Overview

PinchTab is a small standalone server written in Go that lets AI agents control Chrome through an HTTP API. It can be installed as a background daemon so several agent tools share the same browser control layer, and it starts a default headless Chrome instance. It is meant mainly for local, single-user use, and it can also manage multiple browser instances for automation and scraping.

Key features

  • HTTP API for controlling Chrome from AI agents
  • Installs as a user-level background daemon
  • Starts a default headless Chrome instance
