Claude Chrome

What it does

Claude Chrome enables seamless integration of Claude’s language model within your Chrome browser, allowing it to interact with websites you're already logged into – such as Gmail, Google Docs, Notion, CRMs, and more. It provides two methods for controlling Chrome: a terminal-based approach using the claude CLI and a Chrome DevTools MCP server offering browser automation tools. Both options leverage your existing browser session, eliminating the need for re-authentication.

When to use it

• Automated Form Filling: Populate forms on websites like CRMs with data from external sources (e.g., CSV files).
• Web Scraping & Data Extraction: Extract structured data (name, price, availability) from product listings pages and save it in formats like CSV.
• Workflow Automation: Draft documents or updates based on code commits and automatically add them to Google Docs.
• Testing & Debugging: Test login forms with invalid data and verify error message display; check for console errors during page loading.
• Demo Recording: Record browser actions as GIFs, such as a checkout flow.

Key capabilities

• Navigation & Interaction: Navigate URLs, click elements, type text into inputs, scroll pages, create/manage tabs, resize windows.
• Information Retrieval: Read page content and DOM state, access console logs and errors, monitor network requests.
• Form Automation: Automatically fill forms with data.
• Recording: Record browser actions as GIFs.
• Terminal & Browser Command Chaining: Combine browser automation commands with terminal commands.
• Multi-Tab Support: Work across multiple tabs within Chrome.

Example prompts

• "Go to github.com/anthropics and click on the 'Code' tab."
• "Open localhost:3000, try submitting the login form with invalid data, and check if error messages appear correctly."
• "I have contacts in contacts.csv. For each row, go to crm.example.com, click 'Add Contact', and fill in the name, email, and phone fields."

Tips & gotchas

• Prerequisites: Requires Google Chrome, the Claude in Chrome extension (v1.0.36+), Claude Code CLI (v2.0.73+), and a paid Claude plan (Pro, Team, Enterprise, or Max).
• Authentication: Claude uses your existing browser login state; no re-authentication is needed.
• Pauses for User Interaction: The skill will pause if it encounters CAPTCHAs, login prompts, or modal dialogs – you must handle these manually before continuing.
