The browser extension is not connected. I need to let the user know that while I do have browser automation
capabilities, the Claude in Chrome extension needs to be installed and running for me to use them.
⏺ I have browser automation capabilities, but the Claude in Chrome extension isn't currently connected. To enable
browser control, you'll need to:
- Install the Claude browser extension from https://claude.ai/chrome
- Make sure Chrome is running with the extension enabled
- You may need to restart Chrome after installation
Once the extension is connected, I can navigate websites, fill forms, click elements, take screenshots, and
automate browser tasks for you.
Is there something specific you'd like to do in the browser once it's connected?

The user says the extension is installed. Let me try again to connect to the browser context. Sometimes there
might be a temporary connection issue.

Still not connecting. Let me suggest some troubleshooting steps to the user.
⏺ The extension still isn't connecting. A few things to try:
- Restart Chrome completely - Close all Chrome windows and reopen
- Check the extension is enabled - Go to chrome://extensions/ and make sure the Claude extension is toggled on
- Check for the extension icon - You should see the Claude icon in your browser toolbar
- Click the extension icon - Sometimes you need to activate it by clicking the icon in the toolbar
- Check if it's the right extension - Make sure it's "Claude in Chrome" specifically for Claude Code integration
Would you like to try any of these steps?

Strange, it's still saying it's not connected even though the user says it is. There might be a communication
issue between the extension and the MCP server. Let me suggest some additional troubleshooting or ask them to
verify the connection status in the extension itself.
⏺ There seems to be a connection issue between Claude Code and the extension. A few more things to check:
- Is the extension showing "Connected" status? - Click on the Claude extension icon and check if it shows it's
connected to Claude Code
- Are you running Claude Code in the same session? - The extension needs to connect to this specific Claude Code
session
- Try refreshing the extension - Disable and re-enable it in chrome://extensions/
- Check your firewall/network - Sometimes local connections can be blocked
