The author released agent-webbridge, an MIT-licensed MCP server that drives your real, already-logged-in Chrome instead of headless or cloud browsers holding your cookies.
- Runs via npx -y agent-webbridge mcp, zero dependencies, macOS and Windows
- Multiple profiles and parallel tabs: reading 5 GitHub repo pages took 9.3s one at a time vs 3.5s with 5 tabs
- Limits: Chrome-only, requires an extension, acts as you
- Security note: versions before 1.3.1 had a hole letting websites hit the local bridge — upgrade
- Per-site recipes collected at the awb-recipes repo
