The **Webpage MCP Connector** (Chrome extension) exposes real browser capabilities as MCP tools. The **MCP Server** bridges AI clients and the connector using Chrome [Native Messaging](https://developer.chrome.com/docs/extensions/develop/concepts/native-messaging). Local clients use stdio by default. An optional Streamable HTTP gateway can expose the same host to an explicitly authorized remote MCP client; it is never started automatically.

When the HTTP gateway is not running, the original stdio → authenticated local IPC → Native Messaging path is unchanged and no TCP port is opened. See [Remote MCP Access](docs/REMOTE_MCP.md) for the opt-in network setup and security boundaries.

Webpage MCP is best understood as a browser-native workflow layer for Chrome, not just a page-control bridge. Recent Chrome releases have made [Chrome DevTools MCP capable of connecting to active browser sessions](https://developer.chrome.com/blog/chrome-devtools-mcp-debug-your-browser-session), which makes protocol-level control of existing tabs much easier. Webpage MCP complements that model by focusing on what DevTools MCP does not try to be: Chrome extension APIs, saved workflows, in-browser operator UI, semantic cross-tab memory, and page-to-code editing flows.

## Privacy and Data Flows

[Read the full Webpage MCP Privacy Policy](PRIVACY.md) before connecting an MCP
client, enabling Agent features, or using the extension on sensitive pages.

Webpage MCP has no hosted Webpage MCP relay. The extension-to-native-host bridge and authenticated internal IPC stay on the local machine, and the default stdio MCP transport is local. If you explicitly start the remote Streamable HTTP gateway, browser tool requests and results also cross the network path between that host and each authorized remote MCP client. That transport boundary does **not** mean all data processed through the product always stays local. Browser content can leave the machine when a remote MCP client, a connected local AI client, a configured Agent engine, a browser/network tool, or the semantic-model downloader contacts an external service.

| ------------------------------------------------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| MCP browser tools                                       | Page text, accessibility data, screenshots, console/network data, history, bookmarks, files, and tool results                | Sent over the default local stdio bridge, or over the operator-enabled remote gateway, to the connected MCP client when a tool is invoked. The client may then send that data to its configured model provider under that provider's retention and privacy terms.      |
| Quick Panel and Web Editor Agent                        | The instruction plus relevant page URL, selected text, element metadata, screenshots/attachments, or structured edit context | Passed through the native host to the user-selected Claude or Codex engine when the user starts an Agent action. Those engines may call Anthropic, OpenAI, or a configured compatible endpoint; their own authentication, network, and retention policies apply.       |
| Semantic search                                         | Indexed tab text and generated embeddings                                                                                    | Inference and the vector index run locally. On first use, pinned model artifacts are downloaded from Hugging Face and cached after size and SHA-256 verification; tab content is not uploaded to Hugging Face for embedding inference.                                 |
| Navigation, requests, workflows, uploads, and downloads | URLs, request bodies, files, cookies available to the browser context, and workflow inputs                                   | Sent to the requested website or endpoint when the corresponding tool/workflow runs. These operations can have real external side effects.                                                                                                                             |
| Local persistence and diagnostics                       | Agent projects, sessions, messages, image attachments, extension IndexedDB/Cache Storage, and bounded native-host logs       | Stored locally in the Chrome profile and, by default, under `~/.webpage-mcp-agent` plus the platform log directory. A generated diagnostic report can include redacted log excerpts; review it before sharing and use `--include-logs none` when logs are unnecessary. |

The extension requests broad capabilities including `<all_urls>`, `history`, `bookmarks`, `debugger`, `webRequest`, `downloads`, `scripting`, and `userScripts` because its advertised tools operate across the user's live browser profile. The `userScripts` permission runs scripts entered locally in the extension UI and places the privileged Web Editor runtime in a dedicated Chrome execution world so ordinary content scripts cannot impersonate it. Chrome requires the separate **Allow User Scripts** extension toggle described below for those features. Treat an enabled MCP client or Agent session as a privileged browser operator: use trusted clients/providers, keep Agent sandbox/permission settings constrained, avoid sensitive pages when the task does not require them, and inspect high-impact workflow actions before running them.

