Questions

What is the Tabhand MCP server?

Let your coding agents use your real, signed-in Chrome, in background tabs that never steal focus. It is made by tabhand.dev and listed in the official MCP Registry as dev.tabhand/tabhand. MCP (Model Context Protocol) is the open standard that lets AI apps like Claude, ChatGPT and Cursor use outside tools.

How do I add Tabhand to Claude?

In Claude Code, run: claude mcp add tabhand -- npx -y tabhand@0.10.1

How do I add Tabhand to ChatGPT?

ChatGPT only connects to remote MCP servers, and Tabhand runs on your own computer. Use it from Claude, Cursor or another app that runs local servers.

How do I add Tabhand to Cursor?

Open Cursor settings, go to MCP, choose "Add new MCP server" (or edit ~/.cursor/mcp.json) and add: { "mcpServers": { "tabhand": { "command": "npx", "args": [ "-y", "tabhand@0.10.1" ] } } }

Does Tabhand work right now?

It runs on your own computer, so it works once you install it. There is no remote server for us to check.
