CLAUDE.md

browser-mcp CLAUDE.md is an instructions file for Claude Code from drisplabs/browser-mcp. It costs 1,909 tokens per session, scanned A, original, MIT.

Project instructions for Drisp Browser, a browser-automation server that lets an AI navigate pages, inspect their structure, interact with controls, and read content.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use them when developing or maintaining the TypeScript browser server, including navigation, forms, screenshots, page snapshots, network inspection, linting, and type checks.
Why use it?
They give an agent the project’s architecture, available browser actions, and commands for building and checking the code.

Instructions file for Claude Code

Written for Claude Code: the file is CLAUDE.md. Also seen: mentions CLAUDE.md; mentions Claude Code.

This is drisplabs/browser-mcp's own configuration. It tells Claude Code how to work on browser-mcp itself, so it is not a mod to install elsewhere. Copy it as a starting point and replace the rules that are about this project. Everything browser-mcp configures →

Needs its repository: it reads a path above its own folder, which exists only inside the repository. The line is import { createLinkedMocks } from '../../mocks/puppeteer.mock.js';.

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 A, and why

browser-mcp CLAUDE.md scanned grade A with 0 findings 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 6d 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.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

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

Project Overview

Drisp Browser is an MCP (Model Context Protocol) server for AI-powered browser automation via Puppeteer and CDP (Chrome DevTools Protocol). It provides semantic page snapshots - compact, structured representations designed for LLM consumption with stable element IDs that survive DOM mutations.

25 Tools across 9 categories:

  • Session: list_pages, close_page
  • Navigation: navigate, go_back, go_forward, reload
  • Observation: snapshot, find, get_element, screenshot
  • Interaction: click, type, press, select, hover, scroll_to, scroll, drag, wheel
  • Canvas: inspect_canvas
  • Form Understanding: get_form, get_field
  • Content: read_page
  • Network: list_network_calls, search_network_calls

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.