### Chrome DevTools MCP

Chrome DevTools MCP is an excellent choice when your primary goal is protocol-level debugging of an already-open browser session. Webpage MCP is most valuable one layer above that: browser-native workflows, persistent local automation, and Chrome extension APIs that CDP alone does not cover well.

### Best Used Together

A strong local setup is to use Chrome DevTools MCP as the debugging engine and Webpage MCP as the browser-native workflow layer. DevTools MCP can own deep protocol inspection, while Webpage MCP owns browser-native APIs, saved automations, in-browser UI, and page-to-code workflows.

## Installation

### Quick Start

**1.** Install the **Webpage MCP Connector** Chrome extension first in chrome web store. [https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/webpage-mcp-connector/iehgbogeakiedihodennfcnigojnncag?hl=en](https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/webpage-mcp-connector/iehgbogeakiedihodennfcnigojnncag?hl=en).

**2.** Add `webpage-mcp` to your MCP client config:

```json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "webpage-mcp": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "-p", "webpage-mcp@latest", "webpage-mcp-stdio"]
    }
  }
}
```

**3.** Start your MCP client (with Chrome open and extension enabled).

`webpage-mcp-stdio` now performs silent bootstrap on startup: it checks Native Messaging manifest/runtime and auto-registers user-level host when needed.

The Webpage MCP Connector as a whole requires Chrome 135 or newer; releases cannot be installed on older Chrome versions. The user-script manager and Web Editor have an additional browser toggle: in Chrome 135–137, enable **Developer mode** on `chrome://extensions`; in Chrome 138 or newer, open the extension's Details page and enable **Allow User Scripts** before using those features.

**4.** If extension still cannot connect, use fallback recovery:

1. Open extension `welcome.html` or popup and copy the register command (already includes current extension ID), then run it:

```bash
npx -y webpage-mcp@latest register --browser chrome --force --extension-id <extension_id_from_popup_or_welcome>
```

2. Run one-shot auto-fix:

```bash
npx -y webpage-mcp@latest doctor --fix
```

3. Use the extension popup status refresh button once to reconnect and sync status, then restart MCP client.

<details>
<summary>When do I need to re-register?</summary>

For most users, manual registration is not required because startup bootstrap handles it automatically.

If you did run manual registration, it is typically one-time per machine/profile. You do **not** need to re-run it for normal restarts (OS/Chrome/MCP client). Re-run only when:

- Extension ID changes
- Manifest path changes
- Installation path changes
- Chrome profile data is reset

</details>

### Version Compatibility

The Chrome extension and the `webpage-mcp` npm package are built and released from the same CI pipeline, but Chrome Web Store review and rollout timing is not fixed. This means the latest npm package may be available before the matching Chrome extension version reaches users.

We aim to keep nearby versions compatible. If you run into connection, protocol, or tool behavior issues, first make sure the Chrome extension and the MCP npm package use the same version for the best compatibility.

### Build From Source (Developers)

<details>
<summary>Click to expand</summary>

#### 1. Clone and Build

```bash
git clone https://github.com/mcpland/webpage-mcp.git
cd webpage-mcp

# Activate and install the exact pnpm release pinned by package.json
corepack enable
corepack install

# Install the committed dependency graph
pnpm install --frozen-lockfile

# Build all packages
pnpm build
```

#### 2. Install the Chrome Extension

1. Open Chrome and navigate to `chrome://extensions/`
2. Enable **Developer mode** (toggle in top right)
3. Click **Load unpacked**
4. Select the `app/chrome-extension/.output/chrome-mv3` folder

> This repository does not currently commit binary release zip files. To generate one locally, run `pnpm --filter webpage-mcp-connector zip` and use the artifact from `app/chrome-extension/.output/`.

#### 3. Start MCP Client First

Use the local stdio entry in your MCP client config (example below). On startup, `mcp-server-stdio` will attempt silent bootstrap (manifest/runtime check + user-level auto-register).

