Brijio

Connect AI agents to the browser session you already control. Privacy-first, user-controlled, no shared credentials.

Brijio connects AI agents to the browser session you already control. Instead of launching a separate browser, cloning sessions, or exporting cookies — Brijio lets agents collaborate with the browser you're already using. The result is faster, safer, and more privacy-friendly access to the authenticated web. ### How it works 1. **Start the server** — No cloning or building needed. Run Brijio with a single command: Using npx (recommended for local use): ``` npx @brijio/mcp ``` Using Docker: ``` docker run -p 8787:8787 -p 8788:8788 brijio/brijio ``` Both commands start the WebSocket relay (port 8787) and MCP server (port 8788). Auto-generated auth tokens are printed on startup — copy them for the next steps. 2. **Connect your browser** — Enter the server URL and pairing token in the extension popup 3. **Connect your AI agent** — Configure your MCP client (Claude Desktop, Hermes, etc.) with the server URL (`http://localhost:8788/mcp`) and the MCP auth token printed on startup. Agents then read page context, click elements, fill forms, and submit data — only when you're connected ### Key features - **Authenticated browser first** — Use the browser session you're already logged into. No cookie export, no session cloning. - **Remote agent friendly** — Works with any MCP-compatible AI agent: Claude Desktop, Codex, Hermes, OpenClaw, cloud-hosted agents. - **Privacy by design** — The browser does not continuously stream data. Agents must explicitly request information. - **Progressive disclosure** — Agents receive structured context first, then content when requested. No massive DOM dumps. - **Human in control** — The extension only connects when you explicitly start it. Disconnect anytime. - **Auto-reconnect** — If the connection drops, Brijio automatically reconnects with exponential backoff. ### What it doesn't do - ❌ Continuously stream screenshots or DOM - ❌ Share your credentials with remote services - ❌ Run silently in the background - ❌ Store your browsing data externally ### Requirements - A running Brijio server (Docker or npm). See https://github.com/brijio/mcp for setup instructions. - An MCP-compatible AI agent configured to connect to the Brijio MCP server. ### Permissions explained - **activeTab** — Access the current tab when the extension is active - **scripting** — Inject content scripts for page interaction (click, fill, form operations) - **storage** — Store connection settings (server URL, pairing token) - **tabs** — Query tab information (URL, title) for page context - **host_permissions (http/https)** — Required for content script injection on all pages you browse. The extension only reads page data when you're actively connected — never silently. ### Open Source Brijio is open source under AGPLv3. View the source code at https://github.com/brijio/mcp
