Bridge your browser to Claude Code: 60 token-efficient web-dev automation tools over a local WebSocket. ChromeOS included. Chrome Bridge lets Claude Code — Anthropic's CLI coding agent — borrow a tab of the Chrome you are already using, signed in, and hand it back. No headless instance, no debugging port, no cloud service: a local WebSocket (localhost:8765) bridges the Claude Code MCP server on your machine to this extension. What only you can do — a login, a 2FA code, a CAPTCHA, a choice — comes back to you as a banner in the page (the handoff tool): you act, the agent continues. It never types your credentials.
Built to be token-efficient: the agent acts on compact element references instead of screenshots, tables are filtered and paginated server-side before they reach the model, and every output is capped — so complex sessions cost far fewer tokens.
60 specialized web-development tools:
Cross-platform: Windows, macOS, Linux — any desktop Chrome 135+. Also the only Claude Code browser automation that works on ChromeOS (Crostini).
REQUIREMENTS
This extension is a companion to the open-source chrome-bridge MCP server and requires it to be installed and configured with Claude Code: https://github.com/frsorrentino/chrome-bridge
The execute_js tool additionally requires enabling the "Allow user scripts" toggle in the extension's details page (chrome://extensions).
PRIVACY
Everything stays on your machine. The extension talks only to localhost — no remote servers, no analytics, no data collection. Privacy policy: https://frsorrentino.github.io/chrome-bridge/privacy
