Deputy Launches: Enabling Coding Agents Like Claude Code to Directly Reuse Logged-In Chrome Browsers
Show HN: Deputy – let Claude Code or Codex use your logged-in Chrome
Deputy has released a browser extension and plugin that enables coding agents such as Claude Code, Codex, and Gemini CLI to directly interact with a user's logged-in Chrome browser. By converting web forms directly into typed tool calls without relying on screenshot parsing, the tool runs locally to protect data privacy. It offers a free tier with 10 basic tools, alongside a Pro subscription featuring 27 tools and hosted page-analysis models.
Through its extension and protocol, the tool allows coding agents to directly reuse authenticated browser sessions, eliminating the traditional approach of relying on screenshots to interpret web pages.
