safari-mcp vs GenericAgent

safari-mcp: Safari MCP is the only MCP server for Safari, providing 80 tools for native browser automation on macOS. It uses your real Safari with all logins and sessions, runs in the background without stealing focus, and has zero dependencies. It reduces CPU usage by ~60% compared to Chrome on Apple Silicon.; GenericAgent: GenericAgent is a minimal autonomous agent framework with about 3K lines of core code, 9 atomic tools and a roughly 100-line agent loop that gives an LLM control of the browser, terminal, filesystem, keyboard/mouse, screen and Android devices. Each solved task is crystallized into a reusable skill, so capabilities grow with use.
