Install

Add this to your client's MCP configuration (Claude Desktop: claude_desktop_config.json; Cursor: .cursor/mcp.json; VS Code and others use the same "mcpServers" shape).

NPM package @dominion525/familiar-mcp
Claude Code 
claude mcp add familiar-mcp -- npx -y @dominion525/familiar-mcp@0.1.2
JSON configuration (Claude Desktop, Cursor, VS Code) 
{
    "mcpServers": {
        "familiar-mcp": {
            "command": "npx",
            "args": [
                "-y",
                "@dominion525/familiar-mcp@0.1.2"
            ]
        }

familiar

Control your real macOS Chrome via AppleScript — no DevTools Protocol, no Playwright.

A Claude Code skill that drives Google Chrome on macOS through AppleScript (Apple Events). It uses your everyday browser instead of a headless/automated one, so pages behind bot/WAF defenses tend to treat it as a normal user.

What it does

Everything is tab-scoped (windowId + tabId); it never relies on the "active tab".

  • list_tabs / new_tab / new_incognito_tab / close_tab — tab management (new_tab uses a normal window, new_incognito_tab an incognito one)
  • active_tab / window_mode / is_loading — inspect active tab / window mode / tab loading state
  • navigate / get_tab_url — navigation
  • reload / go_back / go_forward / stop — history & reload control
  • wait_for_load / wait_for_selector / wait_for_function — wait for page load / element / a JS condition
  • get_html — get the current DOM as HTML
  • get_text / get_attribute / get_value / exists / query_all — read element text / attribute / value / presence / all matches
  • click / fill / clear / select_option / set_checked / press_key / submit / scroll_into_view — interact with elements and forms
  • execute_js / execute_js_file — run arbitrary JavaScript (use the file form for complex scripts)

Selectors accept CSS (default), text=, xpath=, and label= forms.

Prerequisites

  • macOS with Google Chrome
  • Enable Chrome's "Allow JavaScript from Apple Events" (View → Developer → Allow JavaScript from Apple Events)
  • Approve the Automation permission prompt on first run

Install

Claude Code plugin
/plugin marketplace add dominion525/familiar
/plugin install familiar@familiar

For local development / testing:

/plugin marketplace add /path/to/familiar
/plugin install familiar@familiar
Vercel Skills (agent-skills)
npx skills add dominion525/familiar

This places the skill under ~/.agents/skills/familiar/. Any client that follows the agent-skills spec (Claude Code, Cursor, and others) picks it up automatically. The registry is at https://skills.sh.

MCP server

The mcp/ directory contains an MCP server implementation (TypeScript) that exposes the same 32 actions to any MCP-compatible client (Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Cursor, Codex CLI, and others).

Quick install (Claude Code):

claude mcp add familiar -- npx @dominion525/familiar-mcp@latest

See mcp/README.md for full per-client install and configuration.

Standalone (no install)

The script also runs standalone, without installing the skill:

osascript skills/familiar/familiar.applescript list_tabs

See skills/familiar/SKILL.md for full usage.
