Chrome MCP

Let Claude use the Chrome you are already logged into. Not a fresh automated browser that greets every site as a stranger - your Chrome, with your sessions, your cookies, your 2FA already done. If you can see a page in your browser, your agent can read it, without logging in again and without pasting credentials anywhere. It runs locally over stdio via the published package.

People who work with browser automation and chrome and want it reachable from Claude, Cursor, VS Code, or another MCP client. The project is written in TypeScript.

Set CHROME_MCP_TELEMETRY, DO_NOT_TRACK, RUN_EXT_SMOKE before connecting.

Claude Code

claude mcp add mehmoodqureshi-chrome-mcp -- npx -y @mehmoodqureshi/chrome-mcp

Claude Desktop / Cursor / VS Code - add to config

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "mehmoodqureshi-chrome-mcp": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@mehmoodqureshi/chrome-mcp"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Same JSON for Cursor. For VS Code, rename the top-level key from `mcpServers` to `servers`.

Using another client? Same JSON, different key
