## Trust breakdown

How this component scores in each security and reliability category. Every signal is checked automatically from public evidence about the published package, including repeated runs of it in an isolated sandbox, and we only credit what we can confirm. Scores are 0–100 per category. Scoring method: https://verifymcp.io/docs/scoring (what has changed: https://verifymcp.io/docs/scoring/changelog)

Scored 2026-10-18.

- **Supply Chain Security**: 0/100
  - No malware scan is available for this kind of package: the supply-chain vendors we use do not cover it. This is a permanent gap in our coverage, not a finding about the package.
  - Known CVEs could not be checked: this image's dependency list comes from an SBOM its publisher attached, which nothing verifies, so we will not report it as a clean result.
  - Install-script risk not yet assessed.
  - Dependency health could not be checked: this image's dependency list comes from an SBOM its publisher attached. It names packages and versions but not whether each is deprecated, still maintained or linked to its source, so there is nothing we can fairly grade.
- **Provenance & Transparency**: 48/100
  - Source repository is publicly reachable at the declared URL.
  - Provenance check failed: no build-provenance attestation is published.
  - Clear OSI-approved license (MIT).
  - Actively maintained (last published 0 days ago).
  - Publishes a security disclosure policy (SECURITY.md).
- **Schema Quality & AI Usability**: 76/100
  - AI-judged instruction clarity (good).
  - Tool/resource definitions use about 2358 tokens (~87/item across 27 items; 27 tools + 0 resources), lean.
  - Usage-examples check failed: none of the tools include examples.
- **Stability & Change Management**: 0/100
  - Stability observed for 0 of 30 days with no destabilising changes; credit accrues until the full window elapses.
- **Tool Coverage**: 100/100
  - 100% of tools have a non-trivial description (not blank, and not just the tool's name).
  - 100% of tool parameters carry a description.
  - Structured output schemas are declared (4% of tools); any adoption earns full credit.
- **Tool Safety**: 100/100
  - No prompt-injection markers were found in the server instructions, tool names or descriptions we captured.
  - All 1 tool(s) whose name or description implies an irreversible operation declare an MCP destructiveHint annotation.
  - An AI judge read all 28 captured unit(s) of tool text and found none that tries to manipulate the model reading it.
- **Capabilities**: 100/100
  - Implements a supported MCP spec version (2025-11-25); the latest is 2026-07-28.

**Unverified: 2 categories.** Categories scored 0 because we could not verify them: a data source with nothing on this package, evidence we could not reach, or a check we could not run. We only credit what we can confirm.

## Install

### How do I install the CloakBrowser MCP server?

CloakBrowser MCP runs locally as a container image, launched with docker run --rm -i -e PLAYWRIGHT_MCP_BROWSER_ENGINE -e PLAYWRIGHT_MCP_HEADLESS -e PLAYWRIGHT_MCP_OUTPUT_DIR -e PLAYWRIGHT_MCP_CODEGEN -e PLAYWRIGHT_MCP_SNAPSHOT_BOXES -e PLAYWRIGHT_MCP_TIMEOUT_SETTLE -e PLAYWRIGHT_MCP_USER_DATA_DIR -e CLOAK_PLAYWRIGHT_MCP_CONTEXT_OPTIONS -e CLOAK_PLAYWRIGHT_MCP_EXTENSION_PATHS -e CLOAK_PLAYWRIGHT_MCP_CONSOLE_FALLBACK -e CLOAK_PLAYWRIGHT_MCP_GEOIP_PROXY_MATCH -e CLOAK_PLAYWRIGHT_MCP_EXTRA_ARGS ghcr.io/swimmwatch/cloakbrowser-mcp:1.15.1. Ready-made configuration for Claude, Cursor, VS Code, Codex and 3 more is on this page, copied from each client's own documentation.

### Claude

- `height` (number, required): Height of the browser window
- `width` (number, required): Width of the browser window

### `browser_console_messages` (~106 tokens)

Returns all console messages

Input parameters:

- `all` (boolean): Return all console messages since the beginning of the session, not just since the last navigation. Defaults to false.
- `filename` (string): File name to save the console messages to. Relative file names are resolved against the workspace root. If not provided, messages are returned as text.
- `level` (string, required): Level of the console messages to return. Each level includes the messages of more severe levels. Defaults to "info".

