Make sense of open pages.
Give your assistant page text, links and tab tools so it can summarize information or compare pages you allow.
“Read this page and summarize its main points.”
Your assistant. Connected.
ToolBraid connects an MCP-compatible AI assistant to your browser and Windows computer. Its extension and local companion let your assistant read permitted pages, work with forms and use local tools.
Your AI provides the reasoning. ToolBraid provides the connection and tools. No model, subscription or API credit is included.
0.2.0 RC1 · Pre-release. Chrome and Edge unpacked downloads are available. The Edge Add-ons listing is not published yet. Release status.

Built by Maharajahu.
Support is optional. ToolBraid stays free to use.
What can you do with it?
You tell your assistant what you need. ToolBraid gives it a way to inspect the page or perform the action, then returns the result.
Give your assistant page text, links and tab tools so it can summarize information or compare pages you allow.
“Read this page and summarize its main points.”
Inspect fields, fill forms, follow links and submit on permitted sites. Enabled control allows actions without repeated ToolBraid prompts.
“Fill these fields with the details I provided.”
Use companion tools for selected local files, desktop accessibility and jobs. These are broader capabilities, not just page reads.
“Inspect the file I selected and help me work with it.”
Example requests, not guaranteed support for every website or application. Your AI client and granted access determine what is available.

Understand the connection
A local connection does not mean all AI processing stays on your computer. Know which client and provider you are connecting.
Reads or acts on permitted pages. Page contents may contain private information.
Native messaging and an authenticated local pipe connect browser tools to the configured AI client.
Receives the tool results. A cloud model provider may receive that data; optional media analysis uses your configured endpoint.
After you accept direct control, your connected AI can act without repeated ToolBraid prompts, including submitting forms. Your client may apply its own approval rules. The companion also exposes file, desktop and job tools.
Pause control blocks new extension commands. It cannot undo actions already sent or guarantee that running jobs stop. Read the data-handling details.

Browser distribution
Edge Add-ons: the planned official store channel. Not published yet; RC testers can load the included extension unpacked.
Chrome: manual installation and updates through GitHub downloads. No Chrome Web Store release is planned.
All release assets, including extension-only ↗Keep the complete ZIP in a permanent folder. Close an existing ToolBraid connection, then run Install.cmd as your normal Windows user, not as administrator.
Open your browser's extensions page, enable Developer mode and use Load unpacked to select the included extension folder. Keep that folder on disk.
Use the generated %LOCALAPPDATA%\ToolBraid\public\mcp-client.json. Codex users can optionally run Configure-Codex.cmd, which backs up and updates the ToolBraid client entry.
Open the side panel, read the disclosure, select its checkbox and choose Enable on this site. Accept the browser's site-access request. Advanced tools have a separate optional permission.
The ToolBraid launcher is currently unsigned. Windows may show an unknown-publisher warning. Do not disable security protections. Checksums identify downloaded bytes; they are not a publisher signature.
ToolBraid is free to download and use; supporting the builder is optional. No AI model, subscription or API credit is included. Your chosen client or AI provider may have its own costs.
Use an AI client that supports MCP and configure the ToolBraid server. A Codex configuration helper is included. Other clients require manual setup; compatibility with every client has not been established. An ordinary chatbot website does not gain access just because the extension is installed.
No universal compatibility is promised. Website layouts, browser permissions and client capabilities matter. X actions were checked against an offline fixture, not a live account. See the release notes for completed checks and known limits.
No. The browser and companion communicate locally, but tool results go to your AI client. Its cloud provider may receive them. Optional media analysis also uses an endpoint you configure.
Use the extension and companion from the same release. Confirm that the installer completed for your browser, that the client uses the generated MCP configuration and that control is enabled for the intended site. The troubleshooting guide explains the checks without changing browser or organization security policies.
Updates are manual. Close the connection, install the new complete package and reload the matching unpacked extension. To remove it, run the installed companion uninstaller and remove the extension separately. The uninstaller preserves settings, tokens, backups and local data. Follow the update and removal instructions.
