Optimize Toolset

I’ve always been into building performant and accessible sites, but lately I’ve been taking it extremely seriously. So much so that I’ve been building a tool to help me optimize and monitor the sites that I build to make sure that I’m making an attempt to offer the best experience to those who visit them. If you’re into performant, accessible and SEO friendly sites, you might like it too! You can check it out at Optimize Toolset.

About

Hi, 👋, I’m Ryan Hefner  and I built this site for me, and you! The goal of this site was to provide an easy way for me to check the stats on my npm packages, both for prioritizing issues and updates, and to give me a little kick in the pants to keep up on stuff.

As I was building it, I realized that I was actually using the tool to build the tool, and figured I might as well put this out there and hopefully others will find it to be a fast and useful way to search and browse npm packages as I have.

If you’re interested in other things I’m working on, follow me on Twitter or check out the open source projects I’ve been publishing on GitHub.

I am also working on a Twitter bot for this site to tweet the most popular, newest, random packages from npm. Please follow that account now and it will start sending out packages soon–ish.

Open Software & Tools

This site wouldn’t be possible without the immense generosity and tireless efforts from the people who make contributions to the world and share their work via open source initiatives. Thank you 🙏

Readme

mcp-chrome-scalemaker-bridge

Node.js Native Messaging host that connects Claude Code (or any MCP client) to your live Chrome browser via the auto-chrome-mcp extension.

This is the auto-chrome-mcp fork of mcp-chrome-bridge, adding Force Reconnect, a Playwright CDP fallback launcher, dynamic-port negotiation, and self-healing diagnostics.

Install

npm install -g mcp-chrome-scalemaker-bridge

The postinstall step will:

  1. Register the Chrome Native Messaging host (user-level, no sudo).
  2. Download the matching Chrome extension to ~/Downloads/mcp-chrome-scalemaker-extension-v<version>/.
  3. Print the next-step instructions for loading the extension and wiring chrome-mcp-stdio into your .mcp.json.

Wire into Claude Code

Paste this into Claude Code once after install:

Register chrome-mcp-stdio in .mcp.json with command: "node", args: ["<npm root -g>/mcp-chrome-scalemaker-bridge/dist/mcp/mcp-server-stdio.js"], env: { "CHROME_PORT": "12320" }. Run npm root -g first to resolve the path. Preserve any existing servers.

Then run /mcp in Claude Code to confirm chrome-mcp-stdio is connected.

Load the Chrome extension

  1. Open chrome://extensions
  2. Enable Developer mode
  3. Click Load unpacked and select ~/Downloads/mcp-chrome-scalemaker-extension-v<version>/

The extension ID is fixed at aogfhfajjknomcnmlkbjmihjbknlhbbi via a pinned manifest.key, so every install gets the same ID.

Diagnostics

mcp-chrome-scalemaker-bridge doctor        # health check
mcp-chrome-scalemaker-bridge doctor --fix  # attempt auto-repair
mcp-chrome-scalemaker-bridge report --copy # copy a diagnostic report to clipboard
