  description

  A Chrome extension that lets you point at page elements and have Claude Code fix them — no screenshots, no copy-pasting selectors.

  Point at page elements and let Claude Code fix them. Visual web debugging with element picker, DOM tree, and streaming chat.
  
  ━━━ What this is ━━━
  
  Claude Code Browser is a companion to the Claude Code CLI you already have on your computer. It uses your existing Claude Code account, credentials and tokens — there is nothing new to sign in to here.
  
  It is NOT a standalone Claude Code by itself. To let Chrome talk to Claude Code, a small Node.js helper runs locally on your machine and acts as a bridge between this browser and your Claude Code instance. One terminal command sets that up — and if you don't have Claude Code installed yet, it installs that for you too.
  
  ━━━ What it does ━━━
  
  • Point and fix — click any element on a web page and ask Claude Code to debug, refactor, or rewrite it
  • Element picker — visual selector that captures full DOM context automatically
  • DOM tree — explore page structure right inside the side panel
  • Streaming chat — watch Claude Code think and edit in real time
  • No screenshots, no copy-pasting selectors — page context is sent automatically
  
  ━━━ How it works ━━━
  
  This extension talks over Chrome's native messaging API to a small local Node.js bridge (the `claude-code-browser` npm package). The bridge spawns a Claude Code agent session that reuses your existing authentication and exposes the page context — DOM, screenshots, navigation — to the agent over MCP.
  
  ━━━ Setup ━━━
  
  Open the side panel and follow the on-screen instructions:
  1. Run the install command shown on screen
  2. Sign in to Claude Code if you haven't already
  3. Restart Chrome
  
  The bridge auto-detects when it's connected and the setup screen disappears.
  
  ━━━ Open source & privacy ━━━
  
  Fully open source under MIT. No telemetry. Page content stays between your browser and your local Claude Code session — nothing is sent to any third-party server by this extension.
