Installation

Installing via Smithery

To install Cloudflare Browser Rendering for Claude Desktop automatically via Smithery:

npx -y @smithery/cli install @amotivv/cloudflare-browser-rendering-mcp --client claude

1. Clone this repository:

   git clone https://github.com/yourusername/cloudflare-browser-rendering.git

   cd cloudflare-browser-rendering

   

2. Install dependencies:

   npm install

   

3. Build the project:

   npm run build

   

Cloudflare Worker Setup

1. Deploy the puppeteer-worker.js file to Cloudflare Workers using Wrangler:

   npx wrangler deploy

   

2. Make sure to configure the following bindings in your Cloudflare Worker:
- Browser Rendering binding named browser
- KV namespace binding named SCREENSHOTS

3. Note the URL of your deployed worker (e.g., https://browser-rendering-api.yourusername.workers.dev)

Configuration

For Claude Desktop

1. Open the Claude Desktop configuration file:

   # macOS

   code ~/Library/Application\ Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json

   

   # Windows

   code %APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json

   

2. Add the MCP server configuration:

   {

     "mcpServers": {

       "cloudflare-browser-rendering": {

         "command": "node",

         "args": ["/path/to/cloudflare-browser-rendering/dist/index.js"],

         "env": {

           "BROWSER_RENDERING_API": "https://your-worker-url.workers.dev"

         },

         "disabled": false,

         "autoApprove": []

       }

     }

   }

   

3. Restart Claude Desktop

For Cline

1. Open the Cline MCP settings file:

   # macOS

   code ~/Library/Application\ Support/Code/User/globalStorage/saoudrizwan.claude-dev/settings/cline_mcp_settings.json

   

   # Windows

   code %APPDATA%\Code\User\globalStorage\saoudrizwan.claude-dev\settings\cline_mcp_settings.json

   

2. Add the MCP server configuration:

   {

     "mcpServers": {

       "cloudflare-browser-rendering": {

         "command": "node",

         "args": ["/path/to/cloudflare-browser-rendering/dist/index.js"],

         "env": {

           "BROWSER_RENDERING_API": "https://your-worker-url.workers.dev"

         },

         "disabled": false,

         "autoApprove": []

       }

     }

   }

search_documentation

Searches Cloudflare documentation and returns relevant content.

Parameters:
- query (required): Search query
- maxResults (optional): Maximum number of results to return

Example:

Search the Cloudflare documentation for information about "browser rendering API".

extract_structured_content

Extracts structured content from a web page using CSS selectors.

Parameters:
- url (required): URL to extract content from
- selectors (required): CSS selectors to extract content

Example:

Extract the main heading and first paragraph from https://developers.cloudflare.com/browser-rendering/ using the selectors h1 and p.

summarize_content

Summarizes web content for more concise LLM context.

Parameters:
- url (required): URL to summarize
- maxLength (optional): Maximum length of the summary

Example:

Summarize the content from https://developers.cloudflare.com/browser-rendering/ in 300 words or less.

take_screenshot

Troubleshooting

Logging

The MCP server uses comprehensive logging with the following prefixes:

- [Setup]: Initialization and configuration
- [API]: API requests and responses
- [Error]: Error handling and debugging

To view logs:

- Claude Desktop: Check the logs in ~/Library/Logs/Claude/mcp.log (macOS) or %APPDATA%\Claude\Logs\mcp.log (Windows)
- Cline: Logs appear in the output console of the VSCode extension

Common Issues

1. "BROWSER_RENDERING_API environment variable is not set"
- Make sure you've set the correct URL to your Cloudflare Worker in the MCP server configuration

2. "Cloudflare worker API is unavailable or not configured"
- Verify that your Cloudflare Worker is deployed and running
- Check that the URL is correct and accessible

3. "Browser binding is not available"
- Ensure that you've configured the Browser Rendering binding in your Cloudflare Worker

4. "SCREENSHOTS KV binding is not available"
- Ensure that you've configured the KV namespace binding in your Cloudflare Worker

Testing

The project includes a comprehensive test script that verifies all MCP tools are working correctly:

npm test

This will:
1. Start the MCP server
2. Test each tool with sample requests
3. Verify the responses
4. Provide a summary of test results

You can also run individual tests for specific components:

```bash
