The MCP Browser Tabs Server allows you to interact with Google Chrome browser tabs on macOS.
Retrieve open tabs: Use the
get_tabstool to fetch all open tabs, displaying their titles, URLs, and identifying window/tab indices grouped by window.Close specific tabs: Use the
close_tabtool to close a specific tab by providing its window and tab index (both starting from 1).
Note: When closing multiple tabs, start from the highest index numbers to avoid index shifting, and use get_tabs afterward to confirm changes.
Allows retrieving information about and controlling currently open Chrome tabs, including listing all open tabs with their titles and URLs, and closing specific tabs by window and tab indices.
Designed specifically for macOS due to its dependency on AppleScript for interacting with Chrome tabs.
