Chrome browser automation MCP server for AI agents — drives real Chrome with your profiles
Pagerunner MCP server is a locally run integration for AI assistants that speak the Model Context Protocol. Chrome browser automation MCP server for AI agents — drives real Chrome with your profiles.
A Chrome browser automation MCP server. Connect Claude (or any MCP client) to a real Chrome session — using your existing profiles with their cookies, saved passwords, and history.
Once Pagerunner is connected, these are the calls the assistant has available:
Interactions — The Interactions tool exposed by this serverModes — The Modes tool exposed by this serverSetup follows the usual MCP pattern — install or clone the server, register it in your client's configuration file, restart the client.
You will need one environment variable: ANTHROPIC_API_KEY. The server will not start without them, which is usually why the tools fail to appear on a first run. Keep credentials in your client's env block or a secrets manager rather than in a file you might commit.
Among the browser automation options, the useful question is rarely "what can it do" but "what does it cost you to run" — permissions, credentials, and how much of your context its toolset consumes. Pagerunner's toolset — Interactions, Modes — is a fair guide to whether it matches your workflow. It is maintained by Enreign; worth a glance at recent repository activity before you build anything load-bearing on it.
SyncDev reviews every entry in this directory against the project's own documentation before publishing, and revisits them as servers change.
