Apple released Safari Technology Preview 247, an experimental browser build for testing upcoming Safari features. This update introduces the Safari Model Context Protocol (MCP) server. This new tool allows AI agents to better emulate user experiences on websites, significantly enhancing web development and debugging workflows for developers.

The MCP server connects AI agents directly to a running Safari browser instance. This connection provides agents with real-time rendering information, offering more accurate insights than previously possible. Developers can leverage this to identify and resolve issues more efficiently, streamlining the development process for web applications and sites.

Beyond the MCP server, Safari Technology Preview 247 incorporates numerous bug fixes and updates across various web technologies. These include improvements to Accessibility, CSS, HTML, JavaScript, and Rendering, among others. The experimental browser, available for download alongside the stable Safari version, continues Apple's practice of soliciting developer feedback.
