Safari MCP Server

Apple ships an MCP server inside Safari, delivered through the existing safaridriver binary rather than as a separate download. It was introduced in Safari 27 beta and Safari Technology Preview 247, and is enabled by turning on the developer feature set and allowing remote automation and external agents in Safari settings. The WebKit announcement states the server runs entirely on the local machine and makes no network calls of its own.

The server exposes 17 tools covering tab management (create_tab, list_tabs, switch_tab, close_tab), navigation (navigate_to_url, wait_for_navigation, page_info), page inspection (get_page_content, evaluate_javascript, screenshot), network inspection (list_network_requests, get_network_request), console and dialog access (browser_console_messages, browser_dialogs), DOM interaction (page_interactions), and viewport and media emulation (set_viewport_size, set_emulated_media).

Spec support is recorded as unverified. No Apple surface names an MCP specification revision: not the announcement, and not the Safari Technology Preview 247, 248 or 249 release notes. The announcement also names no transport, no license and no source repository. The install command points at a local binary, which suggests stdio, but that is inference rather than a stated fact and is not recorded here. Apple publishes no entry in the official MCP Registry.
