What is izan.io?
izan.io is a Chrome extension that turns your browser into an MCP server. Any MCP client - Claude Desktop, Cursor, VS Code, Claude Code - can connect and control your browser through tools.
- Write tools in JavaScript using the
browserAPI (click, type, navigate, extract data) - Install tools from the zihin.io community marketplace
- Your sessions stay yours - the extension runs inside your authenticated browser, no cookie hacks needed
Quick Start
1. Install the Chrome Extension from the Chrome Web Store.
2. Add to your MCP client config:
{
"mcpServers": {
"izan": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["izan-mcp"]
}
}
}
Works with Claude Desktop, Cursor, VS Code, Claude Code, and any MCP client that supports stdio.
3. Done. The extension connects automatically. Built-in tools (web_fetch, accessibility_snapshot) are ready to use. Open the side panel to create your own tools or install from the marketplace.

Writing Tools
Tools are JavaScript async functions with a browser API:
async (params, browser) => {
await browser.open(`https://example.com/search?q=${params.query}`)
await browser.waitForSelector('.result')
const title = await browser.getText('.result:first-child .title')
await browser.close()
return { title }
}
Create tools in the extension side panel or submit to the zihin.io marketplace.
Development
git clone https://github.com/ekingunoncu/izan.io.git
cd izan.io
npm install
npm run build
Load packages/extension/dist as an unpacked extension in Chrome (chrome://extensions, developer mode).