#### 4. Fallback: Manual Register (Only If Needed)

If the extension still cannot connect, run:

```bash
# From repo root, use the built local CLI entry
node app/mcp-server/dist/cli.js register --detect

# Or specify browser/extension id explicitly
node app/mcp-server/dist/cli.js register --browser chrome --extension-id <your_extension_id>
```

This writes/updates the JSON manifest in Chrome's `NativeMessagingHosts/` directory so Chrome can launch the MCP server process.

#### 5. Verify Installation

```bash
# Diagnose installation issues
node app/mcp-server/dist/cli.js doctor

# Generate a full diagnostic report
node app/mcp-server/dist/cli.js report
```

Open Chrome and click the extension icon — it should show a connected status.

## Configuration

### Connecting AI Clients

Use stdio transport via `npx`:

```json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "webpage-mcp": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "-p", "webpage-mcp@latest", "webpage-mcp-stdio"]
    }
  }
}
```

This remains the recommended local configuration and does not open a network port.

### Optional Remote Streamable HTTP

On the computer running Chrome and the Connector, start the opt-in gateway:

```bash
install -d -m 700 "$HOME/.config/webpage-mcp"
(umask 077 && openssl rand -base64 32 > "$HOME/.config/webpage-mcp/remote-token")
npx -y webpage-mcp@latest webpage-mcp-server \
  --token-file "$HOME/.config/webpage-mcp/remote-token"
```

The default endpoint is loopback-only at `http://127.0.0.1:12306/mcp`, but every HTTP listener requires a dedicated bearer token. A non-loopback listener additionally requires, for wildcard addresses, an explicit Host allowlist. It also requires TLS unless plaintext use is acknowledged explicitly. For example, on a trusted private network behind TLS:

```bash
npx -y webpage-mcp@latest webpage-mcp-server \
  --host 0.0.0.0 \
  --allowed-host mcp-host.example.internal \
  --token-file "$HOME/.config/webpage-mcp/remote-token" \
  --tls-cert /path/to/fullchain.pem \
  --tls-key /path/to/private-key.pem
```

Configure the remote agent with `https://mcp-host.example.internal:12306/mcp` and an `Authorization: Bearer ...` header. Do not put the token in the URL. Read [Remote MCP Access](docs/REMOTE_MCP.md) before binding outside loopback; it covers token generation, Codex configuration, TLS/reverse-proxy choices, health probes, Host/Origin checks, and troubleshooting.

### Claude Desktop Configuration

Add to your Claude Desktop MCP config (`claude_desktop_config.json`) — use the same `npx` stdio config above.

### Codex Configuration

Codex stores MCP configuration in `~/.codex/config.toml` by default. You can also use a project-local `.codex/config.toml` when the server should only be enabled for one repository.

Add `webpage-mcp` with a `[mcp_servers.<server-name>]` TOML table:

```toml
[mcp_servers."webpage-mcp"]
command = "npx"
args = ["-y", "-p", "webpage-mcp@latest", "webpage-mcp-stdio"]
```

`command` is required. `args` is optional and should be an array when used.

You can also add it with Codex CLI:

```bash
codex mcp add webpage-mcp -- npx -y -p webpage-mcp@latest webpage-mcp-stdio
```

For an already-running remote gateway, Codex's Streamable HTTP form is:

```toml
[mcp_servers."webpage-mcp-remote"]
url = "https://mcp-host.example.internal:12306/mcp"
bearer_token_env_var = "WEBPAGE_MCP_REMOTE_TOKEN"
tool_timeout_sec = 120
```

Set `WEBPAGE_MCP_REMOTE_TOKEN` in the environment of the computer running Codex. After adding the server, restart Codex if needed and use `/mcp` in the Codex TUI to confirm `webpage-mcp` is enabled. See the [official Codex MCP documentation](https://developers.openai.com/codex/mcp) for current client-side options.

