About periscope

periscope is an MCP server published by the GitHub account oskar-szulc. A real Safari-engine (WebKit) browser for agents on macOS: sessions, extraction, bot checks.

It runs on your own machine: your AI client starts it from the MCP bundle package periscope-0.2.5.mcpb, with no version pinned.

It asks for no keys or passwords.

Version 0.2.5 was published on 1 October 2026, and the source code is public, so you can read it before installing.

Written from the registry entry. 8 automated checks on the registry entry and the package code: 5 pass, 1 warn, 0 fail, 2 info. How we check.

What it asks for
