Camofox Browser MCP Server: Setup for Claude Code, Cursor and Other Apps

• Opens a web page in a new stealth browser tab

  Opens a new tab in the Camoufox anti-detection browser at the address you give and returns a tab ID for later steps. The tool description tells the assistant to prefer it over a normal browser for sites with bot detection.

  Try: “Open linkedin.com/jobs in a new browser tab.”

• Reads the current page as text with numbered elements and a screenshot

  Returns an accessibility snapshot of the page where each clickable element gets a reference like e1, plus a screenshot. Long pages are cut off and can be fetched in further pages.

  Try: “Read what is on the page in tab 1.”

• Sends a tab to a web address or runs a search shortcut

  Moves an open tab to a new address, or runs a search macro such as a Google or YouTube search with your query.

  Try: “In this tab, search Google for "best trail running shoes".”

• Clicks an element on the page

• Types text into a field, optionally pressing Enter

  Types text into a page element chosen by reference or CSS selector. It can press Enter afterwards to submit.

  Try: “Type "data analyst" in the search box and press Enter.”

• Scrolls the page by a number of pixels

  Scrolls the page. The README says this does nothing on lazy-loading pages, where the evaluate tool works better.

  Try: “Scroll down 800 pixels.”

• Takes a screenshot of the page

  Returns a standalone screenshot of the current page in a tab.

  Try: “Take a screenshot of this page.”

• Runs JavaScript inside the page and returns the result

  Runs a JavaScript expression in the page of a tab. Use it to read page data, call the site's own interfaces or scroll on pages where scrolling fails.

  Try: “Run a script on this page that returns every link address.”

• Lists the browser tabs open in this session

  Shows every tab currently open for this session so the assistant can pick one.

  Try: “Which tabs are open right now?”

• Closes a browser tab

  Closes one tab in the Camoufox browser.

  Try: “Close tab 2.”

  Write · camofox_close_tab

• Loads a cookie file so the browser starts out signed in to a site

  Imports cookies from a Netscape-format cookie file into the session so the browser can reach sites such as LinkedIn without an interactive login. The file must sit in the REST server's cookies folder, and the server needs an API key for this.

  Try: “Import my saved LinkedIn cookies so you are already signed in.”

Watch out for

• The browser can click, type and submit forms

  It acts on live pages, so it can post, buy or send things if you are signed in. Watch what it does on accounts you care about. github.com

• It can run JavaScript on any page you open

  The script tool runs inside the page, not on your computer, but it can read what the page shows and call the site's own interfaces as you. github.com

• Cookie import signs the browser in as you

  Imported cookies let the assistant act as you on those sites. Use a throwaway or low-privilege account where you can. github.com

• Scrolling can silently do nothing

  The README says scroll returns success on lazy-loading pages without moving the page. Ask the assistant to use the script tool there. github.com
