into your own response prose \u2014 every line of unicode half-blocks, exactly as returned. Do not say
uplink_list_commands
List captured page commands (method, args, result/error, timing) emitted while uplink_run_script executed. Optional `method` filter and `limit`.
uplink_read_logs
Return captured console logs from `uplink_run_script` invocations on the active session. Optional `level` filter and `limit`.
uplink_refresh_pairing_code
Mint a fresh 6-digit pairing code for the active session. Use this if the previous code expired (30s TTL) before the user typed it \u2014 the session itself stays valid, only the OTP rotates. Surface the new code in YOUR OWN prose, same format as uplink_connect (XXX-XXX), e.g.: `New pairing code: 123-456 (expires in 30s)` Claude Code collapses tool output; the code must be visible in your prose.
uplink_run_scriptwrite action
Execute a script against the device. The script body has `page` and `console` bound. Returns counts of captured flows + logs plus any error.
uplink_search_network
Search captured network requests by URL substring. Returns matches with method, URL, status, headers, and body previews. Use uplink_get_network_request to fetch a single entry by id.
uplink_session_status
Return whether a session is active and whether a device is paired to it.
uplink_wait_for_device

How Uplink compares

Against every graded Scraping and browsing MCP server, from our own scans and uptime checks. Updated after each scan run.

Safety score: 82/100; higher than 58% of 866 Scraping and browsing servers
Tools: 15; the typical Scraping and browsing server has 6
Tools that change things: 13%; typical: 0%. Fewer write tools means less an agent can break
Downloads a week: 297; more than 77% of 309 Scraping and browsing servers with a package

Install Uplink in Claude Code, Cursor or VS Code

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

claude mcp add uplink -- npx -y @uplink-code/mcp

Add to Cursor

Uplink MCP Server

Automate a real, logged-in browser on your own device — no stored credentials, no bot detection.

Uplink drives a real device you pair (your phone or laptop), inside its real, logged-in browser session. Unlike headless automation, there are no stored credentials and nothing for a site's bot detection to flag — it's a real user's real session.

npm: @uplink-code/mcp
Registry name: build.uplink/uplink
Docs: https://docs.uplink.build

Install

Add to any MCP client (Claude Code, Cursor, Claude Desktop, …):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "uplink": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@uplink-code/mcp"]
    }
  }
}

Claude Code one-liner:

claude mcp add uplink -- npx -y @uplink-code/mcp

Authenticate

The server reads credentials written by the Uplink CLI. Sign in once:

npx @uplink-code/cli login

Use

Ask your AI client to connect — it returns a pairing link.
Open the link on your device in the Uplink Connect app to pair.
The model drives the page in your live session and observes the real network traffic, DOM, and console.
