Setting up with Highlight
This MCP is not yet compatible with Highlight’s one-click setup. However, you can still use it with Highlight by following these steps:
- Download and install Highlight from highlightai.com/download
- Navigate to the plugins tab and select "Add Custom Plugin"
-
Configure the plugin with the settings below
Plugin Name
MCPMonkeyCommand (node, npx, python, etc.)Please refer to the README for specific instructions on how to obtain API keys or other required environment variables.
- Enable "Start Automatically" if you want the plugin to start when Highlight launches
From the repository
Install two components: the MCP server and the browser extension. In Cursor, add the MCP server via Settings > Features > MCP Servers with the command npx mcpmonkey-server. Install the browser extension by building from source and loading it as a temporary add-on in Firefox (.xpi files are planned).
Claude Desktop / Cursor
Paste into your MCP client config file to install this server.

MCPMonkey is a fork of Violentmonkey, extending its powerful userscript capabilities to support Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers. This project aims to bridge the gap between AI language models and browser interactions.
About MCPMonkey
MCPMonkey enhances the browser extension capabilities of Violentmonkey to provide a user-friendly interface for managing and using Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers. This allows AI language models like those used in Cursor to interact with your browser in meaningful ways.
Current Features
MCPMonkey currently implements these key features:
- Tab Management (browserAction Tool):
- Get information about all open tabs
- Create new tabs
- Close tabs
- Activate (focus) tabs
- Duplicate tabs
- Page Style Extraction (getPageStyles Tool):
- Extract styling information from web pages for AI analysis
- Returns structured JSON data about styles
- Includes global styles, computed styles, color schemes, typography
- User Script Support: Full compatibility with existing userscripts (inherited from Violentmonkey)
Planned Features
The following features are planned for future development:
- MCP Server Management: Install and manage multiple MCP servers directly from your browser
- Enhanced Browser Access: Allow AI tools to interact with:
- Browsing history
- Bookmarks
- Dev console logs
- Other installed extensions
- Permissions Control: Fine-grained control over what resources each MCP server can access
- Community Hub: Share and discover MCP servers and scripts
