FoxPilot

An extension that lets a local MCP server drive Chrome: tabs, history, content, and opt-in page automation.

FoxPilot lets your AI assistant drive Chrome. It's a local MCP (Model Context Protocol) server paired with this extension, so MCP-compatible clients such as Claude Desktop, Claude Code, or Cursor can control your real Chrome: open and organize tabs, search your history, read page content and links, and (when you opt in) automate pages directly. What it can do - Tabs & windows: open, close, select, reorder, and group tabs; navigate and use back/forward history. - Reading: extract a page's text and links, take an accessibility snapshot of interactive elements, and find/highlight text. - Automation Mode (opt-in): click, hover, type, fill forms, press keys, drag, upload files, take screenshots, run JavaScript, and capture console & network activity. - History: search across your recent browsing. Privacy first FoxPilot runs entirely on your machine. The extension talks only to a local server you run, pairing with it automatically over a loopback-only connection, with no secret to copy or manage. Page automation is off by default and must be explicitly enabled, and broad site access is an optional permission you grant only if you want it. Nothing is sent to third-party servers. Who it's for Developers and power users who want to give an AI assistant hands-on, auditable control of their browser for testing, research, scraping, and repetitive web tasks, without sending data to a third party. Setup Install the companion MCP server (foxpilot-mcp) and connect it to your MCP client. Full instructions and source: https://github.com/balakumardev/foxpilot
