What's Good
MIT now (feder-cr/invisible_playwright_mcp; pre-2026-09-02 dists were AGPL). Free via `uvx` and Claude/Codex/Gemini plugins. MCP-first stealth Firefox layer when official Playwright MCP’s Chromium path gets blocked.
The Catch
Vs official Playwright MCP: plain Chromium control — this is stealth Firefox. Vs Browser Use / Steel / Cua: those are agent frameworks or browser APIs; this is the MCP-first stealth layer. Anti-detect purpose → site ToS / abuse risk even though the license is clean.
Verdict
MIT stealth Firefox MCP when plain Playwright MCP dies on anti-bot — only with explicit ToS/abuse judgment, not as default browser MCP.
