About Ghostlight in Browser

Ghostlight lets AI agents work in the Chromium browser you already use -- with your signed-in sessions, visible actions, local control, and optional policy guardrails. Connect Claude Code, Cursor, VS Code, Codex, and other compatible MCP clients to a clearly labeled automation tab group in your real browser. Agents can navigate pages, read content, click, type, fill forms, manage tabs, inspect developer information, and complete multi-step browser tasks while you watch. Ghostlight is local-first. The extension communicates directly with the Ghostlight application installed on your computer. There is no developer-operated service, telemetry, advertising, tracking, or data sale. You remain in control. Run Ghostlight unrestricted or apply local domain and capability policies. Pause automation, take the wheel, or stop it at any time. Requires the local Ghostlight application: https://sylin.org/ghostlight/ Source and documentation: https://github.com/sylin-org/ghostlight
