About openchrome
shaun0927/openchrome
Open-source browser automation MCP server. Control your real Chrome from any AI agent.
Implements MCP server that connects directly to Chrome via Chrome DevTools Protocol (CDP), eliminating middleware overhead while maintaining real browser sessions and login state across parallel tabs. Includes 27 harness subsystems—hint engine with 30+ rules, outcome classification, pattern learning, and DOM compression achieving 15x token efficiency—that guide AI agents and prevent costly error cascades. Achieves ~300MB memory for 20 parallel sessions versus 5GB+ for traditional approaches, while remaining invisible to bot detection and enabling authenticated cross-site operations.
About kernel-mcp-server
kernel/kernel-mcp-server
Open-source MCP server for secure, low-latency cloud-browser automation on Kernel.
Implements core browser automation via Playwright scripts executed against live Chromium instances, with automatic video recording of sessions and real-time invocation monitoring. Authenticates through OAuth 2.0 with Clerk and supports multiple transport protocols (streamable HTTP, stdio via mcp-remote) for compatibility across AI assistants like Claude, Cursor, and VS Code.