### Local Absolute Path (Dev)

<details>
<summary>Click to expand</summary>

For local development, you can point MCP directly to the built stdio entry:

```json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "webpage-mcp-local": {
      "command": "node",
      "args": [
        "/Users/your-user/path/to/webpage-mcp/app/mcp-server/dist/mcp/mcp-server-stdio.js"
      ]
    }
  }
}
```

Important:

- This stdio process still depends on the native bridge socket created by the Chrome Native host.
- Keep Chrome open and ensure the extension is connected to native host.
- Default bridge socket path (macOS/Linux): `~/.webpage-mcp/native-<uid>.sock`.
- If you customized `WEBPAGE_MCP_NATIVE_SOCKET`, both processes must use the same value.

</details>

### Notes

- Native Messaging and the authenticated local IPC bridge remain required for both MCP transports.
- `webpage-mcp-stdio` is the default local transport. `webpage-mcp-server` opens the optional HTTP listener only when you run it explicitly.
- Multiple Connector instances are identified by `instanceId`; both gateways route through the same native host.
- For `npx` usage, keep `-p webpage-mcp@latest` in args so `webpage-mcp-stdio` resolves as the executed bin.

## Additional Capabilities

- **Agent Setup Sidepanel** — Select the workspace and Agent session used by Quick Panel and Web Editor; new Claude and Codex sessions use constrained defaults, while bypass/full-access modes require an explicit risk confirmation
- **Record, Replay, and Publish** — Record browser actions, replay them as automated flows, publish reusable flows, and expose them as dynamic MCP tools (`flow.<slug>`)
- **Triggerable Browser Workflows** — Launch flows from URL matches, DOM appearance, intervals, one-time schedules, keyboard commands, and context-menu actions
- **Web Editor** — Visual in-page DOM editor overlay with a property panel, transaction system, undo/redo, and structured apply-to-code handoff (`Cmd+Shift+E`)
- **Quick Panel** — Keyboard-triggered floating AI chat accessible from any page, with page context and streaming responses (`Cmd+Shift+U`)
- **Semantic Search** — On-device [multilingual E5](https://huggingface.co/Xenova/multilingual-e5-small) embeddings with an HNSW vector index for searching tab content across live browser state. Remote tokenizer and model URLs use immutable Hugging Face commit revisions; downloaded ONNX binaries must also match the checked-in size and SHA-256 manifest before they are cached for offline reuse.
- **Element Marker** — Annotate DOM elements with stable names/selectors so agents and workflows can refer to page targets more reliably

## Development

### Quick Start

The root `packageManager` contract pins both pnpm 10.34.5 and its registry
SHA-512 digest. Use Corepack so local installs honor the same reviewed package
manager bytes as CI.

```bash
# Activate the repository-pinned pnpm and install dependencies
corepack enable
corepack install
pnpm install --frozen-lockfile

# Start all packages in dev mode (shared builds first, then parallel)
pnpm dev
```

### Individual Package Commands

```bash
# Chrome extension
pnpm dev:extension        # Dev mode with HMR
pnpm build:extension      # Production build

# MCP server
pnpm dev:mcp              # Dev mode with auto-reload
pnpm build:mcp            # Production build

# Shared library
pnpm dev:shared           # Watch mode
pnpm build:shared         # Production build

# WASM SIMD (requires Rust toolchain)
pnpm build:wasm           # Linux x64: build canonical release bytes
pnpm verify:wasm:runtime  # Any platform: verify committed runtime
```

### Testing

```bash
# Chrome extension tests (Vitest)
cd app/chrome-extension && pnpm test

# MCP server tests (Vitest)
cd app/mcp-server && pnpm test
```

### Linting & Formatting

```bash
pnpm lint          # Run ESLint across all packages
pnpm lint:fix      # Auto-fix lint issues
pnpm format        # Format with Prettier
pnpm typecheck     # TypeScript type checking
```

### Dependency License Inventory

`pnpm legal:check` verifies the committed, full production npm closures against the frozen pnpm graph and lockfile without using the network. It also checks locally available package metadata and license evidence, the exact Cargo notice closure, and the reviewed legal-file digests.

