WHAT IT DOES: 18 MCP tools that give Claude direct control of Brandon's REAL
logged-in Chrome browser. Not headless. Not Playwright. Uses
actual session cookies, saved accounts, browsing history — all
the digital life that's already there.
Proven: Read live Instagram post word-for-word. 107 likes.
22 comments. No screenshot. Session 171.

MCP SERVER (auto-starts via Claude Code):
Config: `~/Desktop/Claude's House/.mcp.json`
Entry: `"opendia": { "command": "node", "args": ["...opendia-mcp/server.js"] }`
WS: localhost:5555
HTTP: localhost:5556
CHROME EXTENSION (load once, stays loaded):
Path: `06_📦_PROJECTS/opendia/opendia-extension/dist/chrome/`
How: chrome://extensions/ → Developer mode → Load unpacked → select that folder
Check: Click OpenDia icon in Chrome toolbar — should show "Connected to MCP server"
VERIFICATION:
When both are running, `mcp__opendia__tab_list` returns your live tabs.

Chrome Extension (background.js service worker)

Content Script (content.js) — injected into every page

```
KEY INSIGHT: The extension runs inside Chrome with full access to your
authenticated session. Claude never touches raw credentials — it just
asks the browser to do things the way you would.

ANTI-DETECTION TECH: `document.execCommand("insertText")` — React synthetic
event bypass. React 16+ uses synthetic events; execCommand fires native DOM
events that sidestep state management detection. Deprecated in spec but kept
alive in Chrome by Google Docs dependency. Low breakage risk.

Three surgical edits made to the upstream code (Session 171):
**PATCH 1 — Instagram Bypass** (`content.js`)
Added `"instagram.com"` entry to `ANTI_DETECTION_PLATFORMS` with selector map,
`instagramDirectBypass()` method (focus → click → clear → execCommand +
InputEvent chain + 800ms wait), and `case "instagram_direct":` in switch.
**PATCH 2 — Chrome MV3 Keep-Alive** (`background.js` + `manifest-chrome.json`)
Chrome MV3 service workers go dormant after 30s. Added `chrome.alarms` that
fires every 25s. If socket is OPEN → sends ping. If not OPEN → reconnects.
Added `"alarms"` to manifest permissions.
**PATCH 3 — WebSocket Race Condition Fix** (`background.js`)
CANONICAL BUG: `ensureConnection()` always called `await this.connect()` for
Chrome, creating socket B while socket A (that delivered the message) was still
active. Socket B would be CONNECTING when the reply tried to send → silent drop.
THREE FIXES:
1. `ensureConnection()` → only creates new socket if current isn't OPEN
2. `onmessage` → captures `replySocket = this.mcpSocket` before any async
3. `handleMCPRequest(message, replySocket)` → uses captured socket for all replies

HERALD INTEGRATION (primary mission)
Brandon writes content → Claude transforms tonally per platform → posts via
logged-in session. No API keys, no app approval, no developer account needed.
Pattern: `element_fill` (text) + `element_click` (submit button)
BROWSER RESEARCH LOOPS
Open tabs, navigate pages, extract content, synthesize — without Brandon
copy-pasting anything. Full research autonomy.
Pattern: `tab_create` → `page_navigate` → `page_extract_content` → repeat
APP TESTING (THE_TOWER / THE_FOUNDRY)
Navigate localhost:3033 or localhost:3000. Click through UI. Report what
actually renders vs what the code says should render.
Pattern: `page_navigate("localhost:3033")` → `page_analyze` → `element_click`
DESIGN REVIEW
No more screenshots. Navigate to any page, extract the real DOM structure,
get actual rendered text and element states.
HISTORY MINING
`get_history` finds anything Brandon has ever browsed — articles, repos,
reference material, that thing he read three Tuesdays ago.

- **Extension must be loaded from `dist/chrome/` — NOT `src/`.** The `src/`
directory is the source; `dist/chrome/` is the built output. If you load
from src, the polyfill won't be present and it will fail silently.
- **Chrome MV3 service worker can still go dormant** despite the keep-alive
alarm. If `tab_list` returns an error or "not connected," the service worker
has died. Fix: click the OpenDia icon in the Chrome toolbar to wake it, or
go to chrome://extensions/ and click "service worker" link to inspect it.
The alarm will reconnect automatically once the worker is awake.
- **After reloading the extension, reload any tabs you want to control.**
Content scripts only inject at page load time. Tabs open before the extension
loads won't have the content script active.
- **Background tab operations work but require explicit `tab_id`.** Use
`tab_list` first, capture the tab ID, then pass it to other tools. Don't
assume the active tab is the one you want.
- **`page_extract_content` on social media:** Navigate to the specific post URL
first, then use `content_type: "article"`. The profile grid page doesn't
expose post content in extractable form — individual post pages do.
- **Instagram write not yet tested in production.** Read is proven. Write
(Kingdom Patch) is implemented but should be verified before Herald reliance.
- **The dist/chrome/ directory must be rebuilt after source changes.**
Run `npm run build:chrome` in `opendia-extension/` after any patch.
Current state: dist/chrome/ is up to date with all Kingdom patches applied.
- **MCP server auto-restarts via Claude Code MCP config.** The server does NOT
need to be manually started — Claude Code handles it. If tools aren't showing,
restart Claude Code (not just the session).
- **Port conflicts.** If something else is on :5555 or :5556, the server fails
silently. Check: `lsof -i :5555`. The server kills existing OpenDia processes
on startup, but won't kill unrelated port holders.

IF extension shows disconnected or tools return errors:
1. Click OpenDia icon in Chrome toolbar → wakes dormant service worker
2. OR: chrome://extensions/ → OpenDia → "service worker" link → Inspect (wakes it)
3. Alarm fires every 25s automatically — usually self-heals within one cycle
4. Nuclear option: chrome://extensions/ → reload OpenDia → reload target tabs
