safari-mcp

Active·★ 223·MIT·Updated 2026-10-19

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.

safari-mcp sits in the Browser Automation category, so it is usually better judged by workflow fit, deployment style, and team needs than by isolated features alone. Based on the available metadata, it leans most clearly toward 80 native browser automation tools. A representative use case is Automate web tasks with AI agents using real authenticated sessions. The listed license is MIT. GitHub stars are currently 223. Relevant tags include accessibility, ai-agents.

This write-up is based on the project's README and public repository data. We have not hand-tested the tool.
