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 🙏

MCP server that bridges Claude Code to Google Gemini via a Chrome extension

Readme

gemini-browser-mcp

MCP server that bridges Claude Code to Google Gemini via a Chrome extension — no API key required.

Instead of using the Gemini API, it interacts with the Gemini web app directly, meaning you get all the features available in your browser: Flash, Pro, Extended thinking, uploads, and more.

Quick Start

npx gemini-browser-mcp

This runs the setup wizard, which configures Claude Code for you automatically.

Manual Setup

1. Install the Chrome Extension

Download the extension from the GitHub releases page or clone the repo and load it as an unpacked extension:

git clone https://github.com/Walkoud/gemini-browser-mcp.git

Then load the chrome-extension/ folder in Chrome:

  1. Go to chrome://extensions/
  2. Enable Developer mode (top-right toggle)
  3. Click Load unpacked and select the chrome-extension/ folder

Make sure you're logged in at gemini.google.com.

2. Configure Claude Code

npx gemini-browser-mcp

Or add it manually:

claude mcp add gemini-browser-mcp -- npx gemini-browser-mcp start

Usage

In Claude Code, use the ask_gemini_web tool to send prompts to Gemini.

Examples

ask_gemini_web 1+1
ask_gemini_10 web Explain quantum computing in simple terms
ask_gemini_web Write a haiku about MCP servers

Model Support

Whatever model you select in the Gemini web UI is what gets used — Flash, Pro, Extended thinking, etc. The extension detects the current mode and adjusts the timeout accordingly (longer for Extended thinking).

The popup also shows the active model and thinking mode at a glance.

How it works

  1. The Chrome extension connects to a local WebSocket server
  2. Claude Code sends prompts to Gemini through the web interface (content script)
  3. The extension waits for the response to appear in the DOM and relays it back
  4. No API keys needed — everything goes through your browser session
