About hwatu

hwatu is an MCP server published by the GitHub account hongnoul. Verification browser for coding agents: headless WebKit, DOM eval, screenshots, pixel-diff.

It asks for no keys or passwords.

Version 0.6.0 was published on 25 July 2026, and the source code is public, so you can read it before installing.
