Claude in Chrome MCP Troubleshooting

Use this skill when Claude in Chrome MCP tools fail to connect or work unreliably.

When to Use

  • mcp__claude-in-chrome__* tools fail with "Browser extension is not connected"
  • Browser automation works erratically or times out
  • After updating Claude Code or Claude.app
  • When switching between Claude Code CLI and Claude.app (Cowork)
  • Native host process is running but MCP tools still fail

When NOT to Use

  • Linux or Windows users - This skill covers macOS-specific paths and tools (~/Library/Application Support/, osascript)
  • General Chrome automation issues unrelated to the Claude extension
  • Claude.app desktop issues (not browser-related)
  • Network connectivity problems
  • Chrome extension installation issues (use Chrome Web Store support)
