obscura-mcp — ARCHIVED
⚠️ Archived. Upstream ships native MCP since v0.1.4 (
obscura mcp). npm package deprecated.
An MCP server adapter for Obscura, a lightweight Rust headless browser for scraping and AI agent automation.
Exposes Obscura's native CDP capabilities through a clean MCP interface — no Chrome dependency, no heavyweight browser automation.
Installation
npm install -g obscura-mcpThe npm package itself is a small Node.js wrapper (~20 KB). The browser binary (~80 MB) is downloaded automatically on first use — no separate install step needed.
The binary is cached at ~/.obscura/bin/ and survives npm upgrades.
Pre-release builds are published under the dev tag:
npm install -g obscura-mcp@devTo use a custom binary path:
export OBSCURA_PATH=/path/to/obscuraQuick Start
# Install
npm install -g obscura-mcp
# Verify

# Start MCP server (stdio — primary transport)
obscura-mcp --transport stdio
# Or with HTTP transport
obscura-mcp --transport streamable-httpMost MCP clients (Claude Desktop, Cline, Continue) connect via stdio. The streamable-http transport is also supported for custom integrations.
