# AIPex Browser Control

AIPex is a Chrome extension that exposes 30+ browser automation tools over the Model Context Protocol (MCP). Once connected, the agent can control any Chrome tab using natural language, clicking, typing, navigating, capturing screenshots, downloading content, and more.

**Architecture:**
```
Agent (MCP client) ──stdio──▶ aipex-mcp-bridge ──WebSocket──▶ AIPex Chrome Extension ──▶ Browser APIs
```

## When to Use This Skill

Use this skill when the user wants to:

- Navigate to URLs, click links, fill forms, or interact with any web page
- Automate multi-step browser workflows
- Extract or download data from web pages
- Capture screenshots of browser tabs
- Manage multiple tabs across browser windows
- Perform browser-assisted testing (accessibility, UX, regression)

---

## Prerequisites

- **AIPex Chrome extension** installed (available on the Chrome Web Store or via developer build)
- **Node.js >= 18** installed on the local machine

The user is assumed to have AIPex installed. The agent only needs to complete the two connection steps below.

---

## Step 1: Register the MCP Server

Add the following to the agent's MCP configuration. No manual installation is needed, `npx` downloads and runs `aipex-mcp-bridge` automatically.

### Cursor (`.cursor/mcp.json`)

```json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "aipex-browser": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "aipex-mcp-bridge"]
    }
  }
}
```

### Claude Desktop (`claude_desktop_config.json`)

```json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "aipex-browser": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "aipex-mcp-bridge"]
    }
  }
}
```

### Claude Code (CLI)

```bash
claude mcp add aipex-browser -- npx -y aipex-mcp-bridge
```

### VS Code Copilot (`.vscode/mcp.json`)

```json
{
  "servers": {
    "aipex-browser": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "aipex-mcp-bridge"]
    }
  }
