Koskamo

substrate-browser MCP

An open-source MCP server that acts as a headless browser for AI agents. It extracts a tiny semantic graph from web pages, reducing HTML token bloat by 95% to help local LLMs avoid hallucinating during web tasks. It provides tools for navigation, clicking, typing, and screenshotting via a compressed graph interface.
