webmcp-bridge · Summary
A bridge that connects local MCP clients to browser WebMCP tools through Playwright, supporting both native and injected adapters.
filesystem · Summary
A feature-rich MCP server for filesystem operations with dynamic directory access control.
webmcp-bridge · Use cases
- Connect local MCP clients to browser-only WebMCP tools like those on websites requiring authentication
- Enable human-AI collaboration on the same web page with shared browser context
- Automate interactions with websites that don't natively support WebMCP through adapter injection
filesystem · Use cases
- Enable AI models to read and write project files during development
- Allow Claude or other MCP clients to browse and analyze codebases
- Provide secure sandboxed access to specific directories for content generation
