About familiar-mcp

familiar-mcp is a TypeScript MCP server that controls the user's real Google Chrome on macOS through AppleScript. It provides 32 tab-scoped browser actions for navigation, page inspection, and interaction, using the everyday browser rather than DevTools Protocol or Playwright.

Key features

  1. 01Control Chrome through AppleScript
  2. 02Manage tabs and navigation
  3. 03Wait for page and selector conditions
  4. 04Read page content and element values
  5. 05Interact with forms and elements
  6. 06Run JavaScript in the page

Use cases

  1. 01Automate tasks in an existing Chrome session
  2. 02Inspect page content and DOM elements
  3. 03Fill and submit browser forms
  4. 04Work with pages requiring a normal browser

MCP support

The MCP server exposes the same 32 browser actions to MCP-compatible clients, including Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Cursor, and Codex CLI.

Configuration

Local server config is the same for every client. Copy it into your client’s MCP config file.

mcp.json · Universal config
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "dominion525-familiar": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@dominion525/familiar-mcp"
      ]
    }
  }
}
Run commandnpx -y @dominion525/familiar-mcp

Local servers need a runtime on your machine (e.g. Node.js 18+). Config file locations differ by client; see your client’s docs.

Packages
npm@dominion525/familiar-mcp0.1.2

Tools

No tool list yet

Local servers expose tools only once running on your machine, and the maintainer has not provided a tool list.

Details

From the project README

familiar

Control your real macOS Chrome via AppleScript — no DevTools Protocol, no Playwright.

A Claude Code skill that drives Google Chrome on macOS through AppleScript (Apple Events). It uses your everyday browser instead of a headless/automated one, so pages behind bot/WAF defenses tend to treat it as a normal user.

What it does

Everything is tab-scoped (windowId + tabId); it never relies on the "active tab".

  • list_tabs / new_tab / new_incognito_tab / close_tab — tab management (new_tab uses a normal window, new_incognito_tab an incognito one)
  • active_tab / window_mode / is_loading — inspect active tab / window mode / tab loading state
  • navigate / get_tab_url — navigation
  • reload / go_back / go_forward / stop — history & reload control
  • wait_for_load / wait_for_selector / wait_for_function — wait for page load / element / a JS condition
  • get_html — get the current DOM as HTML
  • get_text / get_attribute / get_value / exists / query_all — read element text / attribute / value / presence / all matches
  • click / fill / clear / select_option / set_checked / press_key / submit / scroll_into_view — interact with elements and forms
  • execute_js / execute_js_file — run arbitrary JavaScript (use the file form for complex scripts)

Selectors accept CSS (default), text=, xpath=, and label= forms.

Prerequisites

  • macOS with Google Chrome
  • Enable Chrome's "Allow JavaScript from Apple Events" (View → Developer → Allow JavaScript from Apple Events)
  • Approve the Automation permission prompt on first run

Install

Claude Code plugin
/plugin marketplace add dominion525/familiar
/plugin install familiar@familiar

For local development / testing:

/plugin marketplace add /path/to/familiar
/plugin install familiar@familiar
Vercel Skills (agent-skills)
npx skills add dominion525/familiar

This places the skill under ~/.agents/skills/familiar/. Any client that follows the agent-skills spec (Claude Code, Cursor, and others) picks it up automatically. The registry is at https://skills.sh.

MCP server

The mcp/ directory contains an MCP server implementation (TypeScript) that exposes the same 32 actions to any MCP-compatible client (Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Cursor, Codex CLI, and others).

Quick install (Claude Code):

claude mcp add familiar -- npx @dominion525/familiar-mcp@latest

See mcp/README.md for full per-client install and configuration.

Standalone (no install)

The script also runs standalone, without installing the skill:

osascript skills/familiar/familiar.applescript list_tabs

See skills/familiar/SKILL.md for full usage.

New to MCP?

From what the protocol is to installing your first server, these answers cover most first questions.

An open protocol that defines how AI applications connect to external tools and data in a uniform way. Clients talk to the model; MCP servers provide tools, resources and prompt templates. They exchange standard messages, so one server can be reused by many clients.
