Cloak MCP

Stealth browser automation for AI agents - a Model Context Protocol server combining CloakBrowser's anti-detection with Playwright MCP-inspired architecture. Its 26 documented tools cover cloak, page, network, cookies. It runs locally over stdio via the published package.

People who work with cloak, page and network and want it reachable from Claude, Cursor, VS Code, or another MCP client. The project is written in Python.

01 · Install Cloak MCP

Claude Code

claude mcp add overtimepog-cloakmcp -- uvx cloakbrowsermcp

Claude Desktop / Cursor / VS Code - add to config

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "overtimepog-cloakmcp": {
      "command": "uvx",
      "args": [
        "cloakbrowsermcp"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Same JSON for Cursor. For VS Code, rename the top-level key from `mcpServers` to `servers`.

Using another client? Same JSON, different key

02 · Evidence

Security posture

What to check before giving this server access to your agent - from the registry, GitHub, and our own probes. We don't score safety; we show what's verifiable.

runs as local process (stdio) - runs on your machine with your user's permissions

license no standard license detected - usage rights unclear; check the repo before commercial use

pypi package cloakbrowsermcp - check the name against the project README before installing (PyPI has no namespace ownership)

registry namespace io.github.overtimepog is GitHub-verified and matches the repo owner
