README

MCP server for Rove — a hosted Playwright API for AI agents.

Returns accessibility trees instead of screenshots, reducing LLM token consumption by ~77% (26K tokens vs 114K for a typical page).

Quick Start

npx -y @roveapi/mcp

Set your API key via environment variable:

ROVE_API_KEY=rvp_live_... npx -y @roveapi/mcp

Install in Claude Code

claude mcp add --scope user rove -e ROVE_API_KEY=rvp_live_YOUR_KEY -- npx -y @roveapi/mcp

Install in Claude Desktop

Add to claude_desktop_config.json:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "rove": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@roveapi/mcp"],
      "env": {
        "ROVE_API_KEY": "rvp_live_YOUR_KEY"
      }
    }
  }
}

Why Accessibility Trees?

Traditional browser automation returns screenshots that cost ~114K tokens per page. Rove returns structured accessibility trees at ~26K tokens — 77% fewer tokens, faster responses, and better structured data for LLMs to reason over.
