barq: An MCP Server That Drives a Real Browser, Stopping Before Irreversible Actions
ibhajjaj · reddit · 2026-09-24
The author open-sourced barq, an MCP server where the agent states one outcome per call and a small model (Jev from TypeSafe) picks each click in 0.3s — with no screenshots or DOM dumps in context. It returns needsconfirmation before irreversible clicks and likelydone when unsure, scoring 43/43 with zero false 'done' on a public benchmark. MIT-licensed, works as a Claude Code plugin and with your own Chrome/Edge.
