Show HN: VibeBrowser – Give your AI agent your real logged-in browser via MCP
VibeBrowser introduces a new MCP (Model Context Protocol) tool that allows AI agents to access a user's real, logged-in Chrome browser session directly. It enables AI agents to interact with authenticated websites, extensions, and existing tabs without launching a separate browser instance. The tool supports multi-agent coordination, is open source, and operates without per-use billing or debug ports.
- ▪VibeBrowser MCP connects AI agents to a user's actual Chrome session with logged-in states and extensions.
- ▪It supports multiple AI agents controlling the same browser simultaneously via a local or internet-exposed relay.
- ▪The tool is free, open source, and does not require a Browserbase account or debug mode.
- ▪VibeBrowser MCP integrates with Google Workspace, offering native tools for Gmail and Calendar.
- ▪It competes with Playwright MCP, DevTools MCP, and Browser MCP by emphasizing real-session access and multi-agent support.
