RustCLI

Bridge between rustcli CLI and your browser — execute commands, read cookies, manage tabs.

# RustCLI — Browser Bridge for Command-Line Tools Connect your Chrome browser to the RustCLI command-line tool. Reuse existing browser sessions and cookies so you don't need to re-authenticate when scraping websites from the command line. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ ✨ KEY FEATURES 🌐 **Session Reuse** Share cookies and logged-in sessions between Chrome and RustCLI CLI. No more managing tokens separately — just log in once in your browser and use the same session from the command line. 🍪 **Cookie Access** Read cookies from any domain directly from your CLI commands. Perfect for web scraping, API testing, and automation that requires authenticated access. 📋 **Tab Management** List, open, and close tabs programmatically from the command line. Automate browsing workflows with ease. ⚡ **Fast & Lightweight** Built with modern Manifest V3, uses minimal resources. Native messaging connects to your local RustCLI daemon with low latency. 🔐 **Privacy First** All communication is local between Chrome and your RustCLI daemon. No data ever leaves your machine, no tracking, no analytics. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 🚀 HOW IT WORKS 1. Install the rustcli-rs command-line tool on your machine 2. Start the RustCLI daemon (`rustcli daemon`) 3. Install this browser extension 4. The extension automatically connects to the local daemon 5. Now your CLI commands can access browser cookies and tabs ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 📋 REQUIREMENTS • You need to have the `rustcli-rs` command-line tool installed and running locally on your machine • The daemon listens on `ws://localhost:19825` by default • Supports all platforms (macOS, Linux, Windows) where rustcli runs ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 💡 PERFECT FOR • Developers doing web scraping and automation • Researchers who need authenticated access to websites from CLI • Anyone who wants to integrate command-line tools with their browser • Users of rustcli who want full browser integration
