Chrome Mcp Stealth

Chrome MCP Stealth

MCP server for stealth browser automation via Chrome DevTools Protocol. Connects to a real Chrome instance with human-like interaction patterns (Bezier mouse curves, Gaussian typing delays, scroll jitter) to avoid bot detection.

Why

Standard browser automation tools (Playwright, Puppeteer, Selenium) are trivially detected by modern anti-bot systems. Sites fingerprint mouse movements (straight lines, instant teleportation), typing patterns (uniform delays), and JavaScript properties (navigator.webdriver, missing plugins) to block automated access.

Chrome MCP Stealth solves this by layering human-like behavior on top of Playwright's CDP connection to a real Chrome instance — not a headless browser, not a fresh profile, but your actual browser with cookies, extensions, and history intact.

Features

• Stealth mode: Bezier mouse movement, Gaussian keystroke delays, scroll jitter, anti-detection JS patches
• Fast mode: Instant actions with no delays — available on non-protected domains
• Security: 4-layer defense against prompt injection, data exfiltration, and credential leaks
• Single file: Entire server is one index.js file (~630 lines)

How Stealth Works

Mouse movement follows cubic Bezier curves with randomized control points, producing natural arcs instead of straight lines. Each move uses 12–50 interpolation steps with ease-in-out timing and occasional overshoot corrections.

Typing uses Gaussian-distributed inter-key delays (~75ms mean), with extra pauses after punctuation and periodic "thinking pauses" every ~10 characters — mimicking human typing rhythm.

Scrolling is broken into jittered multi-step increments with settling delays, avoiding the instant jumps that flag automation.

Anti-detection patches remove navigator.webdriver, clean Playwright/Selenium artifacts from window, inject realistic chrome.runtime and plugin stubs.

See [ARCHITECTURE.md](ARCHITECTURE.md) for full implementation details.

Security Model

1. Prompt injection scanner — 20+ regex patterns detect instruction override attempts, social engineering, and data exfiltration commands in page content
2. Content sanitization — Hidden/invisible elements are stripped before returning page text, preventing injection via zero-size or off-screen elements
3. Content spotlighting — All page content is wrapped in `` tags with security footers
4. Domain controls — Cloud metadata endpoints are blocked entirely; banking/email domains trigger warnings; stealth-only domains enforce stealth mode

Additionally, all output is scanned for credential patterns (API keys, tokens, JWTs) and redacted before being returned.

Tools (11)

| Tool | Purpose | |------|---------| | chrome_set_mode | Switch between stealth/fast mode | | chrome_navigate | Navigate to URL | | chrome_snapshot | Get sanitized accessibility tree | | chrome_screenshot | Take PNG screenshot | | chrome_click | Click element (Bezier mouse in stealth) | | chrome_type | Type text (Gaussian delays in stealth) | | chrome_tabs | List/switch/create/close tabs | | chrome_evaluate | Run JS in page context (output redacted) | | chrome_wait | Wait for selector or timeout | | chrome_scroll | Scroll up/down (jittered in stealth) | | chrome_page_info | Get current URL, title, domain risk |

Setup

1. Launch Chrome with CDP:

``bash /Applications/Google\ Chrome.app/Contents/MacOS/Google\ Chrome \ --remote-debugging-port=9222 \ --user-data-dir=~/.chrome-debug-profile ``

1. Install and run:

``bash npm install npm start ``

1. Register in your MCP config:

``json { "chrome-stealth": { "command": "node", "args": ["path/to/chrome-mcp/index.js"], "env": { "CDP_ENDPOINT": "http://127.0.0.1:9222" } } } ``

Stealth-Only Domains

LinkedIn (linkedin.com, www.linkedin.com) enforces stealth mode — fast mode is blocked. This is enforced at 5 layers: navigation, mode switch, every interaction, post-redirect, and tab switch.
