Obscura MCP
Archived adapter that exposed Obscura's Rust headless browser through MCP before native support landed in v0.1.4. Used to provide four tools: browse_page for one-shot content extraction in multiple formats (markdown, axtree, links), browse_interact for single actions like clicks and form fills, browse_session for persistent multi-step workflows like login sequences, and browse_scrape for parallel bulk operations across isolated workers. The npm wrapper downloaded an 80MB browser binary on first run and cached it locally. If you need MCP access to Obscura now, use the upstream obscura mcp command directly rather than this deprecated package.

obscura-mcp — ARCHIVED
⚠️ Archived. Upstream ships native MCP since v0.1.4 (
obscura mcp). npm package deprecated.
An MCP server adapter for Obscura, a lightweight Rust headless browser for scraping and AI agent automation.
Exposes Obscura's native CDP capabilities through a clean MCP interface — no Chrome dependency, no heavyweight browser automation.
Installation
npm install -g obscura-mcp
The npm package itself is a small Node.js wrapper (~20 KB). The browser binary (~80 MB) is downloaded automatically on first use — no separate install step needed.
The binary is cached at ~/.obscura/bin/ and survives npm upgrades.
Pre-release builds are published under the dev tag:
npm install -g obscura-mcp@dev
To use a custom binary path:
export OBSCURA_PATH=/path/to/obscura
Quick Start
# Install
npm install -g obscura-mcp
