The Figranium MCP Server is a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server for Figranium built using the official @modelcontextprotocol/sdk. This integration allows LLM clients—such as Claude Desktop, Cursor, and Manus AI—to seamlessly discover, execute, inspect, schedule, and programmatically construct Figranium browser automation tasks via standard STDIO transport. With this server, your AI assistant or agent can autonomously navigate the web, scrape structured data, handle multi-step workflows, and manage automated schedules directly using Figranium.

Quick Start (NPM / NPX)

The recommended way to run the Figranium MCP server is via npx from npm. This lets you launch the official package directly without cloning the repository.
If you prefer containerized deployment, you can also use the official OCI image from GitHub Container Registry:

Client Integration

Claude Desktop

To connect Claude Desktop to your Figranium MCP server, update your client configuration file:
  • macOS: ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json
  • Windows: %APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json
Add the following configuration block under mcpServers:
Note for Local Hosts: If you run the server from within Docker, use http://host.docker.internal:11345 so the container can route traffic back to your host system. For local npx execution, use http://localhost:11345.

Cursor IDE

You can easily integrate Figranium into your Cursor environment as an MCP server:
  1. Navigate to Settings > Features > MCP.
  2. Click Add New MCP Server.
  3. Configure the following parameters:
    • Name: figranium
    • Type: command
    • Command: npx -y figranium-mcp
    • Environment Variables:
      • FIGRANIUM_BASE_URL=http://localhost:11345
      • FIGRANIUM_API_KEY=[your_figranium_api_key_here]
Note for Local Hosts: Use http://localhost:11345 when running the MCP server locally via npx. If you choose to run the MCP server inside Docker instead, swap the base URL to http://host.docker.internal:11345.

Manus AI / Registry Clients

For platforms and clients that support automatic registry resolution, you can configure and register the MCP server using its official registry namespace:
This namespace points to the official GHCR OCI identifier which compatible clients resolve and download automatically.

Environment Variables

The Figranium MCP server expects the following environment variables:

Server-Wide System Instructions

The server initializes and communicates a predefined set of instructions directly to the connected LLM client. These instructions govern how the agent interacts with Figranium throughout a task’s lifecycle:

1. Task Creation and Execution Environments

  • Task Modes: Fast, non-interactive tasks should use the scrape mode. Detailed, interactive, multi-step tasks requiring complex mouse and keyboard simulation should use the agent mode.
  • Headful Execution: For debugging or executing tasks that require a visible environment, headful execution is supported to let you visually inspect interactions in real-time.
  • Stealth Configurations: Anti-bot stealth mechanisms can be toggled inside the stealth configuration block. These simulate organic mouse curves, natural delays, randomized click offsets, and other human-like interactions.

2. Step Sequence Construction (Actions)

  • Automation workflows are organized sequentially in the actions array.
  • Supported actions include navigation (navigate), waits (wait, wait_selector, wait_downloads), interactions (click, type, hover, press, scroll), custom scripts (javascript), and control flow (if, else, end, while, repeat, foreach).
  • Always insert a wait_selector step before performing any interactive actions (e.g. click or type) to ensure the target element is loaded in the DOM.

3. Target Selector Strategy

  • Prefer highly robust and resilient selector targets: IDs (e.g., #[your-css-selector]), semantic class names, ARIA roles, or reliable text matches.
  • Avoid fragile, heavily nested structural paths (e.g. div > div > span > button) that are prone to breakage.
  • When targeting elements inside the Shadow DOM, set the includeShadowDom property to true.

4. Variables and Execution Context

  • Declare dynamic values and intermediate data inside the task’s variables object.
  • Initiate runs via the task_execute tool, and pass variable overrides to change defaults dynamically during execution.

Available Resources

figranium://schemas/task-v1.json

  • MIME Type: application/json
  • Description: Exposes the complete JSON Schema definition for a Figranium task. Connected agents read this resource to understand valid action steps, nested attributes, and execution parameters.

Available Tools

The MCP server exposes rich tools mapped to Figranium’s REST API.

Task Operations

  • create_task
    • Creates a completely configured Figranium task.
    • Parameters: Name, starting URL, execution mode (scrape or agent), stealth settings, actions array, variables list, and scheduling details.
  • task_list
    • Fetches all task IDs, names, and descriptions registered on the server.
  • task_execute
    • Triggers the execution of a task by ID. Supports runtime variable overrides.

Execution Operations

  • execution_list
    • Retrieves a summary of previous task execution logs, run durations, and final statuses.

Schedule Operations

  • schedule_list
    • Lists all task IDs with active, configured schedules.
  • schedule_get_all_status
    • Returns the overall status of the scheduler engine.
  • schedule_get_status
    • Fetches the active schedule rules and next calculated run time for a given taskId.
  • schedule_set
    • Registers or updates a task schedule using either a structured Frequency format or standard Cron expressions.
  • schedule_delete
    • Disables and removes scheduling rules from a task.
  • schedule_describe
    • Validates and previews schedule execution intervals and next run times without committing changes.

Rich Input Diagnostics & Self-Correction

When an LLM client calls create_task with malformed arguments, the Figranium MCP server returns structured, highly descriptive Zod validation errors, setting isError: true. This structured output allows advanced LLMs to pinpoint schema mismatches and perform immediate, automatic self-correction. For example, if an agent provides a typo in an action step’s type field, the server returns:
Using this feedback, the LLM corrects 'clikc' to 'click' and retries the command autonomously.

Local Development & Source Build

To build the Figranium MCP server locally from source:
