Your real, logged-in browser, driven from an AI side panel by the agent CLI you already have. Also an optional MCP server, so any MCP client can drive the same browser.
Browsentic is your browser's superpower, free and open source. One install sets up everything, the extension included.
macOS: one line installs the app, which brings Node and everything else:
curl -fsSL https://browsentic.com/install.sh | sh
Windows: one line in PowerShell installs the Windows app (experimental):
irm https://browsentic.com/install.ps1 | iex
Any platform, with Node.js 20 or newer:
npx browsentic@latest setup
Setup asks which browser you use and opens Browsentic's store page in it (the apps do the same from their Overview tab). Press Add to Chrome (Add in Firefox; Edge first asks you to allow extensions from other stores), and the extension connects to Browsentic Bridge by itself; if it asks for a code, enter the one setup shows. From then on it updates itself from its store.
The extension is on the Chrome Web Store for Chrome, Brave, Arc, Vivaldi and Opera, on Edge Add-ons for Edge, and Firefox gets an add-on signed by Mozilla:
If you added the extension from a store first, run the same line, and the two connect as soon as the Bridge is in place.
The side panel runs on an agent CLI you are signed in to: Claude Code, Codex or another supported one. It uses the one you already have, so there is no API key, no account and no extra subscription.

The extension dials out to Browsentic Bridge, because a Manifest V3 service worker cannot listen for connections. One Bridge owns the browser link, so several MCP clients can share one browser. Everything binds to 127.0.0.1.
