Our reading of pline.ai, from the data

pline.ai is a browser automation MCP server from grepsr, listed in the official MCP Registry.

We haven't measured its tool list yet, so its token cost is unknown.

Maintenance is active: the last public signal was 4 days ago (2026-10-14). For comparison, 67% of browser automation servers are active or maintained.

With 1 GitHub stars it ranks #452 of 1,199 browser automation servers we index.

It runs locally on your machine over stdio and needs one secret (PLINE_API_KEY); use a scoped, least-privilege key.
