Command for Claude Code

Written for Claude Code: allowed-tools in frontmatter. Also seen: reads .claude/ paths.

Runs only inside its plugin — its command needs a path that Claude Code sets for a plugin’s own hooks and for nothing else. Install the plugin, not this.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

chromeboost-setup scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 2d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 95 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Finish ChromeBoost setup

The MCP server half of ChromeBoost is already installed (that is this plugin). What is left is the Chrome extension, the half that touches the browser. It is on the Chrome Web Store, so this is a one-click install.

Work through this now, without asking the user whether to proceed.

1. Check whether it is already done

Call list_tabs first. If it returns their tabs, the extension is installed and bound: say so and skip to the closing suggestion in step 4. Users often arrive here already set up, and walking them through an install they have finished is noise.

2. Install from the Chrome Web Store

Give them this link and ask them to click Add to Chrome:

https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/chromeboost/alphgffnpbhpfaimmaaibbcdmpmcbndo

Then have them pin ChromeBoost to the toolbar so the popup is one click away.

That is the whole install. No developer mode, no folder to keep, and it updates itself. If they would rather run from local files, see Loading unpacked instead at the bottom.

If they already had the unpacked copy loaded, they need to remove it at chrome://extensions now. Both copies connect to the same local port, the server keeps only one connection, and each new one evicts the other, so they reconnect in a loop and tool calls land on whichever won the last race. Two ChromeBoost cards on that page is the tell.

3. Connect a window

Tell them to click the ChromeBoost toolbar icon. This session should appear with a green dot on a port in the 7970-7980 range. They click Use this window next to it to bind the Chrome window they want driven.

4. Verify it actually works

Once they say it is installed, confirm the link yourself instead of taking it on trust: call list_tabs. If it returns their open tabs, setup is done. Say so plainly and suggest a first prompt, for example "open news.ycombinator.com and give me the top 5 stories".

If list_tabs errors or times out, the extension is installed but not connected. Have them reload it at chrome://extensions using the circular arrow on the ChromeBoost card. It reconnects on a backoff timer and a reload forces it immediately. Then try list_tabs again.

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
