MCP server that gives Claude Code (or any MCP client) a real browser via Puppeteer: navigate pages, click and type, run JavaScript, capture screenshots, manage cookies, and intercept requests. The browser auto-launches on first tool use, and screenshots return inline as MCP image blocks so Claude sees them directly. 16 tools including form filling, wait-for-selector, and request interception.

Automate screenshot captures of web applications for documentation or regression testing
Navigate through multi-step web workflows and extract structured data from dynamic pages
Test website functionality by clicking buttons and filling forms without manual interaction
