How to Set Up and Use Camofox Browser
Camofox Browser MCP Server is an anti-detection browser automation platform for AI agents built on the Camoufox engine, which provides C++ engine-level fingerprint spoofing to evade bot detection systems. It exposes a REST API with 50+ endpoints and a CLI with 50+ commands, supports OpenClaw plugin compatibility, persistent per-user Firefox profiles, geo presets, proxy configuration, and structured JSON data extraction via accessibility snapshots. Developers and AI agents use it to automate web tasks — scraping, form filling, login flows — without triggering bot-detection defenses.
Prerequisites
- Node.js 20+ installed
- 2 GB RAM minimum (more recommended for concurrent sessions)
- Linux recommended for production deployments; macOS acceptable for development
- An MCP-compatible client such as Claude Desktop
- Docker if using the containerized deployment option
Clone and install the server
Clone the repository, install dependencies, build the TypeScript source, and start the server locally.
git clone https://github.com/redf0x1/camofox-browser.git
cd camofox-browser

docker run -p 9377:9377 \
-e CAMOFOX_HOST=0.0.0.0 \
-e CAMOFOX_API_KEY=your-secret-key \
camofox-browserSet environment variables
Configure the server using environment variables. The most important are CAMOFOX_API_KEY for authentication and CAMOFOX_PORT if you need a non-default port.
export CAMOFOX_PORT=9377
export CAMOFOX_HOST=127.0.0.1
export CAMOFOX_API_KEY=your-secret-key
export CAMOFOX_HEADLESS=true
export CAMOFOX_MAX_SESSIONS=50Verify the server is running
Check that the REST API is accessible on the configured port before connecting your MCP client.
curl http://localhost:9377/healthConfigure Claude Desktop
Add the Camofox MCP companion to your Claude Desktop configuration. The MCP server connects to the running Camofox REST API.

Example prompts to use Camofox browser automation through Claude.
- "Open https://example.com using Camofox, take a snapshot of the page, and list all clickable links."
- "Navigate to a search page, enter 'MCP protocol' in the search field, and extract the first five results."
- "Use Camofox with the EU geo preset to browse a site and extract structured product data as JSON."Troubleshooting Camofox Browser
401 Unauthorized errors from the REST API
Ensure CAMOFOX_API_KEY is set to the same value in both the server environment and the Authorization: Bearer header in requests. If CAMOFOX_AUTH_MODE is 'disabled', no key is needed.
Browser sessions fail to launch
Check that CAMOFOX_HEADLESS is set correctly. On headless servers, set it to 'true' or 'virtual'. If using Docker, ensure CAMOFOX_HOST is set to 0.0.0.0 so the API is reachable from outside the container.
CAMOFOX_MAX_SESSIONS limit reached
Increase CAMOFOX_MAX_SESSIONS in your environment variables, or close idle sessions by calling the DELETE /sessions/{id} endpoint. Ensure your server has sufficient RAM for the number of concurrent sessions.
