Puppeteer
Full browser automation: navigate, click, screenshot, and scrape.
What it does
Controls a headless Chromium browser via Puppeteer, enabling navigation, DOM interaction, form filling, screenshot capture, and JavaScript execution.
Why it matters
Many modern pages require JavaScript to render. Puppeteer is the only reliable way to interact with SPAs, dashboards, and login-gated pages.
Best for
- Web scraping with JavaScript
- Form automation
- Screenshot capture
- End-to-end testing
- SPA interaction
- UI testing
Not ideal for
- Simple page reading
- High-speed bulk scraping
- Resource-constrained environments
When to use it
When you need to interact with JavaScript-heavy websites, fill in forms, navigate multi-step flows, or capture screenshots.
When not to use it
When the target page is static HTML — use the Fetch MCP instead for lower overhead and faster results.
Key features
- Full Chromium browser
- JavaScript execution
- Screenshot capture
- Form interaction

Frequently asked questions
Does it require Chrome to be installed?
No. Puppeteer downloads its own bundled Chromium instance automatically on first run.
