幽霊yurei

Your AI, haunting your browser.

Yurei gives any AI coding tool a real browser. Works with every major agent and anything else that speaks MCP.

Yurei, a friendly blue ghost

Two steps

Summon it.

  1. Add Yurei to Chrome.

    One click in the Chrome Web Store. Nothing to configure in the extension.

    Open the Chrome Web Store

  2. Run this in a terminal.

    It connects to the extension, finds your AI tools and asks which ones to connect.

    npx yurei-chrome setup

    yurei-chrome on npm

Restart your AI tool. That's it, the ghost is in. Needs Node.js 18 or newer. Takes about a minute. Run it again any time to add another tool.

Then

Just ask.

Talk to your AI like you always do. When a task needs a browser, it reaches for Yurei.

  • Open my news tab and summarise the five biggest stories.

  • In my inbox, find the unread message from the bank and tell me the amount.

  • Log in to staging as the test user and check the checkout page.

Say “in my browser” when you want to be explicit.

While the ghost works, the tab glows and a Stop button appears. It should ask before doing anything on your behalf. Keep an eye on it anyway.

Compatible

Any tool. Any model.

Models that see images take screenshots when they need them. Text-only models read the page as text.

How it works

A ghost has no body.

No server.

Your AI tool talks to the extension over a local socket, using Chrome's own debugging protocol.

No account, no open port.

Nothing leaves your computer except what your AI tool already sends to its model.

No secrets.

In review

Still under seal.

The Chrome Web Store is reviewing Yurei, so the listing is not public yet.

You don't have to wait. Download the latest release from GitHub, unzip it and load the folder in chrome://extensions with Developer mode on. Then run npx yurei-chrome setup as usual.

Get it from GitHub
Add to Chrome takes you to the store the moment the listing goes live.
