# 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 1. Resize the browser window to 1440x900 2. Execute the user's request using Chrome MCP tools (navigate, click, screenshot, etc.) 3. 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.
