## What it is
A Chrome extension that acts as a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server, exposing your real Chrome browser—its tabs, login states, and configurations—to AI assistants like Claude for automation and content analysis. It includes 20+ tools for screenshots, network monitoring, bookmarks, and history, plus a built-in vector database for semantic search over tab content.

## Use cases
- let Claude control my Chrome browser
- automate browser tasks with an AI assistant using my existing logins
- semantically search across my open browser tabs
- take screenshots and monitor network requests via MCP
- use my daily browser instead of Playwright for AI automation
- extract and analyze page content with an LLM

## When to choose
- you want AI automation that reuses your real browser profile, cookies, and login sessions
- you need a fully local MCP server for privacy
- you want cross-tab context and semantic search over browser content

## When to avoid
- you need headless, reproducible browser automation for CI or testing—use Playwright instead
- you require a mature, stable project; this is early-stage and under intensive development
- you don't use Chrome or an MCP-compatible AI client
