Web Automation

An MCP (Model Context Protocol) server that enables Claude Code CLI to interact with Cloud Desktop, ChatGPT, and Gemini web interfaces through browser automation.

Features

• Multi-Service Support: Interact with Cloud Desktop, ChatGPT, and Gemini
• Browser Automation: Uses Playwright for reliable web automation
• Session Persistence: Maintains browser sessions across requests
• Response Extraction: Automatically extracts and returns responses
• Conversation Management: Clear conversation history when needed

Installation

1. Clone the repository:

cd ~/web-automation-mcp

2. Install dependencies:

npm install

3. Build the project:

npm run build

Configuration

Add the server to your Claude MCP settings (~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "web-automation": {
      "command": "node",
      "args": ["/Users/YOUR_USERNAME/web-automation-mcp/dist/index.js"]
    }
  }
}

Usage

Natural Language Support

The MCP server now supports natural language queries through the web_automation_query tool:

# Ask ChatGPT a question
"Ask ChatGPT: What is quantum computing?"

# Send to Gemini
"Send to Gemini: Explain machine learning"

# Clear conversation
"Clear ChatGPT conversation"

# Get latest response
"Get the latest response from Gemini"

# Browser control
"Initialize browser in visible mode"
"Close browser"

Available Tools

1. web_automation_query - Process natural language queries

   • query: string - Natural language description of what you want to do

2. initialize_browser - Initialize the browser

   • headless: boolean (default: false) - Run in headless mode

3. send_to_service - Send input to a service and get response

   • service: "clouddesktop" | "chatgpt" | "gemini"
   • content: string - The message to send

4. get_latest_response - Get the latest response from a service

   • service: "clouddesktop" | "chatgpt" | "gemini"

5. clear_conversation - Clear conversation history

   • service: "clouddesktop" | "chatgpt" | "gemini"

6. cleanup_browser - Close all browser windows

Example Usage in Claude Code

Natural language examples:

# Ask ChatGPT
Use web_automation_query with query: "Ask ChatGPT about the history of computing"

# Send to Gemini
Use web_automation_query with query: "Send to Gemini: write a Python function to sort a list"

# Clear conversation
Use web_automation_query with query: "Clear ChatGPT conversation"

Direct tool usage:

# Initialize browser (visible mode)
Use the initialize_browser tool with headless: false

# Send a message to ChatGPT
Use the send_to_service tool with service: "chatgpt" and content: "What is the capital of France?"

# Clean up when done
Use the cleanup_browser tool

Important Notes

1. Manual Login Required: You must manually log in to each service in the browser window the first time

2. Service URLs: Update the URLs in the handler files if they change:

   • src/handlers/cloudDesktop.ts - Update Cloud Desktop URL
   • src/handlers/chatgpt.ts - ChatGPT URL
   • src/handlers/gemini.ts - Gemini URL

3. Selectors: The CSS selectors in handlers may need updates if the services change their UI

Development

To run in development mode:

npm run dev

To modify service handlers, edit the files in src/handlers/.

Troubleshooting

• Login Required Error: Open the browser in non-headless mode and log in manually
• Selector Not Found: The service UI may have changed - update selectors in the handler
• Timeout Errors: Increase timeout values in the handlers for slower connections
