Overview

browser-mcp-lite provides a compact solution for connecting Chrome browsers to MCP-compatible applications using a dedicated Chrome extension. It leverages browser accessibility trees to expose page content and structure without requiring complex tool setups. The server employs token-based authentication for secure access, making it suitable for local browser automation workflows where direct browser interaction is needed without heavy infrastructure.
