CamoFox MCP

AI-powered anti-detection browser automation for MCP-compatible AI agents.

CamoFox MCP connects MCP clients such as Claude Desktop, VS Code, Cursor, and OpenClaw to the CamoFox browser server. It gives agents a practical browser toolset for navigation, interaction, search, extraction, downloads, and session reuse while relying on Camoufox-based anti-detection behavior underneath.

Key Features

• 47 browser automation tools across navigation, interaction, observation, search, downloads, sessions, and batch workflows.
• Anti-detection browser automation built on top of the CamoFox browser server and Camoufox.
• Multi-tab workflows with tracked state, history, and cleanup.
• Session persistence with cookie import, saved profiles, and optional auto-save.
• Token-efficient accessibility snapshots with CSS-selector fallbacks for difficult SPA flows.
• OpenClaw-compatible HTTP transport, plus standard stdio support for desktop MCP clients.

Quick Install

You need both components running:

1. camofox-browser handles the anti-detection browser.
2. camofox-mcp exposes that browser to your MCP client.

Option A: npx + stdio

Start the browser server:

npx camofox-browser@latest

Add CamoFox MCP to your MCP client:

{
  "servers": {
    "camofox": {
      "type": "stdio",
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "camofox-mcp@latest"],
      "env": {
        "CAMOFOX_URL": "http://localhost:9377"
      }
    }
  }
}

Option B: Docker

Start the browser server:

docker run -d -p 9377:9377 --name camofox-browser ghcr.io/redf0x1/camofox-browser:latest

Run CamoFox MCP in HTTP mode for remote MCP clients such as OpenClaw:

docker run -p 3000:8080 --rm \
  -e CAMOFOX_TRANSPORT=http \
  -e CAMOFOX_HTTP_HOST=0.0.0.0 \
  -e CAMOFOX_HTTP_API_KEY=replace-with-32-plus-random-chars \
  -e CAMOFOX_URL=http://host.docker.internal:9377 \
  ghcr.io/redf0x1/camofox-mcp:latest node dist/http.js

Configure your HTTP MCP client to connect to http://localhost:3000/mcp with Authorization: Bearer replace-with-32-plus-random-chars.

Full client configuration examples live in [docs/getting-started.md](docs/getting-started.md).

Quick Verify

Use camofox-browser 2.4.6 or newer. Browser 2.4.6 pins the Camoufox-compatible Playwright protocol dependency so fresh installs do not crash on first tab launch. Browser 2.4.5 adds explicit browser auth modes including CAMOFOX_AUTH_MODE=disabled for trusted private agent networks, and browser 2.4.4 fixes the persistent-context cold-start about:blank page reuse path.

Verify the browser server is reachable:

curl -fsS http://localhost:9377/health

Expected response includes "ok":true and "running":true. On a cold server with no active tabs yet, browserConnected can be false; create a tab to start a browser session.

Top Limitations

• CamoFox MCP is not a standalone browser. You must run a compatible camofox-browser server separately.
• MCP can share the camofox CLI default browser profile/context when create_tab uses userId: "cli-default" and sessionKey: "default", but it cannot reliably attach to a tab the CLI already opened. Importing/adopting existing CLI tabs is a future feature.
• Headed browser window size follows browser viewport/display-size behavior. Pass viewport, for example { "width": 1366, "height": 768 }, or set CAMOFOX_VIEWPORT=1366x768 / --viewport 1366x768 for a default new-tab size. Supported defaults use width 320..3840 and height 240..2160.
• Accessibility-tree refs are the primary interaction model, but SPA and custom-component sites can require CSS selectors or rendered HTML tools.
• If the browser server enforces authentication, API-key-gated operations need the same CAMOFOX_API_KEY on both sides.
• For trusted private-network browser deployments using CAMOFOX_AUTH_MODE=disabled, leave CAMOFOX_API_KEY unset in CamoFox MCP. MCP then sends no outbound browser auth headers. Keep both browser and MCP access on a trusted private network.
• If HTTP transport is exposed beyond loopback, set CAMOFOX_HTTP_API_KEY and require clients to send it as a Bearer token.
• HTTP transport is mainly for remote MCP clients. Desktop MCP clients usually work best with stdio configuration.

Security

Treat this as a browser control surface. In shared or networked environments, isolate the browser server, avoid exposing MCP endpoints broadly, and use CAMOFOX_HTTP_API_KEY for inbound HTTP MCP clients plus CAMOFOX_API_KEY when the browser server requires authentication. If the browser server runs CAMOFOX_AUTH_MODE=disabled, leave CAMOFOX_API_KEY unset and keep that browser endpoint on a trusted private network. Session profiles can contain sensitive cookies and should be stored accordingly.
