Control the user's Chrome browser via mcp__browser__ tools: snapshots, clicks, typing, batch list operations, multi-step flows, and tab lifecycle. Use when a task needs real browser state — logged-in sessions, open tabs, visible UI (e.g. "click every chat in my list", "fill this checkout form", "open this in my browser and check it", "continue the tab I handed off"). Prefer web_fetch/web_search for plain reading.
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# Browser Control ## Stop: local_shell is not a reliable path to user-local files `local_shell` runs on the user's machine **only if they have the `starchild agent-shell` daemon installed, running, and authorized** — most users do not, so the tool is usually unavailable or denied. `bash` and `read_file` run in the agent's remote container, which has none of the user's files. Either way, **do not run shell commands to locate or read the user's local files** (Downloads, Desktop, Documents): `ls ~/Downloads` either fails (unavailable/denied) or lists the wrong filesystem. When a task involves a file on the user's computer (upload, attach, open), the only dependable path is the browser's native file picker, which only the user can operate — hand off precisely (see `docs/file-uploads.md`). Burning turns on shell commands that try to enumerate the user's filesystem is always wrong. ## Stop: decide the surface before any browser action Use the `mcp__browser__*` tools only when the task has **explicit browser intent**: the user asks to open, show, navigate to, click on, or fill in a page in *their* browser; the task depends on their logged-in sessions or existing tabs; or they …

How to install
mdr add starchild-ai-agent/official-skills/control-browser@sha256:8926a6f964bedb85The line at the top of this page pins the label v1.3.0, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
