claude-chromeUse Claude Code with Chrome browser extension for web browsing and automation tasks. Alternative to OpenClaw's built-in browser tools.
Install via ClawdBot CLI:
clawdbot install dgriffin831/claude-chromeUse Claude Code's Chrome integration to browse the web, interact with pages, and automate browser tasks. This is an alternative to OpenClaw's built-in browser tools (Chrome Relay, OpenClaw profile).
/opt/homebrew/bin/claude)Claude Code can connect to Chrome via its built-in browser extension (MCP server). When enabled, Claude Code gains browser tools — it can navigate pages, click elements, fill forms, read content, and more.
Look for the native host process to confirm the Chrome extension is running:
nodes.run node=<your-node-id> command='["bash", "-lc", "pgrep -f \"claude --chrome-native-host\""]'If this returns a PID, the Chrome extension bridge is active and ready.
Use nodes.run with your node to execute browser tasks:
nodes.run node=<your-node-id> commandTimeoutMs=120000 command='["bash", "-lc", "claude --dangerously-skip-permissions --chrome -p \"Go to example.com and read the headline\""]'Flags:
--dangerously-skip-permissions — auto-approve all actions (required for automation)--chrome — enable Chrome browser integration-p / --print — non-interactive print mode (required for automated use)bash -lc — login shell to ensure PATH is loadedTimeout: See benchmarks below for guidance. Recommended defaults:
commandTimeoutMs=30000 (30 seconds)commandTimeoutMs=120000 (2 minutes)commandTimeoutMs=180000 (3 minutes)| Task Type | Example | Duration | Recommended Timeout |
|-----------|---------|----------|---------------------|
| Simple | Read button text on Google | 13s | 30s (30000ms) |
| Medium | Wikipedia search + navigate + summarize | 76s | 2min (120000ms) |
| Complex | Multi-page navigation + external links | ~90s+ | 3min (180000ms) |
Gateway timeout note: OpenClaw's gateway has a hardcoded 10-second connection timeout. Commands will error immediately but continue running in the background. Results arrive via system messages when complete.
