Show HN: Deputy – let Claude Code or Codex use your logged-in Chrome

RazinAI released Deputy, a Chrome extension plus MCP plugin that lets coding agents including Claude Code, Codex, Gemini CLI, GitHub Copilot CLI, Cursor and VS Code operate the user's already-logged-in browser, turning the open page into typed tools so a whole form is one call and no screenshot is needed. Deputy requires Node.js 20 or later and runs locally on 127.0.0.1, with a free tier of 10 tools and a Pro tier at $9.99 a month or $95.99 a year offering all 27 tools plus 5,000 hosted actions a month (500 a day) and a 14-day refund window. On forms that change something, such as a payment, post or booking, Deputy fills the form but asks the user before submitting, both on the page and in Claude Code.

Deputy lets your coding agent (Claude Code, Codex, Gemini CLI, Copilot, Cursor and more) use the browser you already have open, signed in as you. It turns the page in front of you into typed tools: a whole form is one call, and the page never has to be screenshotted to be understood.

Add the Deputy extension to Chrome (or Edge, Brave and other Chromium browsers):Chrome Web Store . Pin it to your toolbar. 2. Add the plugin in Claude Code:

/plugin marketplace add RazinAI/deputy
/plugin install deputy@razin

Run /deputy:setup . Claude checks that Deputy is connected and tells you what is missing, if anything.

Deputy needs Node.js 20 or later; the plugin starts it with npx -y deputy-mcp. Once installed, Deputy works in every project.

Added Deputy before with claude mcp add? Remove that entry, so Deputy doesn't run twice: claude mcp remove deputy (add --scope user if you added it that way).

This repo also installs in agents that read Claude Code plugins, and as a Gemini CLI extension. Step 1 above (the Chrome extension) is the same for all of them.

  • "Use Deputy to fill this form with my details from notes.md"
  • "What's the cheapest result on my open tab?"
  • "Open my GitHub repositories and list the five most recently updated"
  • With Pro: "Check the page at localhost:3000 on a phone-sized screen and fix anything that overflows"

On a form that changes something (a payment, a post, a booking), Deputy fills it and asks you before submitting: on the page itself, and in Claude Code. While Claude works in a tab, a small panel in the corner shows each call and Deputy's answer.

Deputy runs on your computer: pages, form values and cookies go only between your browser and the Deputy program on 127.0.0.1, and from there to Claude. With Pro, when Claude asks Deputy's hosted models to read a page (browser_ask, delegate_goal), the page text and question go to our server and a zero-data-retention model; a screenshot goes only if you switch that on (browser_look). We store neither. Details: privacy policy.
