MCP Camoufox
The most feature-rich stealth browser MCP server. 102 tools for full browser control powered by Camoufox — a Firefox fork with C++ level anti-detection that bypasses Cloudflare, bot detection, and anti-automation.
One command. No Python. No manual setup. Everything auto-installs.
claude mcp add camoufox -- npx -y mcp-camoufox@latestWhat Can It Do?
- Login to Google, ChatGPT, GitHub — without getting blocked
- Fill forms, click buttons, type text, upload files
- Manage cookies, localStorage, sessions across visits
- Take screenshots, export PDFs, capture network traffic
- Work with multiple tabs, iframes, dialogs
- Execute JavaScript, inspect elements, scroll pages
- Scrape structured data (job listings, products) with auto-detected selectors
- All while being undetectable by anti-bot systems

Proven on Real Sites
| Site | Challenge | Result |
|------|-----------|--------|
| 2captcha.com/demo/cloudflare-turnstile | Cloudflare Turnstile widget | ✅ "Success!" via click_turnstile() tool (proof) |
| bot.sannysoft.com | Firefox fingerprint tests | ✅ All green (proof) |
| browserscan.net/bot-detection | WebDriver/UA/CDP/Navigator | ✅ All categories "Normal" (proof) |
🎯 Cloudflare Turnstile → Success via click_turnstile()
click_turnstile() auto-detects the widget via 6 selector fallback (iframe[src*=challenges.cloudflare.com], [data-sitekey], .cf-turnstile, …), computes checkbox position (offset_x=30 from widget left), and clicks with a 3-step Bezier-like approach — combined with Camoufox's native humanize + disable_coop for cross-origin iframe click.
Scope: works on Interactive Turnstile (visible iframe widget). Managed Challenge interstitials ("Just a moment...") render the widget in shadow DOM — not supported here; use sister project mcp-stealth-chrome (Chrome+CDP) for those. Real-world bypass success also depends on IP reputation and browser fingerprint — code alone doesn't guarantee it.
🧪 bot.sannysoft.com → Firefox Fingerprint Pass
User Agent reports Firefox/135.0, WebDriver missing, WebDriver Advanced passed, Permissions prompt, Plugins length 5 passed, Languages en-US,en, WebGL Intel HD Graphics — all green. ("Chrome: missing" is expected — Camoufox spoofs Firefox, not Chrome.)
🔍 browserscan.net/bot-detection → All Categories Normal
WebDriver, User-Agent, CDP, Navigator — every detection category returns "Normal". Camoufox's C++-level Firefox patches leave zero automation signals.

| wait_for_network_idle | Wait until no in-flight requests for N ms (better than fixed timeouts for SPAs) |
| describe_page | Compact LLM-friendly summary (title, h1, buttons, links, forms) — cheaper than browser_snapshot |
Scraping & Extraction (4)
| Tool | Description |
|------|-------------|
| detect_content_pattern | Auto-detect repeated content (cards, listings) and suggest CSS selectors. Run this before extract_structured. |
| extract_structured | Extract data from repeated elements as clean JSON. Auto-deduplicates, filters empties, direct_text_only prevents field mixing. |
| extract_table | Extract HTML table as JSON array with auto-detected headers |
| scrape_page | Smart scraper: auto-extract main content (strips nav/footer), links, meta, headings. Smart truncation at paragraph boundary. |
Debug (4)
| Tool | Description |
|------|-------------|

Website (Cloudflare, bot detection — bypassed)Why stealth works
- Juggler protocol instead of CDP — sites detecting Chrome DevTools Protocol cannot detect Camoufox
- C++ level patches — fingerprint spoofing at browser engine level, not JavaScript injection
- GeoIP auto-detection — timezone, locale, geolocation match your real IP
- Human-like behavior — optional
humanizemode for realistic mouse movements
Why sessions persist
Browser profile stored at ~/.camoufox-mcp/profile/. Cookies, localStorage, IndexedDB survive across sessions. Login once, stay logged in.
Why refs work better
browser_snapshot tags elements with data-mcp-ref attributes. This is:
- More token-efficient than sending full HTML
- More reliable than CSS selectors that break when sites update
- Clickable via
click(ref="e5")— no selector gymnastics
Data Storage
| Path | Contents |
|------|----------|
| ~/.camoufox-mcp/profile/ | Browser profile (cookies, localStorage, cache) |
| ~/.camoufox-mcp/screenshots/ | Screenshots, PDFs, HAR exports |
Reset everything: rm -rf ~/.camoufox-mcp/ — or call the reset_profile tool (browser must be closed first).
Switching between accounts on the same domain
The default profile persists across browser_close calls, so the next login on the same domain inherits cookies + session — sometimes redirecting to the wrong account. Two options:
browser_launch(fresh_profile=true)— uses a temp profile dir that's removed onbrowser_close. Best for one-off logins.reset_profile(browser must be closed) — wipes the shared profile entirely.
Troubleshooting
| Problem | Fix |
|---------|-----|
| "Browser not running" | Call browser_launch first |
| Click blocked by overlay | Auto JS-fallback handles it. Or press_key("Escape") first. |
| Stale refs after navigation | Call browser_snapshot again — refs regenerate each time |
| Window too large | browser_launch(width=1024, height=768) |
| First launch slow | Downloading Camoufox binary (~80MB). Happens once. |
| Huge snapshot output | Normal for big pages. Use get_text or evaluate instead. |
| iframe not accessible | Use list_frames + frame_evaluate |
| CAPTCHA appears | Cannot auto-solve. Use headless=false and solve manually. |
| Login lands on wrong account | Profile carry-over. Use fresh_profile=true on launch or reset_profile. |
| MCP server silently dies | If you ran pkill -f camoufox, you killed the MCP node process too (its argv contains "camoufox"). Target the binary specifically — e.g. pkill -f "Camoufox.app/Contents/MacOS" — or use pkill -f camoufox-js. |
