Bladebro: A Rust-based MCP server solving token waste and React re-render issues for agents

The author open-sourced Bladebro, a Rust-based MCP server designed to solve the problems of excessive token consumption and easy bot detection when AI agents browse the web.
Core Optimizations:
- Minimal tool definitions: Provides only 5 tools (1,900 tokens) compared to Playwright MCP's 13,700 tokens, drastically reducing cost per call.
- Delta-first, not snapshot: Maintains a persistent Live Page Model. Actions return only what changed (delta) instead of full page snapshots, reducing long-session costs by 5x.
- Re-render immunity: Generates structural fingerprints for DOM elements. When React/Vue destroys and recreates nodes during re-renders, refs survive if the structure remains intact, saving agents from recapturing.
- Persistent learning & stealth: Auto-learns consent dialog selectors; generates and reuses biometric mouse trajectories and click patterns. Ships with a 6-layer stealth system enabled by default.
