Kitsuvo integrations

Kitsuvo integrations let Claude Code, Codex and other MCP clients drive
Kitsuvo,
a fast browser built for your LLM. Free for Mac and Windows: open a page, read it, and
explain the local evidence behind its AI-built, slop and impersonation
verdicts, or check a layout at phone, tablet and desktop sizes.
This repository holds the public installation sources: the plugin and its four
agent skills (setup, browse, evidence, responsive), the local HTTP MCP bridge,
the cloud relay connector, a Rust MCP client, and browser-extension developer
previews. The browser itself is a separate download.
Get Kitsuvo: kitsuvo.com
for Windows (64-bit) and macOS (Apple silicon and Intel). Free, no account.
First-launch prompts are explained at kitsuvo.com/install.
The plugins start the installed browser; they do not install it.
What your agent can do
| Skill | Ask | What happens |
|---|
kitsuvo-setup | "Set up Kitsuvo" | Checks the connection and explains a missing executable |
kitsuvo-codex | "Browse inside Codex with Kitsuvo evidence" | Uses Codex’s live renderer and offline Kitsuvo analysis on request; no screenshot forwarding or automatic blocking |
kitsuvo-browse | "Open example.com and read the page" | Navigates, reads page text and snapshots, clicks and types on accessible elements |
kitsuvo-evidence | "Why was this site flagged as AI-built?" | Reads Kitsuvo's report: score, identified builder, strongest signals, separate AI-built, slop and impersonation verdicts |
kitsuvo-responsive | "Check this at phone and desktop sizes" | Resizes the page to device sizes and reports layout problems |
No Kitsuvo account or API key is needed for local browsing and detection.
Additional clients
Client configs and desktop extension cover Cursor,
VS Code, Gemini CLI, Cline, Continue, LM Studio, Devin and remote workflow clients.
Registry metadata describes the opt-in authenticated endpoint.
Directory approval is separate from these install sources.
Install
| You use | Run | Guide |
|---|
| Claude Code (plugin) | claude plugin marketplace add leancoderkavy/kitsuvo-integrations then claude plugin install kitsuvo@kitsuvo-browser | Claude Code |
| Claude Code (MCP only) | claude mcp add kitsuvo -- kitsuvo mcp | Claude Code |
| Codex (plugin) | codex plugin marketplace add leancoderkavy/kitsuvo-integrations then codex plugin add kitsuvo --marketplace kitsuvo-browser | Codex |
| Codex (MCP only) | codex mcp add kitsuvo -- kitsuvo mcp | Codex |
| Gemini CLI extension | gemini extensions install https://github.com/leancoderkavy/kitsuvo-integrations --ref v0.2.9 | Other clients |
| Another stdio MCP client | {"mcpServers":{"kitsuvo":{"command":"kitsuvo","args":["mcp"]}}} | Other clients |
| ChatGPT or a cloud client, with a tunnel | cd integrations/mcp-http && npm ci --ignore-scripts && npm start | HTTP bridge |
| A cloud client, no tunnel | Start the connector in integrations/mcp-cloud | Cloud relay |
| The browser you already use | Install Kitsuvo from the Chrome Web Store or Edge Add-ons; manual previews remain available | Extension setup |
Every row except the extension needs Kitsuvo installed with kitsuvo on PATH.
If it is not on PATH, use the executable's absolute path as command and keep
the argument mcp.
Then ask: Open https://example.com in Kitsuvo and explain its detection
evidence.
Claude Code
Install Kitsuvo on Windows or macOS and make kitsuvo available on PATH.
Then run:
claude plugin marketplace add leancoderkavy/kitsuvo-integrations
claude plugin install kitsuvo@kitsuvo-browser
The local server runs in Claude Code and Cowork. It does not run on Claude web
or mobile.
Codex
codex plugin marketplace add leancoderkavy/kitsuvo-integrations
codex plugin add kitsuvo --marketplace kitsuvo-browser
The plugin includes setup, browsing, detection-evidence, and responsive skills.
Do not assume the connection is isolated from your normal sign-ins. On Mac
0.2.14, local MCP reuses the normal profile by default; add --separate-profile
to a direct MCP configuration for a separate persistent profile. Check your
installed build's browser_status and the connection guide.
The plugin requires the installed desktop browser; it does not install it.
Browser inside ChatGPT, Claude, Cursor, or T3 Code
The MCP App bridge provides an interactive browser panel with navigation,
tabs, page controls, detection evidence and Windows/macOS previews. Pages still run
in Kitsuvo on your computer. For Claude Desktop, launch
node integrations/mcp-http/server.mjs --stdio after installing that directory's
dependencies. For cloud hosts, use an authenticated tunnel or the cloud
connector's --app mode. See panel setup
and cloud setup.
Use node integrations/mcp-http/setup.mjs --host cursor --binary /absolute/path/to/kitsuvo
to print a local visual-panel configuration. Hosts claude, t3code, and
chatgpt have their own setup routes; see host setup.
