Ghostlight MCP

Give your agent a visible place in the browser you already use.

A launch brief moves from empty form to ready for review, in full view.

Install Ghostlight | See where it fits | Installation guide | Trust Center

Your agent needs a page you are signed in to. The usual answer is a second, empty browser that knows none of your sessions, driven by a model that has to learn Chrome internals to get anything done.

Ghostlight gives it a tab group inside the Chromium you already have open. The work happens in front of you: watch it, pause it, take the wheel, or end the session. The model says what it wants, and Ghostlight does the browser part.

Ask an agent to read a page, complete a form, handle a file, follow a popup, or investigate a failed web workflow. Ghostlight carries the task across tabs and browser changes while keeping the browser work and its controls on your machine.

A light left burning, so the halls stay safe.

Where it stands today

The published release is 1.3. It is available as the GitHub release v1.3.6, the npm package ghostlight@1.3.6, the Chrome Web Store adapter v1.1.4, and the MCP Registry record org.sylin/ghostlight 1.3.6, all observed on 2026-09-12 and recorded in docs/public-status.json.

What you get

semantic clicks and hovers, form input, file upload, scripts, waits, short sequences, and dialogs, plus one policy tool that explains the authority in force. One call carries the intent; Ghostlight performs the browser steps behind it.

  • 23 catalog tools: 22 browser tools covering tabs, navigation, reading a page, screenshots,

whether running it again is safe. Ghostlight writes that answer, never the page, and adds at most two recovery steps of its own. When an effect is uncertain it says so rather than guessing, and never proposes a replay that could submit a form twice.

  • One truthful answer per call: what happened, what changed in the browser, what is ready, and

IPC, and keeps a payload-free local record. No account, no telemetry, no activation service, no update ping, no hosted control plane, and no second hidden browser. The only network traffic is the browsing you asked for.

  • A desktop workbench in the tray that shows work as it happens.
  • Your machine, and only your machine. Ghostlight runs as you, reaches your browser over local
