tabnab
Verified Safeby clduab11
Overview
Provides AI agents with authenticated browser automation capabilities through a local Model Context Protocol (MCP) server.
Installation
node /absolute/path/to/tabnab/dist/mcp/index.jsEnvironment Variables
- CHROME_DEBUG_PORT
Security Notes
The server connects to a local Chrome/Chromium instance via remote debugging (localhost:9222), minimizing external network exposure. No hardcoded secrets or malicious patterns were found. The primary security consideration is the trust placed in the AI agent using TabNab, as it gains full control over the user's authenticated browser sessions. Users must manually enable Chrome's remote debugging, which implies awareness of the security implications.
