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

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 7d 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 — 94 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Set up Vibe Browser

The vibe MCP server is only a relay. It has no browser of its own: it forwards tool calls to the Vibe Chrome extension running in the user's real Chrome. Until that extension is installed and connected, every browser tool will fail.

Work through the steps below in order. Stop as soon as Step 4 verifies.

Step 1 — Install the Vibe extension

Ask the user to install the extension in Chrome, Brave, or any Chromium browser:

Chrome Web Store (recommended) https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/vibe-ai-browser-co-pilot/djodpgokbmobeclicaicnnidccoinado

Click Add to Chrome. The Vibe icon appears in the toolbar.

Developer version (if the store is blocked)

  1. Download https://github.com/VibeTechnologies/VibeWebAgent/releases/latest/download/vibe-ai-copilot-latest.zip
  2. Extract it to a permanent folder (deleting it later uninstalls the extension).
  3. Open chrome://extensions, turn on Developer mode.
  4. Click Load unpacked and select the extracted folder.

Step 2 — Turn on external control

The extension refuses external control until the user opts in:

  1. Click the Vibe icon in the Chrome toolbar.
  2. Open Settings.
  3. Enable MCP External Control.
  4. The status indicator should read Connected.

Chrome must stay open. Closing the browser drops the connection.

Step 3 — Choose local or remote

Local (default). Claude Code and Chrome are on the same machine. Nothing more to configure — the server auto-spawns a localhost relay daemon and the extension finds it.

Remote. Chrome runs on a different machine from Claude Code (for example Claude Code on a dev box, Chrome on the user's laptop). This needs no inbound port:

  1. In the extension Settings, switch to Remote mode.
  2. Copy the remote UUID it shows.
  3. Pass it to the server, either as an argument (--remote <uuid>) or via the VIBE_REMOTE_URL environment variable.

The remote UUID is the only bearer credential for that browser. Treat it like a password. Never paste it into a file the user tracks in git, and never print it back in full. If it leaks, regenerate it in extension Settings.

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.