### `browser_handle_dialog` (~44 tokens)

Handle a dialog

Input parameters:

- `accept` (boolean, required): Whether to accept the dialog.
- `promptText` (string): The text of the prompt in case of a prompt dialog.

### `browser_emulate_media` (~112 tokens)

Emulate CSS media features for the page, for example switch between the light and dark color scheme. Omitted parameters are left unchanged; null clears an override.

Input parameters:

- `colorScheme`: Emulates the prefers-color-scheme media feature
- `contrast`: Emulates the prefers-contrast media feature
- `forcedColors`: Emulates the forced-colors media feature
- `media`: Changes the CSS media type of the page
- `reducedMotion`: Emulates the prefers-reduced-motion media feature

### `browser_evaluate` (~121 tokens)

Evaluate JavaScript expression on page or element

Input parameters:

- `element` (string): Human-readable element description used to obtain permission to interact with the element
- `filename` (string): File name to save the result to. Relative file names are resolved against the workspace root. If not provided, result is returned as text.
- `function` (string, required): () => { /* code */ } or (element) => { /* code */ } when element is provided
- `target` (string): Exact target element reference from the page snapshot, or a unique element selector

### `browser_file_upload` (~46 tokens)

Upload one or multiple files

Input parameters:

- `paths` (array): The absolute paths to the files to upload. Can be single file or multiple files. If omitted, file chooser is cancelled.

### `browser_drop` (~142 tokens)

Drop files or MIME-typed data onto an element, as if dragged from outside the page. At least one of "paths" or "data" must be provided.

Input parameters:

- `data` (object): Data to drop, as a map of MIME type to string value (e.g. {"text/plain": "hello", "text/uri-list": "https://example.com"}).
- `element` (string): Human-readable element description used to obtain permission to interact with the element
- `paths` (array): Absolute paths to files to drop onto the element.
- `target` (string, required): Exact target element reference from the page snapshot, or a unique element selector

### `browser_find` (~185 tokens)

Search the accessibility snapshot of the current page for text or a regular expression. Returns matching snapshot nodes with a few lines of surrounding context (like search snippets), each shown under its path from the root of the tree, which is cheaper than capturing the whole snapshot when you only need to locate an element and its ref.

Input parameters:

- `filename` (string): Save results to a file instead of returning them in the response. Relative file names are resolved against the workspace root.
- `regex` (string): Regular expression to search for in the page snapshot. Matching is case-sensitive by default; wrap the pattern in slashes to add flags, e.g. "/error/i" for case-insensitive. Provide either text or re…
- `text` (string): Plain text to search for in the page snapshot (case-insensitive substring match). Provide either text or regex, not both.

### `browser_fill_form` (~25 tokens)

Fill multiple form fields

Input parameters:

- `fields` (array, required): Fields to fill in

### `browser_press_key` (~44 tokens)

### `browser_type` (~118 tokens)

Type text into editable element

Input parameters:

- `element` (string): Human-readable element description used to obtain permission to interact with the element
- `slowly` (boolean): Whether to type one character at a time. Useful for triggering key handlers in the page. By default entire text is filled in at once.
- `submit` (boolean): Whether to submit entered text (press Enter after)

Go back to the previous page in the history

### `browser_network_requests` (~117 tokens)

Returns a numbered list of network requests since loading the page. Use browser_network_request with the number to get full details.

Input parameters:

- `filename` (string): File name to save the network requests to. Relative file names are resolved against the workspace root. If not provided, requests are returned as text.
- `filter` (string): Only return requests whose URL matches this regexp (e.g. "/api/.*user").
- `static` (boolean, required): Whether to include successful static resources like images, fonts, scripts, etc. Defaults to false.

### `browser_network_request` (~118 tokens)

Returns full details (headers and body) of a single network request, or a single part if `part` is set. Use the number from browser_network_requests.

Input parameters:

- `filename` (string): File name to save the result to. Relative file names are resolved against the workspace root. If not provided, output is returned as text.
