Project Introduction
MCP-Undetected-Chromedriver is an MCP (Multi Channel Protocol) service that wraps the functionality of the undetected-chromedriver library into a series of easy-to-use APIs. This project is particularly suitable for scenarios that require bypassing modern website anti-bot detection mechanisms in automated testing, data scraping, or web automation scripts.
Key Features
Based on undetected-chromedriver, effectively bypassing website anti-bot detection
Provides rich browser operation API interfaces
Supports screenshots, PDF export, and other functionalities
Supports complex page interaction operations such as clicking, form filling, dragging, etc.
Seamlessly integrates with other tools in the MCP ecosystem
Todo List
Optimize browser driver management and handle driver interruptions
Extend API capabilities
Add more comprehensive error handling and logging
Improve documentation with more usage examples
Add support for browser profiles and extensions
Usage
Starting the Service
Available APIs
The service provides the following main API interfaces:
`browser_navigate`: Navigate to a specified URL
`browser_screenshot`: Take a screenshot of the current page
`browser_click`: Click on page elements
`browser_iframe_click`: Click on elements within an iframe
`browser_fill`: Fill content in input fields
`browser_select`: Select options in dropdown selection boxes
`browser_hover`: Hover the mouse over elements
`browser_evalute`: Execute JavaScript code
`browser_close`: Close the browser
`browser_get_visible_text`: Get visible text on the page
`browser_get_visible_html`: Get visible HTML on the page
`browser_go_back`: Navigate backward in browser history
`browser_go_forward`: Navigate forward in browser history
`browser_drag`: Drag elements
`browser_press_key`: Simulate key presses
`browser_save_as_pdf`: Save the page as a PDF
Code Example
How It Works
This service uses the undetected-chromedriver library to create a specialized Chrome browser instance that effectively evades common anti-bot detection mechanisms. The service wraps these features through the MCP protocol, providing an easy-to-use API interface that makes automated testing and web scraping more convenient.

FAQ
**Q: Why choose undetected-chromedriver instead of the standard selenium webdriver?**
A: undetected-chromedriver is specifically designed to bypass anti-bot detection mechanisms of modern websites, such as Cloudflare, Distil Networks, etc., making it more reliable for data scraping and automated testing scenarios.
**Q: How does the service handle browser instances?**
A: The service maintains a global browser instance, which is automatically created when an API requiring a browser is first called. The browser can be explicitly closed using the `browser_close` API.
**Q: How to handle elements within iframes?**
A: The `browser_iframe_click` API can directly operate on elements within iframes, without the need to manually switch frame contexts.
