## Description

A browser automation MCP server that provides programmatic control over web browsers through Chrome DevTools Protocol (CDP). The implementation creates a relay server that bridges between browser extensions and AI assistants, enabling actions like navigation, element interaction, form filling, screenshot capture, and JavaScript evaluation. It includes a custom DOM snapshot system that generates AI-friendly representations of web pages with element references for precise targeting, supports named page management for organizing multiple browser tabs, and handles both CSS selectors and snapshot references for element interaction. Designed for web automation workflows, testing scenarios, and AI-driven browser interactions where traditional headless browser solutions may be insufficient.
