Quick Start

Get Chrome ACP running in just a few minutes.

Prerequisites

  • Node.js 18+ (or Bun)
  • A supported AI agent (we'll use Claude Code in this guide)

Step 1: Install

Install the proxy server and an ACP agent:

npm install -g @chrome-acp/proxy-server @anthropic-ai/claude-code @zed-industries/claude-code-acp

Step 2: Start the Proxy

acp-proxy --no-auth claude-code-acp

You should see output like:

  ACP Proxy Server

  Open in browser:
    Local:   http://localhost:9315/app

  Agent: claude-code-acp
  CWD:   /your/current/directory

  Press Ctrl+C to stop

Step 3: Open the Web Client

Open http://localhost:9315 in your browser.

That's it! You can now chat with Claude Code through your browser.

Using the Chrome Extension

For full browser control (reading tabs, executing scripts), install the Chrome extension:

  1. Download chrome-extension.zip from Releases
  2. Unzip the file
  3. Go to chrome://extensions in Chrome
  4. Enable Developer mode (toggle in top right)
  5. Click Load unpacked and select the unzipped folder
  6. Click the extension icon → Connect to your running proxy