After an intentional dependency or lockfile change, refresh the inventories with `node scripts/legal-notices.mjs refresh`. Refresh downloads registry tarballs without running dependency lifecycle scripts and accepts evidence only after the complete tarball matches the lockfile SHA-512 integrity. Review the resulting `THIRD_PARTY_COMPONENTS.json` files and notice changes before committing them.

The machine-readable inventories describe production install/build inputs; they do not assert that every component is emitted into a bundle. The release artifacts include those inventories byte-for-byte. Human-readable `THIRD_PARTY_NOTICES.md` files summarize distribution boundaries, while the extension's `THIRD_PARTY_LICENSES.txt` covers emitted or vendored code and its attributions.

| Command                         | Description                                                   |
| ------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------- |
| `register`                      | Register the Native Messaging host manifest                   |
| `fix-permissions`               | Fix execution permissions for native host files               |
| `doctor`                        | Diagnose installation and environment issues                  |
| `report`                        | Export a diagnostic report for troubleshooting                |
| `webpage-mcp-server` subcommand | Start the optional Streamable HTTP gateway (`serve` is alias) |
| standalone `webpage-mcp-server` | Start the same gateway through the package's dedicated bin    |

### Register Options

```bash
npx -y webpage-mcp@latest register [options]

Options:
 -f, --force Compatibility flag (accepted; registration is currently idempotent)
 -s, --system System-level install (requires sudo/admin)
 -b, --browser <browser> Target browser: chrome, chromium, or all
 -d, --detect Auto-detect installed browsers
 -e, --extension-id <id> Override extension ID(s) for allowed_origins (comma-separated)
```

<details>
<summary>Additional registration details</summary>

When `--browser chrome` is used, the installer also writes channel-compatible manifests on macOS/Linux (for example Chrome Stable/Beta/Canary/Chrome for Testing paths) to reduce "native host not found" channel mismatch issues. The installer also attempts to discover local unpacked Webpage MCP Connector extension IDs from browser profiles and add them to `allowed_origins`.

For unpacked extensions with a custom ID, you can re-register with:

```bash
npx -y webpage-mcp@latest register --browser chrome --extension-id <your_extension_id>
```

The extension popup and welcome page can generate this command automatically using `chrome.runtime.id`, which avoids manual ID lookup mistakes. The generated command may include `--force`; this flag is optional.

## Troubleshooting

<details>
<summary>Extension fails to connect</summary>

1. Ensure the native host is registered: `npx -y webpage-mcp@latest doctor`
2. Check that Node.js >= 22 is available at the registered path (Node.js 24 LTS recommended)
3. Check that the Chrome extension and `webpage-mcp` npm package versions match, especially after a fresh npm release
4. Prefer the exact register command generated in extension popup/welcome and run it once
5. Fully restart Chrome (quit all Chrome processes), then click Connect again

</details>

<details>
<summary>MCP client can't reach the server</summary>

1. Ensure Chrome is open and the extension is enabled
2. Ensure native host is connected (`npx -y webpage-mcp@latest doctor`)
3. For local clients, use npx stdio config (`command: "npx"`, `args: ["-y", "-p", "webpage-mcp@latest", "webpage-mcp-stdio"]`)
4. For remote clients, verify authenticated `/readyz`, the `/mcp` suffix, Host allowlist, TLS trust, firewall, and bearer header; see [Remote MCP Access](docs/REMOTE_MCP.md)

</details>

<details>
<summary>Tools return errors or time out</summary>

1. Make sure Chrome is open with the extension enabled
2. Check the extension's service worker console for errors (`chrome://extensions/` > Inspect views)
3. Some tools (e.g., `chrome_network_capture`) require specific page states

</details>

<details>
<summary>Generate a diagnostic report</summary>

```bash
npx -y webpage-mcp@latest report --copy    # Copies to clipboard
npx -y webpage-mcp@latest doctor --fix     # Auto-fix common issues
```

</details>

## CI/CD

Chrome Web Store submission and rollout are manual external steps. Before every upload, review submission, or rollout, complete the [Chrome Web Store release and privacy checklist](docs/CHROME_WEB_STORE_RELEASE.md); the repository workflow does not validate Developer Dashboard fields or the live store listing.

