Exact-profile control of your real logged-in Chrome browser: an MCP server plus MV3 extension and authenticated localhost bridge for tabs, locators, file injection, media export, and durable scroll capture, with no debug profile or remote-debugging port.
Faithful control of your real, logged-in Chrome profiles: an MCP server plus MV3 extension plus authenticated localhost bridge that lets AI agents drive the Chrome that already holds your logins, extensions and history — with no copied profiles, no debug profile, no --remote-debugging-port, no Edge and no global mouse/keyboard automation. The README positions it against the alternatives: Chrome DevTools MCP cannot target an exact profile name when several are active, Playwright/Puppeteer servers run isolated browsers without your logins unless separately provisioned, and extension-based MCPs may need separate servers and ports per profile in multi-profile setups. Chrome Faithful focuses on exact-profile, multi-profile control through a fail-closed local bridge.
Install
dsh plugin --profile web add @bpc-oss/dsh-plugin-chrome-faithful@0.4.0README "DSH first-class integration" section quoted verbatim. Honest caveat: a registry check on 2026-09-15 returns 404 for @bpc-oss/dsh-plugin-chrome-faithful, so the npm form may not be published yet — verify against the repository before installing. The project is an MCP server plus an MV3 Chrome extension plus an authenticated localhost bridge, and the README's quick start is Windows-oriented: PowerShell installers configure the extension and the Chrome CDP bridge, and the README describes the installers as transactional with SHA-256-verified, DPAPI-encrypted state.
Compatibility
Node >= 22.12 per the README badge. The documented quick-start installers are PowerShell/Windows scripts for the extension and the CDP bridge, with SHA-256-verified, DPAPI-encrypted transactional installers.

FAQ
- Does it copy my Chrome profile?
- No — the README says it drives the Chrome that already holds your logins with no copied profiles and no debug profile.
- How is it different from Playwright or Puppeteer MCP servers?
- Per the README those run deterministic isolated browsers, so existing logins, extensions and two-factor sessions are absent unless separately provisioned.
- Where is the install command?
- README's DSH integration section publishes dsh plugin --profile web add @bpc-oss/dsh-plugin-chrome-faithful@0.4.0; note that the npm registry did not resolve that name when checked on 2026-09-15, so verify before installing.
