Tabpilot MCP Overview

The hunglp97/tabpilot-mcp MCP server connects AI agents to an existing, logged-in Google Chrome session rather than launching a blank browser. It reads pages with selector-based and link-density extraction, clicks elements, fills modern SPA forms, handles survey grids, and captures screenshots from background tabs. Use it for authenticated workflows involving SSO, saved cookies, React interfaces, or long-running headless Ubuntu deployments. Chrome can connect through CDP, while macOS also supports an AppleScript fallback.

Primary Use Cases for Tabpilot MCP:
  • Automate authenticated Chrome workflows without re-entering SSO credentials
  • Read targeted sections of long pages within a limited token budget
  • Fill React forms and multi-row survey grids
  • Operate Chrome on a headless Ubuntu server
