cloakbrowser-mcp: Instructions file for Codex

AGENTS.md

cloakbrowser-mcp AGENTS.md is an instructions file for Codex, OpenCode from swimmwatch/cloakbrowser-mcp. It costs 2,225 tokens per session, scanned A, original, MIT.

An operating guide for CloakBrowser MCP, a small bridge that connects Playwright MCP browser tools to CloakBrowser's Chromium browser. MCP is a standard way for AI tools to communicate with software.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when developing, debugging, or reviewing this Node.js and TypeScript command-line bridge.
Why use it?
It explains the project structure, runtime rules, and limits that prevent agents from breaking the upstream browser-tool interface.

Written for Codex and OpenCode: the file is AGENTS.md. Also seen: mentions AGENTS.md; mentions Codex.

This is swimmwatch/cloakbrowser-mcp's own configuration. It tells Codex and OpenCode how to work on cloakbrowser-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 cloakbrowser-mcp configures →

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

cloakbrowser-mcp AGENTS.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 10d 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.

AGENTS.md

Repository-specific instructions for AI coding agents working on cloakbrowser-mcp. Global agent instructions remain authoritative for general communication, research, tool use, editing, and completion behavior.

Project

cloakbrowser-mcp is a stdio MCP bridge for upstream @playwright/mcp. It starts Playwright MCP as a child process, injects the CloakBrowser Chromium executable through a generated config, forwards upstream tools unchanged, and adds two local introspection tools.

  • Runtime: Node.js ^22.13.0 || >=24.0.0, ES modules, strict TypeScript with NodeNext.
  • Public surface: CLI package only, bin: cloakbrowser-mcp.
  • Docker base: pinned official Playwright MCP image from Dockerfile.
  • Repository artifacts are written in English unless a localization file requires another language.

Invariants

  • Do not copy, rewrite, or mutate upstream Playwright MCP browser tool contracts.
  • Local tools are limited to cloakbrowser_binary_info and cloakbrowser_bridge_info.
  • PLAYWRIGHT_MCP_* is the primary configuration namespace.
  • CLOAK_PLAYWRIGHT_MCP_* is only for bridge-specific Cloak toggles.
  • Do not add CLOAKBROWSER_MCP_* aliases.
  • Runtime logs never go to stdout; preserve stdio protocol safety.
  • Preserve Streamable HTTP session isolation and child-process cleanup.

Layout

  • src/cli.ts: CLI entry point; src/server.ts: outer MCP proxy.
  • src/bridge/: config, environment, paths, and local tools.
  • src/cli/: options and lifecycle; src/http/: HTTP sessions and transport.
  • src/logging/, src/protocol/, src/runtime/, src/project/: shared runtime support.
  • tests/unit/, tests/integration/, tests/fixtures/: Vitest suites and fake upstream.

Development

Run the smallest relevant checks while developing. Before completion, run:

npm run check

Task-specific commands include npm run test:unit, npm run test:integration, npm run build, npm run package:verify, npm run docker:build, npm run docker:smoke, and npm run bridge:compare.

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.
