mcp-server-webdriver AGENTS.md

Repository instructions for mcp-server-webdriver, a server that lets an MCP client control a Firefox browser. MCP is a standard way for AI tools to call external capabilities.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use them when developing or testing the server, running one test, installing development dependencies, or checking its Debian installation.
Why use it?
They provide the commands and setup needed to run unit tests, browser integration tests, and the server correctly.

Getting it into your agent

One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

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 B, and why

mcp-server-webdriver AGENTS.md scanned grade B with 2 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 2d 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.

Asks for rootmediumPrivilege escalation

A mod that escalates privileges can change anything on the machine, not only the project.

Commands

# Unit tests only (no browser required — used by Debian build):
pytest tests/ -m "not integration"

# All tests including browser integration (requires geckodriver on PATH):
pytest tests/

# Run a single test class or function:
pytest tests/test_server.py::TestNormaliseUrl
pytest tests/test_server.py::TestBrowserIntegration::test_navigate_and_title

# Install dev dependencies:
pip install -e ".[dev]"

# Run the server (normally launched by MCP client, not by hand):
mcp-server-webdriver --help

sudo apt update && sudo apt install python3-mcp-server-webdriver

Architecture

The entire server is a single file: server.py. There are no submodules.

Core components

BrowserState dataclass — owns the Firefox session and all captured DevTools data. It holds:

  • The webdriver.Firefox driver instance
  • Three in-memory buffers (protected by threading.Lock): _console, _js_errors, _network
  • A _pending dict tracking in-flight network requests by request ID, used to calculate duration_ms when a response arrives
  • BiDi handler IDs for cleanup on re-attach

BiDi event capture_attach_bidi() registers four async callbacks on the Selenium BiDi API (driver.script for console/JS errors, driver.network for request/response/fail events). Handlers write to the shared buffers under the lock. Network timing is derived from (response.timestamp - request.timestamp) * 1000. If the Selenium version doesn't support network BiDi, the network handlers are silently skipped.

FastMCP servermcp = FastMCP(...) at module level. Tools are decorated with @mcp.tool(). State is passed to every tool via Context using the lifespan pattern: ctx.lifespan_context["browser"] returns the BrowserState. The helper _st(ctx) wraps this lookup.

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.

mcp-server-webdriver AGENTS.md is an instructions file published in the GitHub repository VitexSoftware/mcp-server-webdriver (4 stars, last pushed 4d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 1,494 tokens to every session, about $0.0075 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it B with 2 findings (asks for root, makes network calls). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-31.
