Show: Chromeflow — Chrome extension and MCP server lets Claude Code or Codex CLI drive your real Chrome
A few engineering choices that might interest folks here:- stdio MCP + local WebSocket bridge (ports 7878-7888 → up to 11 parallel sessions in different Chrome windows)- Privileged-fetch tool runs in the extension's background SW so authenticated fetches bypass page CSP (Canvas attachments, Stripe document downloads, etc.)- In-extension docx parsing using DecompressionStream — no local CLI dependencies- Watchdog on stdin close + PPID change so abandoned MCP processes can't leakv0.9.4 just shipped (yesterday): pruned 38 tools → 26 by merging overlapping ones, added a privacy fix where inspect_request_headers now redacts cookies by default.Battle-tested by 400+ hours of real agentic browser work before public release.