T3 Code's embedded UI depends on the selected provider and build.
Other applications can mount the same panel with the typed
@kitsuvo/mcp-http/embed host SDK and an authorized MCP client. Try
npm run embed in integrations/mcp-http, then open
http://127.0.0.1:8787/embed. See embedding Kitsuvo
for lifecycle, isolation and shared-profile details.
HTTP MCP
cd integrations/mcp-http
npm ci --ignore-scripts
npm test
npm start
Node.js 22 or newer is required. The bridge binds only to loopback and is for a
secure, authenticated tunnel. Public cloud-directory submission needs a stable
HTTPS endpoint with authentication and a connection to each user's own browser.
See MCP setup.
Authenticated cloud relay
integrations/mcp-cloud includes the separate OAuth-protected cloud relay and
interactive local connector. The endpoint is
https://kitsuvo-mcp-relay.fly.dev/mcp. Connecting forwards selected page results
to the relay and the client you explicitly approve. Disconnecting revokes access.
See cloud setup for prerequisites, consent,
ephemeral-state limits and remaining publisher identity requirements.
Rust connector client
Build the standalone client with cargo build --locked --manifest-path crates/kitsuvo-connectors/Cargo.toml. It discovers and calls tools from explicitly
approved stdio and Streamable HTTP MCP servers. OAuth credentials are stored in
the macOS or Windows credential store. See connector setup
for approval syntax and current provider qualification limits.
Browser extensions
Public store installs: Get for Chrome
or Get for Edge.
These listings were verified October 14, 2026. The extension works without
installing the desktop browser.
extensions/chromium targets Chrome, Edge, Opera, Brave and Vivaldi.
extensions/firefox is for temporary Firefox installation; Mozilla signing is
required for public installs. extensions/safari needs Apple packaging and
signing. See browser setup and
kitsuvo.com/extensions.
The extension checks local builder fingerprints and optionally filters search
results. It has no cloud AI, telemetry, or desktop companion requirement.
It does not include the desktop browser's full slop or impersonation checks.
Manual packages remain developer previews. Firefox and Safari do not have
verified public listings here. Browser-store availability does not establish
approval in any AI-client directory.
Security and privacy
- Choose the profile. These local plugin configurations pass
mcp and
inherit the installed browser's default. On Mac 0.2.14 this reuses the normal
signed-in profile, including website cookies. Add --separate-profile in a
direct MCP configuration when you want a separate persistent profile. Check
browser_status for your installed build. The packages do not enable
--allow-sensitive.
- Sensitive pages are refused. Sign-in pages and password fields are not
driven.
- Local by default. The plugin adds no analytics and no Kitsuvo-hosted
upload service. Kitsuvo itself sends no telemetry.
- What the AI client sees. Tool arguments (URLs and any text you ask it to
type) go to the browser. Page text, snapshots, reports and supported
screenshots go back to the connected client, which handles them under its own
data policy. Pages can contain personal data.
- Cloud paths are opt-in. The loopback bridge is not exposed unless you put
a tunnel in front of it. The cloud relay reaches your browser only while you
run its connector and after you approve a client in your terminal.
- Evidence, not proof. AI-built is provenance, not proof of harm. A low
score is not proof of human authorship or safety.

vulnerability, see SECURITY.md.
FAQ
What is Kitsuvo? A free browser for Mac and Windows that checks visited
sites for AI-builder traces, filters likely AI-built results from Google, Bing
and DuckDuckGo, and shows the evidence behind each score. These integrations let
an AI agent use it.
Do I need an account, API key or paid plan? No. Local browsing and detection
need none. Optional cloud AI checks in the desktop app are separate.
Does installing the plugin install Kitsuvo? No. Install the desktop browser
first. The plugin runs kitsuvo mcp.
Which systems are supported? The desktop browser is for Windows (64-bit) and
macOS (Apple silicon and Intel). Screenshots are Windows-only; on macOS use
snapshots and resizing. On Linux or ChromeOS, try the
extension preview.
Can the agent use my signed-in browser? Yes, when it uses your normal
profile: that is the local MCP default on Mac 0.2.14. A separate profile must
be selected explicitly with --separate-profile. Sensitive sign-in pages and
password fields are protected by default. Page text from other signed-in pages
can still reach the connected AI client.
Does it work with ChatGPT? Through the Codex local marketplace, or a cloud
client via the HTTP bridge with a secure
tunnel or the cloud relay.
Is it listed in the Claude, ChatGPT or browser-extension stores? Chrome
and Edge have the public extension listings linked above. That is separate
from AI-client directory approval; no such approval is established here. The
local Claude Code and Codex plugin install routes use this repository.
Can it prove a site was written by AI? No. It reports builder evidence and
separates AI-built, low-value content and impersonation. Detection depends on
recognizable traces.
Can I fork or redistribute this? The
Kitsuvo Integration License allows personal use and local
configuration changes. Other modification or redistribution needs written
permission from hello@kitsuvo.com.
