MCP server + browser sidecar extension that lets AI agents run Google AI Mode searches using your own logged-in browser session
MCP server + browser sidecar extension that lets AI agents run Google AI Mode searches using your own logged-in browser session, then return the synthesized answer and citations as an MCP tool result.
No headless browser, no stealth tricks, no CAPTCHA fighting. Your real browser profile does the work.
You need three things: the MCP server, the native-messaging host, and either the Firefox or Chromium extension. Then wire the server into your agent.
The stable npm release is 0.1.6. Pin it in agent configs if you want the same server every time instead of whatever npm's latest tag points at later.
If you prefer installing straight from GitHub, pin the stable commit:
That commit is the same stable 0.1.6 release. GitHub installs run the package's prepare script, so the TypeScript server is built from source before npm runs the anima-use-google bin.
The MCP server talks to the sidecar over localhost; it does not bundle a browser.
2. Set up a browser sidecar (one-time, non-npm)
The npm tarball ships everything you need. After the first npx anima-use-google@0.1.6, the files live in ~/.npm/npx//nodemodules/anima-use-google/. For setup, cloning is usually easier:
This writes the Firefox native-host registration for your OS:
- Linux: ~/.mozilla/native-messaging-hosts/com.google.ai.search.json - macOS: ~/Library/Application Support/Mozilla/NativeMessagingHosts/com.google.ai.search.json - Windows: HKCU\Software\Mozilla\NativeMessagingHosts\com.google.ai.search, pointing at %USERPROFILE%\.anima-use-google\com.google.ai.search.json
