Puppeteerpptr.devPuppeteer is a JavaScript library that provides a high-level API to automate Chrome or Firefox via the DevTools Protocol or WebDriver BiDi. By default it runs headless, and it can launch a browser, open new pages, navigate to URLs, set viewports, and interact with page content. It supports installing and managing browser binaries during installation (or using puppeteer-core to avoid downloading Chrome) and can be extended with an MCP server for browser automation and debugging.
