Install Chrome Bridge in Claude Code, Cursor or VS Code

Runs npx -y chrome-bridge-mcp on your machine. Read the scan report first; the gateway never runs local packages.

claude mcp add chrome-bridge -- npx -y chrome-bridge-mcp

Chrome Bridge

An MCP server that gives Claude Code your real, logged-in Chrome — measured 2.75× fewer turns and 2.28× lower cost than the official "Claude in Chrome" extension on a form-filling task, with ~3× the toolset and no paid plan.

59 web-development tools (navigation, DOM inspection, visual regression, audits, network mocking) over a local WebSocket bridge, plus a headless instance for CI. Self-hosted, local-only.

Quickstart

Requires Node.js 18+ and Chrome 135+.

git clone git@github.com:frsorrentino/chrome-bridge.git
cd chrome-bridge && ./install.sh

unpacked**, select the extension/ folder.

Open chrome://extensions, enable Developer mode, click **Load

Restart Claude Code.

Then ask for something like "open localhost:3000, run an accessibility audit and find the Sign Up button": Claude Code calls navigate, audit and find_text. Because navigate already returns element refs, click(ref="n1") follows with no discovery turn in between.

On ChromeOS/Crostini install from the [Chrome Web

Store](https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/chrome-bridge-for-claude/bioknpaeahidbelaljjohjofiloeodmb)

instead: an unpacked extension is dropped on every reboot, because the

container isn't mounted when Chrome starts.

install.sh registers the MCP server with --scope user. To do it by hand: claude mcp add --scope user chrome-bridge node /path/to/server/index.js. For executejs, enable Allow user scripts** in chrome://extensions → Chrome Bridge → Details (on Chrome 135-137, enable Developer Mode instead).

As a plugin, without a clone: in Claude Code, /plugin marketplace add frsorrentino/chrome-bridge then /plugin install chrome-bridge@chrome-bridge registers the MCP server from npm (all capabilities) together with the recipes skill; clients that read Agent Plugins 1.0 get the same from plugin.json + mcp.json. The extension still comes from the Web Store or extension/. Pick one path: the plugin and install.sh would register the same server twice.

Why Chrome Bridge?

Codex for Chrome (OpenAI, May 2026) sits in the Claude in Chrome column: an official extension with the debugger permission, macOS and Windows only, the ChatGPT app required. Claude in Chrome documents Linux desktop since September 2026; ChromeOS and WSL stay out. Competitor figures measured on 2026-09-01 and 2026-09-11 (docs/analisi-2026-09-11-concorrenti.md).

Shortened. The full README is on GitHub.
