    I'd personally suggest Playwright-CLI: https://github.com/microsoft/playwright-cli

    It works much faster for than the MCP servers I tried.

    I have been using Chrome's official MCP devtools server since Nov 2025.

    https://github.com/ChromeDevTools/chrome-devtools-mcp

    Before that I used Chrome web drivers but MCP is faster and more capable.

    I also instruct LLMs to test my pages on Firefox using its official MCP to make sure they work in Firefox too:

    https://github.com/mozilla/firefox-devtools-mcp

    Now I will add Safari to the compatibility tests. cool

    But does Apple really care about web developers?

    How do you test on Safari if you don’t have Apple devices?

    How difficult can it be for Apple to make barebones virtual machines with just Safaris?

    I wonder if it supports Private Relay. Private Relay is great for getting around scraping blocks because they explicitly whitelist apple private Relay ips.

      Should do. Private relay really would be a sweet alternative to residential scraping proxies, but I’d expect sites to put in additionally checks and captchas before too long.

      Which sites explicitly whitelist Private Relay IPs?

        https://developer.apple.com/icloud/prepare-your-network-for-... has a guide for web server operators, including a GeoIP CSV which could conceivably be used for whitelisting. More concerning is that they're plugging private access tokens there, which allows Apple to vouch that you're a human running their hardware.

    so it's a crossover of dev tools and LLM? sounds sane enough i'd say

    Building something similar for Chrome and Firefox browsers: https://github.com/DO-SAY-GO/WebCLI - a CLI not MCP. Tho am considering MCP for distribution, even tho agents love the CLI and the proof demos speak for themselves.

    The reason I did not include Safari was there wasn't enough parity between its Safaridriver surface and what Bidi/CDP give now. Safari is doing Bidi tho, iirc. So ...soon perhaps. ;) ;p xx ;p

      Not really sure why your project needs to be so… edgy?
