How to Set Up and Use CamoFox
CamoFox MCP is an anti-detection browser automation MCP server that wraps the CamoFox browser's REST API, providing 47 tools for stealthy web automation including navigation, interaction, observation, session management, and batch workflows. It uses stealth fingerprinting techniques designed to pass bot detection systems, making it suitable for scraping, testing, and automation on sites that block standard headless browsers. The server connects your AI assistant to a running CamoFox browser instance and exposes the full automation surface through natural language commands.
Prerequisites
- A running CamoFox browser server v2.4.5 or newer (start with `npx camofox-browser@latest`)
- Node.js 18 or newer for the MCP server
- An MCP-compatible client such as Claude Desktop, VS Code, or Cursor
- Docker (optional, for containerized deployment)
Start the CamoFox browser server
The MCP server connects to a separate CamoFox browser instance. Start it first using npx. By default it listens on port 9377.
npx camofox-browser@latestVerify the browser server is running
Confirm the browser server is healthy before connecting the MCP server.
curl -fsS http://localhost:9377/healthConfigure the MCP server for stdio transport
Add the CamoFox MCP server to your Claude Desktop configuration using npx with the CAMOFOX_URL pointing to your browser server.
Or run with Docker for HTTP transport
For production or remote deployments, run both the browser server and the MCP server in Docker. Set a strong API key for security when exposing over HTTP.
docker run -d -p 9377:9377 --name camofox-browser ghcr.io/redf0x1/camofox-browser:latest
docker run -p 3000:8080 --rm \
-e CAMOFOX_TRANSPORT=http \
-e CAMOFOX_HTTP_HOST=0.0.0.0 \
-e CAMOFOX_HTTP_API_KEY=replace-with-32-plus-random-chars \
-e CAMOFOX_URL=http://host.docker.internal:9377 \
ghcr.io/redf0x1/camofox-mcp:latest node dist/http.jsRestart your MCP client
Restart Claude Desktop or reload your MCP client so it connects to the CamoFox MCP server and loads all 47 browser automation tools.

- "Navigate to the login page, fill in my credentials, and submit the form"
- "Scroll down the page and extract all product prices from the table"
- "Open a new tab, go to https://news.ycombinator.com, and list the top 10 headlines"
- "Search for 'AI tools 2024' on the current page"
- "Save the current browser session cookies for later reuse"Troubleshooting CamoFox
Connection refused when MCP server tries to reach CamoFox browser
Ensure the CamoFox browser server is running before starting the MCP server. Run `curl -fsS http://localhost:9377/health` to verify. If the port differs, set CAMOFOX_URL to the correct address.
Bot detection is still triggering on target websites
Use the Profiles tools to create and configure a browser profile with realistic fingerprint settings. Avoid common automation tells like very fast mouse movements and ensure your viewport matches a common resolution (e.g., 1366x768 or 1920x1080).
HTTP transport returns 401 Unauthorized
Set the CAMOFOX_HTTP_API_KEY environment variable on the MCP server to a random string of 32+ characters. Include this key as a Bearer token in your client's Authorization header. For private local networks only, set CAMOFOX_AUTH_MODE=disabled.
