mcp-web-inspector CLAUDE.md

mcp-web-inspector CLAUDE.md is an instructions file for Claude Code from antonzherdev/mcp-web-inspector. It costs 3,316 tokens per session, scanned C, original, MIT.

Instructions for a browser-automation MCP server built with Playwright, a tool for controlling web browsers programmatically.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use them to configure page interaction, screenshots, JavaScript execution, HTTP requests, session persistence, and CDP connections.
Why use it?
They explain how browser sessions, saved login data, and debugging ports behave, reducing setup confusion and accidental session reuse.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade C, and why

mcp-web-inspector CLAUDE.md scanned grade C with 1 finding against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 5d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

rm -rf with a variable or a broad path is one typo away from removing the wrong tree.

CLAUDE.md

This file provides guidance to Claude Code (claude.ai/code) when working with code in this repository.

Overview

This is a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that provides browser automation capabilities using Playwright. It enables LLMs to interact with web pages, take screenshots, execute JavaScript, and perform HTTP requests through a set of MCP tools.

Server name: playwright-mcp (important for tool name length constraints - some clients like Cursor have a 60-character limit for server_name:tool_name)

Command Line Options

Session Persistence

By default, browser session data (cookies, localStorage, sessionStorage) is automatically saved and persists across browser restarts.

Available flags:

  • --no-save-session - Disable session persistence (start fresh each time)
  • --user-data-dir <path> - Customize where session data is stored (default: ./.mcp-web-inspector)
  • --cdp-port <number> - Chromium remote-debugging port. Default: auto-pick the first free port starting at 9222 (so multiple parallel instances don't collide). Pass an explicit number to pin a port, or 0 to disable CDP entirely. When enabled, external Playwright clients can attach to the same browser via chromium.connectOverCDP("http://localhost:<port>") — useful for seed/login scripts that share cookies and the open page set with the MCP server. The resolved URL is surfaced via the MCP Server instructions field at the initialize handshake. Security: the port has no authentication; anyone with local access to the machine can drive the browser. Disable on shared/multi-tenant hosts with --cdp-port 0.
  • --warmup-browser - Launch Chromium at server startup instead of lazily on the first tool call. Off by default — sessions that never invoke an MCP tool shouldn't pay for Chromium startup. Combine with --cdp-port when external CDP clients (e.g. seed/login scripts) need the browser ready before any tool call has fired. Failures surface on the first real tool call rather than blocking startup.

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
