Features: - Take screenshots of any URL (full page or viewport) - Navigate pages and interact with elements - Fill forms and click buttons programmatically - Extract data from dynamic, JavaScript-rendered content - Evaluate JavaScript in the page context - Handle cookies, sessions, and authentication flows - Works headlessly — no display required Puppeteer MCP is ideal for web scraping tasks that require JavaScript rendering, UI testing automation, web monitoring, and any scenario where simple HTTP fetching isn't enough.
