Frigade

Overview

Frigade is an innovative tool that reverse-engineers web apps into agent tools via a browser-based agent. The agent automatically analyzes web applications and turns them into MCP server tools that self-update as the underlying web apps change. This eliminates the manual work of maintaining MCP tool definitions for frequently changing web interfaces.

Features

• Automatic web app analysis: Browser agent analyzes web applications to understand their capabilities
• Self-updating MCP server: Tool definitions automatically update when web apps change
• No manual maintenance: Eliminates the need to manually update tool definitions
• MCP-native: Generates standard MCP server definitions
• Browser-based: Uses browser automation to interact with and analyze web apps

Installation

npm install -g frigade

Configuration

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "frigade": {
      "command": "frigade",
      "args": ["server"]
    }
  }
}

Available Tools

Tool	Description
analyze_app	Analyze a web app and generate MCP tools
generate_server	Create an MCP server from analyzed web app
