👆 MCP Pointer
Point to browser DOM elements for agentic coding tools via MCP!
MCP Pointer is a local tool combining an MCP Server with a Chrome Extension:
- 🖥️ MCP Server (Node.js package) - Bridges between the browser and AI tools via the Model Context Protocol
- 🌐 Chrome Extension - Captures DOM element selections in the browser using
Option+Click
The extension lets you visually select DOM elements in the browser, and the MCP server makes this textual context available to agentic coding tools like Claude Code, Cursor, and Windsurf through standardized MCP tools.
