Browser Agent

runbook-ai/runbook-ai-mcp

Connects Claude to a live Chrome browser session through a WebSocket bridge and extension. Instead of dumping the entire DOM into context after every action, it sends a stripped down HTML snapshot that keeps text and interactive elements but drops the bloat. You install the extension, point it at an LLM (they recommend Gemini Flash), and invoke the browser-agent tool with a natural language prompt like "search for MCP protocol on Google." Good fallback when a site doesn't have a dedicated MCP server. Runs locally in your browser, no remote calls except to your LLM provider. The extension listens on port 9003 and executes whatever automation task you throw at it.

Runbook AI MCP Server

An MCP (Model Context Protocol) server that provides browser automation capabilities through a Chrome extension. It allows terminal-based agents like Claude Code to interact with any website through your live browser session.

Why Runbook AI?

Most browser-based MCP tools (like chrome-devtools-mcp) blow up your LLM context window by sending the entire DOM after every browser action.

Runbook AI is different:
