What you can do with it

We have not written a plain-language summary for this one yet. Below are the facts we read from the registry.

Connection: Runs on your computer
Transport: stdio
Category: Web & browsers

Install

Pick the AI app you use, then copy the settings.

Before you install

Basic checks: 1 of 1 passed
Runs on your computer with your user’s permissions (files, network, apps).
The registry lists no key to fill in.

You need

npmNode.js installed (for the npx command)

Which app do you use?

ClaudeClaude CodeCursorVS CodeChatGPT

Pick your app above. We remember it, so next time the button says “Install in …”.

Open Claude Desktop → Settings → Developer → Edit Config, and paste this into claude_desktop_config.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "browsentic": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "browsentic",
        "mcp"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Run this in your terminal

claude mcp add browsentic -- npx -y browsentic mcp

Open in Cursor

Or copy the settings yourself

Paste into .cursor/mcp.json in your project, or ~/.cursor/mcp.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "browsentic": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "browsentic",
        "mcp"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Your browser asks to open the app, then the app shows the settings and asks you to confirm. Key values are left empty for you to fill in.

Open in VS Code

Or copy the settings yourself

Paste into .vscode/mcp.json in your project

{
  "servers": {
    "browsentic": {
      "type": "stdio",
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "browsentic",
        "mcp"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Your browser asks to open the app, then the app shows the settings and asks you to confirm. Key values are left empty for you to fill in.

This one runs on your computer, and ChatGPT can only connect to servers on the internet. Pick another app.

Common questions

Is Browsentic safe?

It passed 1 of 1 applicable basic checks. We have not read the code. Before adding a key or token, see what access the server asks for and use a key with only the permissions you need.

What keys or codes does it need?

The registry does not list a required key, though some servers ask you to sign in on first use.

Does it run on my computer or in the cloud?

It runs on your computer. Your AI app starts it when needed, and data does not pass through the maker’s servers (unless it calls an online service itself).

Is it still maintained?

The GitHub repo last changed –, and the latest version (0.9.0) reached the registry 19 days ago.

Which apps can use it?

Apps that support MCP, such as Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor and VS Code. You also need Node.js on your computer.

What can I use instead?

browsentic

This is Browsentic Bridge, the half of Browsentic that runs on your computer.

Browsentic is your browser's superpower: an agentic browser harness that runs the agent CLI you already use from a side panel in your real, logged-in browser. The side panel opens beside whatever tab you are on; the Bridge runs on loopback and starts your agent CLI when you give it work. It is free and open source, with no hosted relay, no API key, no account and no headless browser: the agent works in the tabs you are already signed in to.

Install

One command sets everything up, the extension included:

npx browsentic@latest setup

It starts Browsentic Bridge, asks which browser you use, opens the extension's store page there and waits for the browser to connect. Press Add to Chrome (Add in Firefox; Edge first asks you to allow extensions from other stores), and the extension connects by itself; if it asks for a code, enter the one setup prints. On macOS and Windows an app does the same from a window: see browsentic.com/install.

The extension is on the Chrome Web Store for Chrome, Brave, Arc, Vivaldi and Opera, on Edge Add-ons for Edge, and Firefox gets an add-on signed by Mozilla. The side panel runs on an agent CLI you are signed in to: Claude Code, Codex, or another supported one.

Then open the side panel and type or speak an instruction.

To update later:

npx browsentic@latest update

The extension updates itself from its store, and the two do not have to be the same version.

Requirements

Node.js 20 or newer
Chrome, Edge, Brave, Arc, Vivaldi, Opera or another Chromium browser, or Firefox 140 or newer
One agent CLI on your PATH, logged in: claude, codex, agy, vibe, grok, cursor-agent, qwen, opencode or dsh

Commands


`browsentic setup`	start the Bridge, add the extension to a browser and pair it
`browsentic update`	update the Bridge and restart it
`browsentic browsers`	the browsers on this computer and where each gets the extension
`browsentic pair`	issue a fresh single-use code
`browsentic status`	the Bridge, each paired browser and the agent
`browsentic sessions`	list paired browsers
`browsentic revoke`	unpair one browser, or all of them
`browsentic agent`	choose which agent runs the side panel
`browsentic logs`	tail the Bridge's log
`browsentic mcp`	serve MCP over stdio

browsentic help lists the rest. A browser that cannot reach a store can load the extension from a folder this package carries: browsentic setup --unpacked.

Using it from an MCP client

Optional, and the side panel needs none of it. Registering Browsentic with an MCP client lets that client drive the same browser from a terminal.

npm i -g browsentic

claude mcp add browsentic -- browsentic mcp

Any MCP client works: Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, Zed, Claude Desktop. One Bridge owns the browser link, so several can share the same paired browser at once.

Prefer a global install over npx here. An npx command re-resolves on every client start and can quietly start a different Bridge than the one you set up.
