# Control authenticated Chrome sessions through MCP with OpenChrome

Let an agent drive a real logged-in Chrome profile through MCP for authenticated browsing, parallel tab work, and token-efficient page interaction without re-authenticating each run.

## Prerequisites

Node.js, npm, Google Chrome, MCP-compatible client

## Installation

Use the upstream install or setup path that matches your environment:
- npm install -g openchrome-mcp
- npx openchrome-mcp setup --client opencode # OpenCode

Requirements and caveats from upstream:
- (macOS / Windows / Linux, beta) runs the server with no Node.js setup.
- launched it (Docker, systemd, CI):
- openchrome doctor # Node, disk, Chrome binary/port, orphans, perms, locks

Basic usage or getting-started notes:
- bash
- openchrome setup # Claude Code
- openchrome setup --client codex # Codex CLI
