Claude Bowser

Purpose

Automate browsing using Chrome MCP tools (mcp__claude_in_chrome__* ) available when Claude Code is started with --chrome . This uses your real Chrome browser — observable, with your existing profile, cookies, and extensions.

Pre-flight Check

Before doing anything, verify Chrome MCP tools are available. Look for tools matching mcp__claude_in_chrome__* .

• If available: proceed with the workflow.

• If NOT available: stop and reply to the user: "Chrome tools are not available. Please restart Claude Code with the --chrome flag: claude --chrome "

Workflow

• Resize the browser window to 1440x900

• Execute the user's request using Chrome MCP tools (navigate, click, screenshot, etc.)

• Report results back to the user

Limitations

• No parallel instances. All Chrome MCP connections share a single Chrome extension controller. Only one bowser task at a time.

• Observable only. This uses your real Chrome — there is no headless mode.
