## Description

<strong>Enables AI agents to control browser features through a local-only connection</strong>. This add-on provides AI assistants with safe access to tab management, browsing history, page search, and webpage content via a local MCP (Model Context Protocol) connection.

<strong>Security-focused design:</strong> The add-on does not support arbitrary scripting or web page modifications. Before accessing any webpage content, explicit user consent is required for each domain through browser-side permissions. This local-only, read-only permission system makes it safer for personal browser use compared to other browser automation tools.

<strong>Note:</strong> This add-on requires a separate MCP server component, which is available at the <a href="https://prod.outgoing.prod.webservices.mozgcp.net/v1/181b97259fca35bbb11f56101ee0b501444867b4399f824af352e2cd06667fb7/https%3A//github.com/eyalzh/browser-control-mcp" rel="nofollow">Github repository</a>.
