Building something similar for Chrome and Firefox browsers: https://github.com/DO-SAY-GO/WebCLI - a CLI not MCP. Tho am considering MCP for distribution, even tho agents love the CLI and the proof demos speak for themselves.

The reason I did not include Safari was there wasn't enough parity between its Safaridriver surface and what Bidi/CDP give now. Safari is doing Bidi tho, iirc. So ...soon perhaps. ;) ;p xx ;p

Not really sure why your project needs to be so… edgy?

I wonder if it supports Private Relay. Private Relay is great for getting around scraping blocks because they explicitly whitelist apple private Relay ips.

Should do. Private relay really would be a sweet alternative to residential scraping proxies, but I’d expect sites to put in additionally checks and captchas before too long.

I have been using Chrome's official MCP devtools server since Nov 2025.

Before that I used Chrome web drivers but MCP is faster and more capable.

I also instruct LLMs to test my pages on Firefox using its official MCP to make sure they work in Firefox too:

Now I will add Safari to the compatibility tests. cool
