Web Browser MCP Server

Web Browser MCP Server is an MCP server that provides web browsing and targeted web scraping capabilities to AI models and assistants. Developed using Python, it connects Model Context Protocol clients directly to web endpoints to retrieve online data, process web pages, and extract structured document structures. AI developers, researchers, and automated workflow creators use it to give language models live access to the public internet without managing manual HTTP requests. The server enables clients to execute targeted web page fetches, extract specific content elements using CSS selectors, retrieve page metadata, and collect navigation links. Built on an asynchronous architecture, it incorporates timeout configurations and error handling to handle live network requests stably across cross-platform environments.
