Documentation

Full README

MCP Browser

Claude, Cursor and other MCP clients cannot open Reddit, X, LinkedIn or Facebook. Those sites block AI fetchers, so you end up reading the threads yourself and pasting them in. MCP Browser is a Mac app that lets your AI read those sites through your own Chrome login, so it sees exactly what you see and answers with links. It also reads your Search Console, Google Analytics and Microsoft Clarity data. No API keys, no OAuth setup.
