New open-source tool connects browser AI chats directly to local code

r/OpenSourceAIJun 10, 2026 · 21h ago

A developer created a free tool that links web-based AI chats to your local computer. It lets you brainstorm in the browser while the AI directly writes and runs code on your machine.

Normally, developers have to copy and paste code between their browser chat and their local coding environment. This new open-source tool acts as a bridge using MCP. It allows a web browser chat session to control Claude Code running locally. This means you can plan a feature in the browser and the AI can immediately execute the changes on your computer without manual copying.

Key points

  • Connects web AI chats directly to local development environments.
  • Eliminates the need to copy and paste code between windows.
  • Uses MCP to let the browser safely control local Claude Code.
  • Great for solo developers wanting a smoother coding workflow.
