I think I know of some of the other MCP posts you’re referring to. I saw multiple posts recently about AI controlling browsers using MCP and thought that was interesting. I’m not sure if it will be a fad or not, but I’ve been trying to model browsers as an HTTP resource instead as a side project. This allows you to HTTP DELETE a tab or POST /browsers to create a new browser. I think it might be a more natural way of using an API plus it can just use the classic auth in the form of API keys.

relevant: TabFS <https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=34847611> <https://github.com/osnr/TabFS> (MIT) and <https://github.com/balta2ar/brotab> (MIT) also showed up while I was trying to remember the name of TabFS

In case you haven't seen it, the MCP repo actually has Puppeteer as one of their example servers: https://github.com/modelcontextprotocol/servers/tree/2025.3....

Thank you! I had seen TabFS before, but the others are new to me. Will take a look! It's nice to see demand for this.
