Apple's WebKit team has introduced the Safari MCP server in Safari Technology Preview 247, a Model Context Protocol server that connects AI coding agents directly to a Safari browser window. This allows agents to autonomously inspect the DOM, capture screenshots, read console logs, monitor network requests, and interact with pages — eliminating the repetitive browser-prompt-agent debugging loop. The server exposes 17 tools covering navigation, JavaScript evaluation, tab management, viewport control, and accessibility checks. It runs entirely locally with no network calls and no access to personal Safari data. Setup requires Safari Technology Preview and a single terminal command for Claude, Codex, or any MCP-compatible client.
