WeaveTab is a lightweight, local Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that empowers AI agents to seamlessly interact with web browsers using Chrome DevTools Protocol (CDP).
Unlike other solutions, WeaveTab is completely autonomous and zero-setup. It automatically launches a sandboxed browser profile parallel to your daily browsing—meaning you never have to close your browser or mess with debugging ports again.
Key Features
- Zero-Setup Autonomous Browser: Runs completely parallel to your existing browser via an isolated sandbox. No manual port configuration, no closing your personal browser.
- No Extensions Required: Connects directly via native CDP.
- Semantic Action Map:
weave_readreturns a parsed, highly compressed DOM semantic map, significantly reducing token consumption. - Sniper Mode Actions:
weave_clickandweave_typeautomatically locate and interact with elements in one step based on their intent or label. - Local & Secure: No cloud dependencies. Built-in rate limiting and optional Safe Mode.
- Screenshot Support: Optionally use
weave_screenshotto capture current tabs, orweave_peekfor targeted vision on specific elements/canvas.
Quick Start (MCP Integration)
The easiest way to use WeaveTab is via npx. Add the following to your MCP client configuration (e.g., Cursor, OpenCode, Claude Desktop).
Cursor / OpenCode
Add this to your IDE's MCP configuration settings:
{
"mcpServers": {
"weavetab": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["-y", "@fy2ne/weavetab@latest"]
}
}
}
Claude Desktop
Edit your claude_desktop_config.json:
{
"mcpServers": {
"weavetab": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["-y", "@fy2ne/weavetab@latest"]
}
}
}
Tool Arsenal
WeaveTab exposes a rich set of specialized tools for your AI:
weave_read: Reads the page and returns a semantic action map.weave_click: Clicks elements by label, intent, or ID.weave_type: Types text into forms securely.weave_navigate: Navigates to a target URL.weave_scroll: Scrolls up, down, top, or bottom.weave_wait: Wait for specific states (navigation, element, DOM stability).weave_tabs: List open tabs or switch between them.weave_extract: Extract visible content to text or JSON.weave_screenshot: Capture a PNG of the current view.weave_peek: Targeted vision over specific coordinates.weave_key: Press physical keys and modifiers.weave_find: Find elements semantically without extracting the full page.
Security & Configuration
WeaveTab respects your system. It actively refuses to run as root/sudo.
On first run, WeaveTab generates a configuration file at ~/.weavetab/config.json:
{
"safeMode": false,
"allow": [],
"rateLimitMs": 1000,
"preferredBrowser": "google-chrome",
"persistentProfile": false,
"screenshot": true,
"peek": true
}
Safety Features
- Storage hard-block: Disables scripts accessing cookies/localStorage in specific environments.
- Root Detection: Exits if run with root permissions.
- Domain Allowlist: Prevents your agent from going to untrusted sites when
safeModeis active. - Audit Logging: Every action taken by the AI is cleanly logged locally at
~/.weavetab/audit.logfor your review.
