Source review
License
Confirm Apache-2.0 terms fit your project and retain notices when required.
Install behavior
Read commands before running them and start with a low-risk local workspace.
Verification
Check outputs, safety notes, and policy fit before exposing the resource to agent workflows.
Why use it
Use it when a project needs browser QA and page inspection from an MCP-capable agent and the team wants inspectable provenance before adoption.
When to use
- You need browser QA and page inspection from an MCP-capable agent.
- The upstream README and license fit the target project.
- You can test the integration on non-production data first.
When not to use
- The tool needs broader access than the task requires.
- The tool result could feed untrusted text into an agent without review.
