I wanted Claude Code to work on sites I’m signed in to (GitHub, my own dashboards) without pasting passwords or cookies into it. So I built ridealong : a self-hosted Chrome I sign in to once through a web viewer. Claude Code connects with chrome-devtools-mcp: claude mcp add browser – npx -y chrome-devtools-mcp@latest \ –wsEndpoint ws://127.0.0.1:9230/default/research-bot/devtools/browser Each agent only sees the tabs it opened, not mine or other agents’. I can watch what it’s doing from the viewer, including on my phone, and if a site asks for a confirmation or a sign-in check, I answer it myself and the agent continues. Other bits: - Separate workspaces (personal / work); idle ones shut Chrome down after 10 minutes and wake in ~2 s - Activity feed + live thumbnails of every agent’s tabs; disconnect or block any agent - Also works with Codex, any MCP client, Playwright, Puppeteer Agents act with your logins, so only connect ones you trust and keep the agent port private. MIT, self-hosted, no root. Demo (42 s): https://ridealong.kz3.dev/ Repo: https://github.com/killerz3/ridealong Happy to hear feedback on setup or the docs. submitted by /u/killer_z3
