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": {
    "fileforge": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "fileforge-mcp-server"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Run this in your terminal

claude mcp add fileforge -- npx -y fileforge-mcp-server

Open in Cursor

Or copy the settings yourself

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

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

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": {
    "fileforge": {

Common questions

Is FileForge Browser DevTools 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 (0.2.2) reached the registry yesterday.

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?

README from the maker

Open the README

Copied from the maker’s repo as written. PopNx MCP has not reviewed or endorsed it. HTML, images and scripts are removed. Links lead off this site.

fileforge-mcp-server

The MCP server for FileForge. Your agent watches your signed-in Chrome across tabs, sweeps your routes, and hands you the bug report. This package also contains the FileForge Chrome extension, which you load unpacked from the package folder.

You need Node.js 20 or newer and Google Chrome.

Install

npm install -g fileforge-mcp-server

Install it globally, not with npx: Chrome loads the extension from the package folder, so the folder must stay put.

Set it up

fileforge-setup

This prints the extension folder and the exact command or config for each MCP client, using your real paths. It changes nothing unless you pass --write.

Open chrome://extensions, turn on Developer mode, click Load unpacked and pick the folder it printed. The card should show ID nlcebipkdgecilmgfpobamljieanadpn.

Then connect your client. For Claude Code or Codex, run the command it printed. For Cursor or Claude Desktop, let it edit the config file; it keeps your other servers and saves the old file as .bak:

fileforge-setup --client cursor --write

Every client is covered in the setup guide.

Verify

With your MCP client open and Chrome running:

fileforge-verify

Then ask your agent to call fileforge_runtime_action with action: "status".

Pairing

Optional: with FILEFORGE_REQUIRE_PAIRING=1 in the server's environment, the extension must present the bridge token. fileforge-pair prints it, and you paste it into the side panel's Settings tab. See the setup guide.

Updating

npm install -g fileforge-mcp-server@latest

Then click the reload icon on the FileForge card at chrome://extensions and restart your MCP client. fileforge-verify warns when Chrome is still running the old extension code.
