# Your AI, haunting *your* browser.

Yurei gives any AI coding tool a real browser. Works with every major agent and anything else that speaks MCP.

Two steps

## Summon it.

1. 
### Add Yurei to Chrome.One click in the Chrome Web Store. Nothing to configure in the extension.
2. 
### Run this in a terminal.It connects to the extension, finds your AI tools and asks which ones to connect. `npx yurei-chrome setup`

Restart your AI tool. That's it, the ghost is in. Needs Node.js 18 or newer. Takes about a minute. Run it again any time to add another tool.

Then

## Just ask.

Talk to your AI like you always do. When a task needs a browser, it reaches for Yurei.

- Open my news tab and summarise the five biggest stories.
- In my inbox, find the unread message from the bank and tell me the amount.
- Log in to staging as the test user and check the checkout page.

Say **“in my browser”** when you want to be explicit.

Compatible

## Any tool. Any model.

- opencode
- pi
- Cursor
- Windsurf
- Codex CLI
- any MCP client

Models that see images take screenshots when they need them. Text-only models read the page as text.

How it works

## A ghost has no body.

### No server.

Your AI tool talks to the extension over a local socket, using Chrome's own debugging protocol.

### No account, no open port.

Nothing leaves your computer except what your AI tool already sends to its model.

### No secrets.
