Selenium FAQs

Question 1

How does Selenium MCP Server perform browser automation?

Accepted Answer

It connects to an external browserless service (which handles the actual browser instances) via TCP. This allows you to execute commands like navigating, interacting with elements, and running JavaScript through Selenium WebDriver, all in a headless, distributed manner.

Question 2

How can I deploy Selenium MCP Server?

Accepted Answer

You can deploy it using Docker, Docker Compose, Kubernetes, or directly with Python. It requires a separate browserless service to be running and accessible, which can be configured via environment variables like BROWSERLESS_URL.

Question 3

What is Selenium MCP Server?

Accepted Answer

Selenium MCP Server is a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that enables robust browser automation using Selenium WebDriver. It's specifically designed for integration with a browserless service, eliminating the need for local browser installations.

Question 4

What are the typical use cases for Selenium MCP Server?

Accepted Answer

This server is perfect for web scraping, automated web testing, data extraction, and any scenario requiring programmatic browser interaction in scalable, containerized environments like Docker or Kubernetes. It's built for efficiency and high concurrency.

Question 5

What are the key advantages of using Selenium MCP Server?

Accepted Answer

Its main advantages include scalable and container-ready deployments (via an Alpine-based Docker image), high-performance async Python operations with FastMCP, automatic browser session management per MCP context, and the ability to run web automation without any local browser dependencies.
