About ChromeWalk

ChromeWalk is an MCP server published by the GitHub account chromewalk. Local browser automation for AI agents: real-browser fetch, capture, smoke tests, cross-engine QA.

It runs on your own machine: your AI client starts it from the MCP bundle package ChromeWalk-Claude-Extension.mcpb, with no version pinned.

It asks for one secret: CHROMEWALK_LICENSE. Give it a key with the least access that still works.

Version 14.0.1 was published on 15 October 2026, and the source code is public, so you can read it before installing.

Written from the registry entry. 7 automated checks on registry metadata: 3 pass, 1 warn, 0 fail, 3 info. How we check.

What it asks for

VariableRequiredSecretDescription
CHROMEWALK_LICENSENoYesLicense key (sign up at https://api.chromewalk.com/register.html or run `chromewalk register <your-email>`). Read once when the MCP server starts and used to activate this device if it is not already activated (the same value as the bundle's license_key setting). Alternatively run `chromewalk activate <key>`. Without an activated license every licensed tool call returns a license-required error.
CHROMEWALK_DATA_DIRNoNoOptional per-process data directory (profiles, output, logs, license state). Defaults to %LOCALAPPDATA%\ChromeWalk on Windows, ~/Library/Application Support/ChromeWalk on macOS.
