The Problem
I wanted Claude to help me with browser tasks — check prices on a page, fill out a form, summarize an article I had open. Simple stuff.
But every existing solution had a dealbreaker:
- Playwright MCP opens a separate Chromium browser. My logins? Gone. My cookies? Gone. My 47 open tabs? Nowhere to be found.
- Chrome extensions don't work with Safari (my daily driver on macOS).
- Copy & paste works, but doing it 50 times a day is soul-crushing.
I just wanted AI to use my real Safari — the one with all my tabs, sessions, and logged-in accounts.
So I built it.
The Solution: Claude for Safari
Claude for Safari is a skill for Claude Code that gives your AI agent full control over Safari using nothing but macOS built-in tools.
No browser extensions. No separate browser. No dependencies to install.

After installing, you can say things like:
- "What tabs do I have open?"
- "Read the article in my current tab and summarize it"
- "Fill in the search box and click submit"
- "Take a screenshot of this page"

If you're building AI agents and want them to interact with a real browser instead of a headless sandbox, give it a try. I'd love to hear what use cases you come up with.
