Connect To Claude Desktop¶

Use stdio when Claude Desktop should start the server on demand.

Add The Server¶

Add this entry to claude_desktop_config.json, then restart Claude Desktop:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "cloakbrowser": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "cloakbrowser-mcp@latest"]
    }
  }
}

Optional Persistent Profile¶

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "cloakbrowser": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "cloakbrowser-mcp@latest"],
      "env": {
        "PLAYWRIGHT_MCP_USER_DATA_DIR": "/absolute/path/to/profile"
      }
    }
  }
}

Verify¶

Ask Claude Desktop to use the cloakbrowser server to open a page and take a browser snapshot. The upstream Playwright MCP browser tools should be available unchanged.
