Actionbook MCP Server: Setup for Claude, Cursor and Other Apps
Lets Claude, ChatGPT or Perplexity operate websites in your own Chrome, using the accounts you are already logged in to.
Actionbook is a hosted connector paired with a Chrome extension. Your assistant talks to the hosted endpoint, and the extension carries out the clicks and typing in your real Chrome, so sites see your normal logged-in session.
You need the free Chrome extension and an Actionbook sign-in from its dashboard. The README marks the older standalone command-line package as deprecated, so use the connector route. Before you start, know that the assistant can act as you on any site your Chrome is signed in to.
Good for
- People who want an assistant to work inside sites they are logged in to
- Researchers collecting data from many pages at once
- Anyone repeating the same web task with new inputs

Tools
Looks up how a site works, then drives your Chrome to do it
One tool with sub-commands. Some look up a guide for a website, and others control your real Chrome: open a page, read it, click and type. The assistant learns the full command list from the tool once connected.
Try: “Open stripe.com, linear.app and vercel.com, then grab the pricing from each.”

- Delete things
- Read-only mode
Watch out for
It acts as you on any site you are logged in to
The tool clicks, types and fills forms in your real Chrome session, so it can send messages or place orders where you are signed in. The README documents no read-only mode, so watch what it does and log out of sensitive sites first. github.com
Page content passes through a hosted service
Your assistant connects to Actionbook's hosted endpoint, which drives the extension. Pages you open with it are handled outside your computer, so avoid private pages you would not share with a third party. github.com
The Chrome extension is required
The connector does nothing without the extension from the Chrome Web Store, and it works only in Chrome. github.com
