ego lite: MCP tool for Hermes Agent

Browser for AI agents that gives each agent its own isolated Space and shares your logged-in state

What ego lite does

ego lite is a browser built so that you and your AI agents work in parallel. Each agent runs its tasks in its own Space, an isolated workspace inside the same browser, while you keep browsing in yours. The agent reaches your real logins and tabs through ego-browser, and on first launch ego lite asks whether to migrate your Chrome data so the agent inherits logins, cookies, extensions and bookmarks.

Instead of a command loop, the capabilities are exposed as JavaScript functions that the agent calls directly, which the README says lets it compose multi-step tasks in one output with fewer tool calls and lower cost. Agents read a Snapshot, the page turned into structured text, then act on it. Installing the macOS app adds the ego-browser skill to every agent's skills directory on your machine, or you can run npx skills add citrolabs/ego-lite. You start a task by typing /ego-browser followed by a plain-language request. The README says browsing data stays on your device.
