Summary
According to a post on X by @opencode, OpenCode has released Browse, which combines an MCP server with a Chromium extension. The tool lets agents use the user's actual browser profile, including tabs, logins and extensions, through Playwright in background tab groups. Agents can hand tabs back to the user for logins, 2FA or payments, and sessions can be limited to allowlisted sites. The source says it works with OpenCode, Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, Zed and other MCP clients.

Why it matters
Developers using coding agents may gain a way to have them work inside their existing logged-in browser sessions instead of a separate clean browser.
