✨ What is this?

IRA-RESEARCHER is an MCP (Model Context Protocol) server that gives AI assistants full control of a Chrome browser. It works with Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor, VS Code Copilot, OpenCode, Windsurf, Aider, Cline, and any tool that supports MCP.

40 tools — navigate, click, type, screenshot, read pages, inspect elements, run JavaScript, intercept requests, and more
👻 Ghost panel — real-time overlay showing every action in the browser
🛡️ Stealth mode — anti-detection evasions to avoid bot blocks
🔧 Full DevTools — console, network, performance, storage, accessibility audit
🏃 Auto browser launch — opens Chrome automatically, no extension needed
🔑 Zero API keys — runs locally, no cloud dependency

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "ira-researcher": {

      "command": "node",
      "args": ["C:\\path\\to\\IRA-RESEARCHER\\src\\index.js"],
      "env": {
        "IRA_HEADLESS": "false",
        "IRA_WINDOW": "maximize",

        "IRA_WINDOW": "maximize",
        "IRA_GHOST": "true"

      IRA_GHOST: "true"

Or via CLI:

aider --mcp-server ira-researcher node C:\path\to\IRA-RESEARCHER\src\index.js

~/.config/zed/settings.json → add to context_servers:

{
  "context_servers": {

Any MCP-compatible tool uses this JSON:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "ira-researcher": {
      "command": "node",
      "args": ["C:\\path\\to\\IRA-RESEARCHER\\src\\index.js"],
      "env": {
        "IRA_HEADLESS": "false",
        "IRA_WINDOW": "maximize",
        "IRA_GHOST": "true"
      }
    }
  }
}

3. Use

The 43 tools appear automatically: ira_navigate, ira_click, ira_screenshot, etc.

🧰 Tools (43)

Category	Tools
Navigation	`ira_navigate`, `ira_go_back`, `ira_go_forward`, `ira_reload`
Interaction	`ira_click`, `ira_type`, `ira_hover`, `ira_drag`, `ira_upload`, `ira_select`, `ira_keyboard`
Vision & Reading	`ira_screenshot`, `ira_element_screenshot`, `ira_extract_images`, `ira_get_state`, `ira_read_page`, `ira_find`, `ira_extract_text`, `ira_extract_table`, `ira_get_html`
Tabs	`ira_tabs`, `ira_switch_tab`, `ira_close_tab`, `ira_new_tab`
Debug & DevTools	`ira_console`, `ira_network`, `ira_javascript`, `ira_inspect_element`, `ira_get_styles`, `ira_performance`, `ira_storage`, `ira_network_timing`, `ira_audit_accessibility`
Utility	`ira_wait`, `ira_scroll`, `ira_set_viewport`, `ira_cookies`, `ira_pdf`, `ira_intercept`
Instance Management	`ira_shutdown`, `ira_instances`, `ira_kill_instance`, `ira_kill_all`
Health & Status	`ira_health`

⚙️ Environment Variables

Variable	Default	Description
`IRA_HEADLESS`	`false`	Run browser in headless mode
`IRA_WINDOW`	`auto`	Window sizing: `maximize`, `auto` (detect screen), or `WxH` like `1280x800`
`IRA_GHOST`	`true`	Enable ghost overlay UI
`IRA_STEALTH`	`true`	Enable anti-detection measures
`IRA_PROXY`	``	Proxy URL or comma-separated pool
`IRA_PROXY_ROTATE`	`false`	Auto-rotate proxies randomly
`IRA_DEBUG`	`false`	Enable verbose debug logging

Window visibility: Set IRA_HEADLESS=false + IRA_WINDOW=maximize to open a maximized, focused Chrome window on Windows. The browser auto-detects your screen work area and uses --start-maximized to bypass OS focus-steal blocks.

👻 Ghost Effects

When enabled, a floating panel appears on the right side of the browser showing all actions in real-time:

▶️ Action (green) — navigation, clicks
💭 Thought (orange) — reasoning
✅ Success (green) — completed actions
❌ Error (red) — failures
🟠 Click ripples — orange expanding circles at click points
🟢 Typing glow — green glow on active input fields
🔴 Drag arrows — animated SVG path from start to end
📸 Screenshot flash — brief white flash

Toggle panel: Ctrl+Shift+I
