chrome-agent-mcp

Full Chrome control for AI agents via the Model Context Protocol

npm License: MIT Node.js

Give Claude (or any MCP client) full control over your browser: navigate pages, click elements, fill forms, inspect DevTools — with parallel tab execution, session isolation per agent, and a real-time dashboard.

What it does

Each Claude session gets its own Chrome tab group — so multiple agents can run in parallel without stepping on each other. A companion Chrome extension shows a live dashboard: active tabs, event log, and screenshots in real time.

Claude session A  →  tab group "Pinguim"  (blue)
Claude session B  →  tab group "Fenix"   (red)
Claude session C  →  tab group "Girafa"  (yellow)

Every tool call is wrapped with resilient execution:

  • 20 s primary timeout

  • 2× parallel retries on timeout (10 s each)

  • Automatic fallback to a new Chrome group if all retries fail

Related MCP server: agent-browser-mcp

Requirements

  • Node.js ≥ 18

  • Google Chrome with remote debugging enabled

Installation

1. Enable Chrome remote debugging

google-chrome --remote-debugging-port=9222

To make it permanent, add the flag to your Chrome launcher or .desktop file.

2. Install the MCP server

# Run directly (no install)
npx chrome-agent-mcp

# Or install globally
npm install -g chrome-agent-mcp

3. Configure your MCP client

Claude Desktop (~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "chrome-agent-mcp": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["chrome-agent-mcp"],
      "env": { "CHROME_DEBUG_PORT": "9222" }
    }
  }
}

Claude Code (.claude/settings.json):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "chrome-agent-mcp": {
      "command": "node",
      "args": ["/path/to/chrome-agent-mcp/dist/index.js"],
      "env": { "CHROME_DEBUG_PORT": "9222" }
    }
  }
}

4. Install the companion extension (optional but recommended)

  1. Open chrome://extensions/

  2. Enable Developer mode

  3. Click Load unpacked → select the extension/ folder

The extension adds a popup dashboard showing which tabs are active, what the agent is doing, and captured screenshots — all updating in real time.
