cBrowse

cBrowse is a hosted browser bridge for AI agents.

It gives an agent one dedicated browser tab, exposes browser actions over MCP, and ships a Chrome extension plus a hosted setup page so users do not need to run a local relay manually.

• A Chrome extension for page inspection and browser control.
• A local WebSocket bridge and hosted HTTP MCP server.
• A browser-specific pairing flow so each client targets its own browser route.
• A hosted landing page, llms.txt, and a raw Codex skill.
• Deployment scripts for a small DigitalOcean Droplet.

1. The user loads the cBrowse extension in Chrome.
2. The extension connects to the bridge and gets a browser-specific MCP route.
3. The agent connects to that MCP route.
4. The agent claims one dedicated tab and performs browser actions through MCP.

npm install

npm run build
npm run dev:relay

In another shell:

npm run dev:mcp:http

For local development, load the repo root in Chrome as an unpacked extension:

• /Users/cozy/Documents/cBrowse

For a packaged release, cBrowse builds from the standalone extension under:

• extension/

Open the extension popup, copy the browser-specific MCP URL, and add it to your client.

For Codex:

codex mcp add cbrowse --url https://your-domain.example/mcp/<browser-key>

If your client supports a raw skill file, point it at:

https://your-domain.example/cbrowse-skill.md

• npm run check
• npm run build
• npm run dev:relay
• npm run dev:mcp:stdio
• npm run dev:mcp:http
• npm run install:codex-skill
• npm run build:extension
• npm run release:local

cBrowse can produce both a distributable .zip and a signed .crx.
