Browser MCP by Agent360

Control your real Chrome from Claude Code — with your logins, cookies, and 2FA.

The only browser MCP with multi-session support (10 concurrent AI sessions), human-in-the-loop (2FA, CAPTCHA, credentials), and built-in provider integrations (Stripe, HubSpot, Slack, and 6 more). 29 tools total.

Install

npx @agent360/browser-mcp install

This copies the Chrome extension to ~/.browser-mcp/extension/ and configures Claude Code automatically.

Then load the extension in Chrome:

1. Open chrome://extensions
2. Enable Developer mode (top right)
3. Click Load unpacked → select ~/.browser-mcp/extension/
4. Restart Claude Code

That's it. 29 browser tools are now available in Claude Code.

Multi-Session Support

Each Claude Code conversation gets its own MCP server on a unique port (9876-9885). The Chrome extension connects to all active servers simultaneously.

Claude Session 1 ←(stdio)→ MCP :9876 ←(WS)→
Claude Session 2 ←(stdio)→ MCP :9877 ←(WS)→  Chrome Extension → Browser
Claude Session 3 ←(stdio)→ MCP :9878 ←(WS)→

• Session isolation — each session gets a color-coded Chrome Tab Group
• Tab ownership — sessions can only see and control their own tabs
• Auto-cleanup — processes exit when Claude Code closes the conversation

Built-in Provider Integrations

browser_extract_token navigates to the provider's API settings page and guides token extraction:

Provider	Token Format	Dashboard
Stripe	sk_test_... / sk_live_...	stripe.com/apikeys
HubSpot	pat-...	app.hubspot.com
Slack	xoxb-...	api.slack.com/apps
Shopify	Admin API token	admin.shopify.com
Pipedrive	UUID	app.pipedrive.com
Calendly	JWT	calendly.com
Mailchimp	...-us1	admin.mailchimp.com
Google	OAuth Client	console.cloud.google.com
LinkedIn	Client ID/Secret	linkedin.com/developers

Architecture

extension/
  manifest.json       # Manifest V3
  background.js       # Service worker — Chrome API dispatcher, session tab groups
  offscreen.js        # Persistent WebSocket bridge (multi-port scanning)
  popup.html/js       # Status UI — sessions, tabs, action log

mcp-server/
  index.js            # MCP server (stdio) + WebSocket client
  tools.js            # 29 tool definitions
  bin/cli.js          # Install CLI

How It Works

1. Claude Code starts → spawns MCP server via stdio
2. MCP server binds to first available port (9876-9885)
3. Extension's offscreen document scans ports every 2s
4. WebSocket connection established
5. Commands flow: Claude Code → MCP → Extension → Chrome APIs
6. Process auto-exits when Claude Code closes (stdin detection)

Auto-Updates

The MCP server runs via npx @agent360/browser-mcp@latest — always the latest version from npm. No manual git pulls needed.

To update the extension: npx @agent360/browser-mcp install (re-copies files), then reload in chrome://extensions.

Troubleshooting

"Chrome extension not connected"

• Check extension is loaded in chrome://extensions
• Click the extension popup → "Reconnect"
• Wait 2-3 seconds for port scan

Screenshot fails

• Uses Chrome Debugger API (works even when tab isn't focused)
• Falls back to captureVisibleTab if debugger unavailable

Click doesn't work on SPA

• Try text selector: browser_click("text=Submit")
• Uses real mouse events via Chrome Debugger API automatically

Stale processes

• Processes auto-exit when Claude Code closes (stdin detection)
• Idle timeout: 4 hours without commands → auto-exit
• Manual cleanup: lsof -i :9876-9885 | grep LISTEN
