README
CloakBrowser MCP Server
Stealth browser automation via Model Context Protocol, powered by CloakBrowser.
A drop-in MCP server that wraps CloakBrowser's stealth Chromium with 57 source-level C++ fingerprint patches — not JS injection. Passes all 30/30 bot detection tests (reCAPTCHA v3 score: 0.9, Cloudflare Turnstile: PASS, FingerprintJS: PASS).
All tools use the cloak_ prefix to avoid conflicts with Hermes Agent's built-in browser_* tools.
Features
- 22 cloak tools — navigate, click, type, screenshot, console, evaluate JS, form filling, drag & drop, and more
- Stealth by default —
navigator.webdriver = false, real Chrome TLS fingerprint, no CDP detection - Human-like behavior —
humanize=Trueenables Bézier mouse curves, per-character keyboard timing - Proxy support — HTTP & SOCKS5 with GeoIP auto-detection
- Session persistence — save/load cookies and localStorage
- Compatible with any MCP client — Hermes Agent, Claude Desktop, Cursor, etc.
- No naming conflicts —
cloak_*prefix won't collide with Hermes built-inbrowser_*tools
Quick Start
Install
pip install mcp-cloakbrowser
Run
# As a stdio MCP server
mcp-cloakbrowser
# Or directly
python -m cloakbrowser_mcp.server
Use with Hermes Agent
Add to ~/.hermes/config.yaml:
mcp_servers:
cloakbrowser:
command: "python"
args: ["-m", "cloakbrowser_mcp.server"]
timeout: 120
Restart Hermes Agent. Tools will be registered as mcp_cloakbrowser_cloak_*.
Use with Claude Desktop
Add to claude_desktop_config.json:
{
"mcpServers": {
"cloakbrowser": {
"command": "mcp-cloakbrowser"
}
}
}

Tool Usage Examples
Navigate and Interact
# Launch browser
await call_tool("cloak_launch", {"headless": True, "humanize": True})
# Navigate to a page
await call_tool("cloak_navigate", {"url": "https://example.com"})
# Get snapshot to see interactive elements
snapshot = await call_tool("cloak_snapshot", {})
# Shows: [@e1] <a>Link text, [@e2] <input>[type: text]...
# Click a link
await call_tool("cloak_click", {"ref": "@e1"})
# Type into search box
await call_tool("cloak_type", {"ref": "@e2", "text": "hello world", "submit": True})
# Take screenshot
await call_tool("cloak_screenshot", {})
Fill a Login Form
await call_tool("cloak_fill_form", {
"fields": [
{"ref": "@e1", "value": "username"},
{"ref": "@e2", "value": "password123"},
],
"submit_ref": "@e3",
})
Advanced: Custom Fingerprint & Proxy
await call_tool("cloak_launch", {
"headless": True,
"humanize": True,
"proxy": "socks5://user:pass@proxy:1080",
"fingerprint_seed": "my-unique-seed-123",
"geoip": True,

Save/Restore Session
# Save session after login
await call_tool("cloak_save_storage_state", {"path": "session.json"})
# Later: restore session
await call_tool("cloak_load_storage_state", {"path": "session.json"})
Why cloak_* Prefix?
Hermes Agent has built-in browser_* tools (browser_navigate, browser_click, etc.) that use its own Playwright instance. Using the same names would cause conflicts. The cloak_ prefix makes it clear these tools use CloakBrowser's stealth Chromium, and allows you to use both in the same session:
browser_navigate→ Hermes built-in Playwright (fast, no stealth)cloak_navigate→ CloakBrowser stealth Chromium (passes bot detection)
Architecture

CloakBrowser (Playwright-compatible API)

Stealth Chromium (57 C++ patches)
The server maintains a single browser instance (singleton pattern). All tools operate on the current page. The browser is auto-launched on first tool call if not explicitly launched.
