  description

  Chromium Bookmarks MCP bridges your browser bookmarks with AI assistants like Claude through the Model Context Protocol (MCP).
  
  Features:
  • Search, create, update, and delete bookmarks via natural language
  • Browse and manage your bookmark folder structure
  • Find and remove duplicate bookmarks automatically
  • Check for dead or broken bookmark links
  • Batch move and batch delete operations
  • Export and import bookmarks as HTML
  
  How it works:
  This extension receives tool calls from a local MCP server process via Chrome Native Messaging, executes bookmark operations, and returns results. All communication happens locally on your machine.
  
  Setup:
  1. Install this extension
  2. Install the companion npm package: npx chromium-bookmarks-mcp register
  3. Add the MCP server to your AI client configuration
  4. Start managing bookmarks with natural language
  
  Requirements:
  • Node.js (v18+) or Bun runtime
  • An MCP-compatible AI client (Claude Code, Claude Desktop, etc.)

  How it works:
  This extension receives tool calls from a local MCP server process via Chrome Native Messaging, executes bookmark operations, and returns results. All communication happens locally on your machine — no data leaves your computer.
  
  Setup (3 steps):
  1. Install this extension
  2. Add the MCP server to your AI client. For Claude Code:
     claude mcp add bookmarks -- npx chromium-bookmarks-mcp
     The server auto-registers as a native messaging host on first run, including the required HKCU registry keys on Windows.
  3. Open your browser and click the extension icon to activate the connection — you should see a green dot.
  
  Supported browsers:
  Chrome, Brave, Edge, Arc, and Chromium itself, on macOS, Linux, and Windows.
  
  Requirements:
  • Bun 1.2+ (https://bun.sh)
  • An MCP-compatible AI client (Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Cursor, Windsurf, etc.)
