Web Eyes 👁️

MCP server that gives Claude Code eyes on a Chrome tab. Capture the page's text (clean, reader-mode style), a screenshot, or its DOM, so you can discuss any website together with Claude. Runs on your Claude Code subscription, no paid API.

Private by design: no telemetry, no analytics, nothing leaves your machine except the page content you choose to capture (which goes only to your own Claude Code session). It opens a separate, isolated Chrome profile, so your everyday browser stays untouched.

Install

As a Claude Code plugin (recommended, adds an on/off switch and the trigger skills):

/plugin marketplace add diegodias93/web-eyes

Or as an MCP server only. Install the package globally once, then point Claude Code at it with node directly:

npm install -g @diegodias93/web-eyes

macOS/Linux:

claude mcp add web-eyes -- node "$(npm root -g)/@diegodias93/web-eyes/dist/index.js"

Windows (PowerShell):

claude mcp add web-eyes -- node "$(npm root -g)\@diegodias93\web-eyes\dist\index.js"

⚠️ Why not npx? On Windows, Claude Code currently fails to start any MCP server configured with a bare npx command (spawn ENOENT) — a known Claude Code bug (#58510). Calling node with the resolved script path sidesteps it on every OS.

Then navigate to a page in Chrome and tell Claude "look at my tab". Chrome is launched automatically on a dedicated debug profile.
