Release Notes

Version 2.0.0 - Release 4 April 2026

In this version, we have done some structural changes like seperating functions into save and get. Now save is just focused on saving files on the disk. And get is where LLM wants to get the data from the browser.

Following are the list of enhancements:

  1. Get: To get webpage as markdown, html, screenshot, element's screenshot, list of urls
  2. JS Executor: To execute javascript code for interacting with the webpage
  3. Files: To upload and download files
  4. Alerts: To handle alerts
  5. Click: Added drag and drop of elements by xpath
  6. File: To save webpage as pdf on disk

Version 1.0.0 - Release 31 March 2026

  1. Web Driver: Create new or quit exiting webdiver sessions
  2. Cookies: To manage cookies (add, delete, get, clear)
  3. Clicks: To perform clicks on elements (left client, right click, double click)
  4. Browser: To navigate urls and manage browser capabilities like resize, maximize, minimize, fullscreen, etc.
  5. Scroll: To scroll the entire webpage
  6. Input: Input text into elements and select/unselect checkbox, radio buttons, dropdowns options, etc.
  7. Find: To find element by xPaths

Key Features

  1. Humanised error handleing, enables LLM to intreperate errors and reconfigure tool usage accordingly
  2. Comprehensive element interaction: Clicks, input, select are performed by checking if element is visible, enabled, clickable, etc
  3. Full Navigation control: Open New url, click forward, backward, refresh, etc

The tools leverages following technologies to support

  1. FastMCP: For MCP server implementation
  2. Selenium: For web automation
  3. Google GenAI: For AI assistant

Upcomming

Following are the list of features that will be added in the future:

  1. Tools to support Chrome Dev Tools & BiDi
  2. Enhance save functionality to save files in different formats

Example

Prompt: "Open https://rfpnotification.com and join the waiting list by entering the email address: [test_user@example.com]"

FAQ

What is the selenium_mcp MCP server?
selenium_mcp is a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server profile on explainx.ai. MCP lets AI hosts (e.g. Claude Desktop, Cursor) call tools and resources through a standard interface; this page summarizes categories, install hints, and community ratings.
How do MCP servers relate to agent skills?
Skills are reusable instruction packages (often SKILL.md); MCP servers expose live capabilities. Teams frequently combine both—skills for workflows, MCP for APIs and data. See explainx.ai/skills and explainx.ai/mcp-servers for parallel directories.
How are reviews shown for selenium_mcp?
This profile displays 10 aggregated ratings (sample rows for discoverability plus signed-in user reviews). Average score is about 4.5 out of 5—verify behavior in your own environment before production use.

    We evaluated selenium_mcp against two servers with overlapping tools; this profile had the clearer scope statement.

  • Chaitanya Patil· Aug 8, 2024

    Useful MCP listing: selenium_mcp is the kind of server we cite when onboarding engineers to host + tool permissions.

  • Sakshi Patil· Jul 7, 2024

    selenium_mcp reduced integration guesswork — categories and install configs on the listing matched the upstream repo.

  • Ganesh Mohane· Jun 6, 2024

    I recommend selenium_mcp for teams standardizing on MCP; the explainx.ai page compares cleanly with sibling servers.

    Strong directory entry: selenium_mcp surfaces stars and publisher context so we could sanity-check maintenance before adopting.

  • Dhruvi Jain· Apr 4, 2024

    selenium_mcp has been reliable for tool-calling workflows; the MCP profile page is a good permalink for internal docs.

  • Rahul Santra· Mar 3, 2024

    According to our notes, selenium_mcp benefits from clear Model Context Protocol framing — fewer ambiguous “AI plugin” claims.

  • Pratham Ware· Feb 2, 2024

    We wired selenium_mcp into a staging workspace; the listing’s GitHub and npm pointers saved time versus hunting across READMEs.

  • Yash Thakker· Jan 1, 2024

    selenium_mcp is a well-scoped MCP server in the explainx.ai directory — install snippets and categories matched our Claude Code setup.
