open-claude-in-chrome

Active·★ 255·NOASSERTION·Updated 2026-09-22

Open Claude in Chrome is an open-source, unrestricted alternative to the official Claude in Chrome extension. It provides the same 18 MCP tools for browser automation but removes the domain blocklist and supports any Chromium browser. Fully MIT licensed.

open-claude-in-chrome sits in the Browser Automation category, so it is usually better judged by workflow fit, deployment style, and team needs than by isolated features alone. Based on the available metadata, it leans most clearly toward No domain blocklist – navigate to any website. A representative use case is Automate interactions on any website without restrictions (e.g., Tinder, Reddit, Robinhood). The listed license is NOASSERTION. GitHub stars are currently 255. Relevant tags include ai-agent, anthropic.

This write-up is based on the project's README and public repository data. We have not hand-tested the tool.