<details>
<summary>GitHub Actions workflows</summary>

**`ci.yml`**

- Trigger: pushes and pull requests on `main`/`develop`
- Runs: frozen install, production npm and Rust advisory gates, lint, typecheck (mcp/shared + extension), tests, build

**`dependency-security.yml`**

- Trigger: daily at 04:17 UTC and manual dispatch
- Audits the committed production pnpm and Cargo lockfile graphs without installing project dependencies or executing dependency lifecycle scripts
- Uses the same fail-closed npm and Rust advisory checks as CI and release, so newly disclosed advisories are detected even when source code is unchanged

The Rust gate installs the Linux x64 musl `cargo-deny` binary described by `scripts/cargo-deny-tool.json`. The installer accepts only GitHub's fixed HTTPS release-asset redirect, streams into a bounded temporary file, verifies both the archive and extracted executable by exact byte count and SHA-256, installs mode `0755` atomically, and probes the pinned version through an absolute path. The workflow first validates the Cargo graph with `cargo metadata --locked`, then runs `cargo-deny` without its `--locked`/`--offline` flags so the RustSec database is refreshed on every gate; download, refresh, and scan failures remain fatal.

WASM rebuild gates apply the same byte-verification pipeline to the official Linux x64 musl `wasm-pack` release described by `scripts/wasm-pack-tool.json`. Both its archive and extracted executable are size- and SHA-256-pinned, and the artifact builder invokes that verified executable by absolute path. Exact WASM byte reproducibility is a Linux x64 contract enforced by `artifacts.json`; other hosts can verify the committed portable runtime with `pnpm verify:wasm:runtime`.

Dependabot checks GitHub Actions, the root pnpm workspace, and the Rust/WASM crate weekly. Live advisory databases can make an unchanged commit fail a subsequent CI or release run; resolve or explicitly review the advisory rather than weakening the gate.

**`release.yml`**

- Trigger: tag push `v*` and manual dispatch. A branch dispatch with `publish_npm=false` remains available as a build-only release dry run.
- Before artifact construction, the workflow binds the event to one immutable commit SHA and requires Linux, Windows, and macOS gates on that exact commit. Every gate performs a frozen workspace install, typechecks, tests, builds, and exchanges a native-message ping/pong through the built platform wrapper. Production npm and Rust advisory checks and coverage are collected only by the Linux gate rather than repeated on all three operating systems.
- Unified releases accept stable `x.y.z` versions only. Prerelease (`-rc.1`, `-beta.1`) and build-metadata (`+build.1`) versions are rejected before any artifact or publish step because Chrome's update version is numeric and must stay aligned with the npm package version.
- Builds release assets:
 - Chrome extension zip (`app/chrome-extension/.output/webpage-mcp-connector-<version>-chrome-extension.zip`)
 - MCP server npm tarball (`.tgz`)
 - `SHA256SUMS.txt`
- Verifies that each artifact contains the reviewed `LICENSE`, `THIRD_PARTY_NOTICES.md`, and `THIRD_PARTY_COMPONENTS.json` bytes; the extension ZIP must also contain its reviewed `THIRD_PARTY_LICENSES.txt`.
- On tag pushes, creates a GitHub Release and uploads assets
- On tag pushes (`v*`), publishes `webpage-mcp` to npm (requires `NPM_AUTH_TOKEN` secret)
- Manual npm publish is available via `workflow_dispatch` with `publish_npm=true` only when the selected ref is the exact matching `v<package-version>` tag. A branch dispatch that requests publishing fails closed.
- The npm mutation job uses the `npm-publish` GitHub Environment so repository administrators can configure required reviewers or other deployment protection rules.
- Formal release builds require the Actions repository variable `CHROME_EXTENSION_PUBLIC_KEY`. It must contain the single-line base64 DER public-key body from Chrome Web Store, never a PEM or private key, and must derive the configured official extension ID. Local builds may omit it, but then unpacked builds do not use the official stable extension ID.
