Use it

Let an agent use your browser

Pair your Chrome with Orkestia, approve one agent session, and watch the agent read a page you chose

You finish this when an agent has read a page in your own Chrome, in a session you approved, and the session shows under Organization → Browsers.

1. Connect an assistant

Connect Claude, Claude Code, Cursor, or ChatGPT to https://mcp.orkestia.dev/mcp, as in Run a workflow from an assistant.

2. Pair your Chrome

Install the Orkestia extension, then ask the assistant:

Give me a code to pair my Chrome with Orkestia.

Click the Orkestia icon in the Chrome toolbar, enter the code and a name, and choose Connect. You can also get the code in the console under Organization → Browsers. The full steps, including how to get the extension, are in Connect your Chrome.

3. Ask for a read-only session

Pick a site you are logged in to and ask:

Open a read-only session on my browser for https://portal.example.com and tell me what the home page shows.

The side panel shows who is asking, why, the site, and until when. Choose Approve, then allow the site when Chrome asks. What each line means is in Sessions and approvals.

4. Watch it work

The agent opens its own tab in a coloured tab group and reads the page. The side panel lists each action. Press Stop at any time.

5. Check the record

In Organization → Browsers, choose Manage → View sessions on your browser. The session shows the agent, the purpose, the site, and the commands it used. Page content is not kept.

Next, let an agent act: ask for an act session. It clicks and types on its own, and asks you before anything that sends, submits, pays, deletes or uploads a file. The tools are in Agent tools.
