Cursor config for Selenium MCP (mcp-selenium)

npx -y @angiejones/mcp-selenium

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "selenium-mcp-mcp-selenium": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@angiejones/mcp-selenium"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Setup steps

1Open Cursor → Settings → MCP → Add new MCP server (or edit ~/.cursor/mcp.json directly).
2Paste the Selenium MCP (mcp-selenium) config below into the "mcpServers" object.
3Fill in placeholder secrets, then save.
4Cursor reloads MCP servers automatically — check Settings → MCP for a green status dot.
5Ask Cursor to use one of Selenium MCP (mcp-selenium)'s tools to confirm it's connected.

Before you start

Node.js with npm (the server runs via npx or a global install)
A supported browser installed locally: Chrome, Firefox, Edge, or Safari
Matching WebDriver where needed (e.g. chromedriver). Safari requires macOS, a one-time `sudo safaridriver --enable`, and 'Allow Remote Automation' turned on; Safari has no headless mode
No API key or account — authentication is none

Selenium MCP (mcp-selenium) + Cursor FAQ

Where is the Cursor config file?

Cursor reads MCP servers from ~/.cursor/mcp.json. Paste the Selenium MCP (mcp-selenium) config there under the "mcpServers" key and restart the client.

Is Selenium MCP (mcp-selenium) safe to use with Cursor?

Does it need an API key?

No. It automates browsers installed locally on your machine, so there's no account, API key, or per-request cost — just Node.js and the browser/driver.

Which browsers are supported?

Chrome, Firefox, Edge, and Safari. Safari requires macOS, a one-time `sudo safaridriver --enable`, and 'Allow Remote Automation' enabled, and it cannot run headless.

How do I install it for Claude Code?

Run `claude mcp add selenium -- npx -y @angiejones/mcp-selenium@latest`. There's also a one-click Goose link and a global `npm install -g @angiejones/mcp-selenium` option.
