9Claude Code integrates with the Claude in Chrome browser extension to give you browser automation capabilities from the CLI or the [VS Code extension](/en/vs-code#automate-browser-tasks-with-chrome). Build your code, then test and debug in the browser without switching contexts.

10 

11Claude opens new tabs for browser tasks and shares your browser's login state, so it can access any site you're already signed into. Browser actions run in a visible Chrome window in real time. When Claude encounters a login page or CAPTCHA, it pauses and asks you to handle it manually.

38## How the integration works

39 

40Claude Code communicates with Chrome through the Claude in Chrome browser extension. The extension uses Chrome's [Native Messaging API](https://developer.chrome.com/docs/extensions/develop/concepts/native-messaging) to receive commands from Claude Code and execute them in your browser. This architecture lets Claude Code control browser tabs, read page content, and perform actions while you continue working in your terminal.

41 

42When Claude encounters a login page, CAPTCHA, or other blocker, it pauses and asks you to handle it. You can provide credentials for Claude to enter, or log in manually in the browser. Once you're past the blocker, tell Claude to continue and it picks up where it left off.

43 

44Claude opens new tabs for browser tasks rather than taking over existing ones. However, it shares your browser's login state, so if you're already signed into a site in Chrome, Claude can access it without re-authenticating.

45 37 

46<Note>38<Note>

47 The Chrome integration requires a visible browser window. When Claude performs browser actions, you'll see Chrome open and navigate in real time. There's no headless mode since the integration relies on your actual browser session with its login state.39 Chrome integration is not available through third-party providers like Amazon Bedrock, Google Cloud Vertex AI, or Microsoft Foundry. If you access Claude exclusively through a third-party provider, you need a separate claude.ai account to use this feature.

84 72 

85Claude opens the page, clicks into the search field, types the query, and reports the autocomplete results. This shows navigation, clicking, and typing in a single workflow.73In the [VS Code extension](/en/vs-code#automate-browser-tasks-with-chrome), Chrome is available whenever the Chrome extension is installed. No additional flag is needed.

86 74 

87## Example workflows75<Note>

76 Enabling Chrome by default in the CLI increases context usage since browser tools are always loaded. If you notice increased context consumption, disable this setting and use `--chrome` only when needed.

77</Note>

173## Best practices

174 

175When using browser automation, keep these guidelines in mind:

176 

177* **Modal dialogs can interrupt the flow**: JavaScript alerts, confirms, and prompts block browser events and prevent Claude from receiving commands. If a dialog appears, dismiss it manually and tell Claude to continue.

178* **Use fresh tabs**: Claude creates new tabs for each session. If a tab becomes unresponsive, ask Claude to create a new one.

179* **Filter console output**: Console logs can be verbose. When debugging, tell Claude what patterns to look for rather than asking for all console output.

186 172 

1871. Verify the Chrome extension (version 1.0.36 or higher) is installed1731. Verify the Chrome extension is installed and enabled in `chrome://extensions`

1882. Verify Claude Code is version 2.0.73 or higher by running `claude --version`1742. Verify Claude Code is up to date by running `claude --version`

1915. If the issue persists, restart both Claude Code and Chrome1775. If the issue persists, restart both Claude Code and Chrome

192 178 

179The first time you enable Chrome integration, Claude Code installs a native messaging host configuration file. Chrome reads this file on startup, so if the extension isn't detected on your first attempt, restart Chrome to pick up the new configuration.

180 

181If the connection still fails, verify the host configuration file exists at:

182 

183* **macOS**: `~/Library/Application Support/Google/Chrome/NativeMessagingHosts/com.anthropic.claude_code_browser_extension.json`

184* **Linux**: `~/.config/google-chrome/NativeMessagingHosts/com.anthropic.claude_code_browser_extension.json`

201### First-time setup195### Connection drops during long sessions

202 196 

203The first time you use the integration, Claude Code installs a native messaging host that allows communication between the CLI and Chrome. If you encounter permission errors, you may need to restart Chrome for the installation to take effect.197The Chrome extension's service worker can go idle during extended sessions, which breaks the connection. If browser tools stop working after a period of inactivity, run `/chrome` and select "Reconnect extension".

204 198 

205## Enable by default199### Windows-specific issues

206 200 

207Chrome integration requires the `--chrome` flag each time you start Claude Code. To enable it by default, run `/chrome` and select "Enabled by default".201On Windows, you may encounter:

208 202 

209<Note>203* **Named pipe conflicts (EADDRINUSE)**: if another process is using the same named pipe, restart Claude Code. Close any other Claude Code sessions that might be using Chrome.

210 Enabling Chrome by default increases context usage since browser tools are always loaded. If you notice increased context consumption, disable this setting and use `--chrome` only when needed.204* **Native messaging host errors**: if the native messaging host crashes on startup, try reinstalling Claude Code to regenerate the host configuration.

135 

136Slack workspace administrators control whether the Claude app is available in their workspace:

137 

138| Control | Description |

139| :--------------------------- | :---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |

140| App installation | Workspace admins decide whether to install the Claude app from the Slack App Marketplace |

141| Enterprise Grid distribution | For Enterprise Grid organizations, organization admins can control which workspaces have access to the Claude app |

142| App removal | Removing the app from a workspace immediately revokes access for all users in that workspace |

143 

144### Channel-based access control

145 

146Claude is not automatically added to any channels after installation. Users must explicitly invite Claude to channels where they want to use it:

147 

148* **Invite required**: Type `/invite @Claude` in any channel to add Claude to that channel

149* **Channel membership controls access**: Claude can only respond to @mentions in channels where it has been added

150* **Access gating through channels**: Admins can control who uses Claude Code by managing which channels Claude is invited to and who has access to those channels

151* **Private channel support**: Claude works in both public and private channels, giving teams flexibility in controlling visibility

131 152 

132Slack workspace administrators control whether the Claude app can be installed in the workspace. Individual users then authenticate with their own Claude accounts to use the integration.153This channel-based model allows teams to restrict Claude Code usage to specific channels, providing an additional layer of access control beyond workspace-level permissions.

196## Automate browser tasks with Chrome

197 

198Connect Claude to your Chrome browser to test web apps, debug with console logs, and automate browser workflows without leaving VS Code. This requires the [Claude in Chrome extension](https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/claude/fcoeoabgfenejglbffodgkkbkcdhcgfn) version 1.0.36 or higher.

199 

200Type `@browser` in the prompt box followed by what you want Claude to do:

201 

202```text theme={null}

203@browser go to localhost:3000 and check the console for errors

204```

205 

206You can also open the attachment menu to select specific browser tools like opening a new tab or reading page content.

207 

208Claude opens new tabs for browser tasks and shares your browser's login state, so it can access any site you're already signed into.
