LaskoBOT — Protocol v2, Multi‑Instance, Cross‑Browser

Modern MCP server + browser extensions for reliable, multi‑instance automation over a single WebSocket daemon.

✨ Features

✨ Highlights

• Single WS daemon (8765), many sessions (Claude instances)
• Per‑session tab routing and ownership (no cross‑talk)
• Unified tools across Chrome and Firefox
• Auto‑reconnect (Firefox adds alarms + online hooks)

🚀 Quick Start

Prerequisites

• Node.js 20+
• Chrome or Firefox
• Claude Code
• Also works with WSL2 and Windows Chrome

Installation

Step 1 - Deploy Script

git clone https://github.com/david-strejc/browsermcp-enhanced.git
cd browsermcp-enhanced
./scripts/deploy

Step 2 - install systemd services (HTTP + WS daemon):

• Option A: User services (recommended for nvm users, no sudo required):

  ./scripts/systemd-user-install.sh
  

• Option B: System services (requires sudo):

  sudo ./scripts/systemd-install.sh --user "$USER" \
    --install-dir "/home/$USER/.local/lib/browsermcp-enhanced" \
    --http-port 3000 --ws-port 8765
  

Step 3 - Load extension (one browser at a time):

• Chrome: chrome://extensions → Developer mode → Load unpacked → chrome-extension/
• Firefox: about:debugging#/runtime/this-firefox → Load Temporary Add‑on → firefox-extension/manifest.json

Step 4 - Configure MCP

  {
    "mcpServers": {
      "browsermcp": {
        "type": "http",
        "url": "http://127.0.0.1:3000/mcp"
      }
    }
  }

🐛 Known Issues

• WebSocket reconnection may require Chrome restart
• Some sites with strict CSP may require unsafe mode
• Safari and Firefox support coming in v2.0.0
• Behind proxy: If you're behind a proxy, set NO_PROXY=localhost,127.0.0.1 to allow local connections

📖 Usage

Basic Navigation

// Navigate to a URL
await browser_navigate({ url: "https://example.com" })

// Snapshot
await snapshot.accessibility({ mode: 'scaffold' })

// Click an element
await browser_click({ ref: "button-1", element: "Submit button" })

JavaScript Execution

// Plain DOM
await js.execute({ code: "return document.title" })

// Safe operation (no code)
await js.execute({ method: 'query', args: ['h3', { attrs: ['textContent'], limit: 10 }] })

// Unsafe (enable in extension options first)
await js.execute({ code: "(function(){ return location.href })()", unsafe: true })

Form Automation

// Multi-step form filling
await browser_multitool({
  intent: "form_fill",
  snapshot: snapshotData,
  fields: {
    "username": "john.doe",
    "email": "john@example.com",
    "message": "Hello world"
  }
})
