Description

Browser Control MCP is a server paired with a Firefox extension that enables AI assistants to control the user's browser. Developed by eyalzh, it provides tools for tab management, history searching, webpage content extraction, and text highlighting. The implementation uses WebSocket communication between a Node.js server and browser extension, with a shared secret for secure messaging. It's particularly useful for scenarios requiring browser automation, research assistance, and content analysis, allowing AI assistants to open tabs, read webpage content, search browser history, and manipulate the browser environment based on user requests.
