Reflex MCP is a local MCP server that drives your own Chrome from any MCP client. It batches actions and returns compressed page views. In the July 22, 2026 agent run, individual tasks finished up to 2.2x faster end to end than Playwright MCP. Reflex never sends page content to our servers.

How does Reflex MCP compare to Playwright MCP?

In the historical June 2026 tool benchmark, Reflex used 6 calls and ~13K estimated response tokens across three mutually verified flows versus 14 calls and ~56K for Playwright MCP, with 5 of 6 flows completed versus 3; some failures came from the benchmark runner. Tokens were estimated from characters. Current Playwright MCP supports form and script batching, and can return snapshot file links. Compare the dated results and workflow choices before choosing a tool.

Historical June 2026 tool runs and page-reader sizes. Token estimates use characters divided by four. Some failed flows were benchmark-runner errors. See every number and how to reproduce it.

Page-reader rows compare full accessibility snapshots with Reflex views. Current Playwright MCP action responses can return short summaries and snapshot file links. These historical sizes do not describe every current tool call. The October 5, 2026 scripted comparison includes standard, batched, and tuned Playwright workflows on the benchmarks page.

Can I run multiple browsers in parallel?

Yes. Pass a session name on any Reflex tool call and it spins up a separate, isolated Chrome on demand, free. One agent can research ten sites at once; subagents can each drive their own browser. A shared Playwright MCP connection uses one browser; separate instances can also isolate parallel work. Reflex is the browser automation MCP built for parallel work from Claude Desktop, Cursor, and other MCP clients.

Historical calls and estimated reply tokens from 2026-06-12. Token estimates are reply characters divided by four, excluding inputs, tool schemas, and model reasoning. Responses and timing are illustrated, not recorded payloads or a live benchmark. Across all three verified flows: 6 calls / ~13K tokens vs 14 calls / ~56K tokens (~2 calls per flow with Reflex).

    Ask in plain English

    Reflex batches the whole flow into one call and reports back what changed, not the whole page.

Agent-native

Built for agents, not just browsers.

Failures you can act on
When a step misses, Reflex sends back the closest matches, the console errors, and a screenshot, so your agent fixes it on the next try instead of guessing.
Checks built into the action
Reflex verifies the result inside the same call, so a task clearly succeeds or fails without an extra round trip to confirm.
0-token replay
Save a task and re-run it anytime with no AI and no tokens. It repairs itself when the page changes.

Privacy

Your pages never leave your machine.

Reflex runs entirely on your computer: the MCP server, the browser, your logins, every page you visit. The only things that ever cross the network are your API key and a count of tool calls, so we can meter credits. We could not read your pages, sessions, or passwords if we wanted to; the architecture has no path for them.

Compare that to cloud browser products, where every page you visit renders on someone else's server.

FAQ

Questions, answered straight.

Everything runs locally: the MCP server, your Chrome, your logins, the pages. The only data that reaches our servers is your email (for your account), your API key, and a counter of tool calls for credit metering. Page content, URLs you visit, credentials, and session cookies never leave your machine; there is no code path that could send them. Payments are handled by Paddle, our merchant of record; we never see card numbers. Our privacy policy is short because there is almost nothing to disclose.
