Safari MCP Server is Apple's WebKit MCP server for connecting compatible coding agents to a live Safari Technology Preview window. It runs locally through Safari Technology Preview's safaridriver with the --mcp flag, so an MCP-aware agent can inspect browser state that would otherwise have to be described manually in a prompt or screenshot.
The official WebKit launch describes browser-context tools for page content, DOM-oriented interactions, console messages, network request details, screenshots, JavaScript evaluation, tab management, navigation, viewport size, CSS media emulation, dialogs, accessibility signals, and performance-oriented debugging. That makes the tool most useful when a team needs an agent to reason about real Safari rendering, WebKit compatibility, logged-in app state, layout regressions, or browser-specific front-end behavior.
Treat Safari MCP Server as a developer-preview workflow rather than a production browser-automation cloud. WebKit says the server makes no network calls of its own and does not expose Safari personal information such as AutoFill or unrelated browser activity, but captured page data is still handed to the local agent and then follows that agent or model provider's security boundary. Keep access limited to trusted local agents and avoid mixing the official Apple/WebKit workflow with older community Safari MCP packages.
