Install

Node.js 24 or newer, and Google Chrome with the Page Scanner extension installed.

Claude Code

claude mcp add page-scanner -- npx -y @page-scanner/mcp

Claude Desktop, and anything reading .mcp.json

Claude Desktop reads this block from claude_desktop_config.json; other clients read it from .mcp.json.

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "page-scanner": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@page-scanner/mcp", "serve"]
    }
  }
}

Then pair Chrome.

Updating

Both setups run npx -y @page-scanner/mcp, which asks npm for the newest version each time the client starts the server. Restart the client, or start a new Claude Code session, to pick one up. The daemon restarts itself on the new version and the pairing carries over.

If you also installed the command line globally, update it at the same time with npm install -g @page-scanner/cli@latest. A daemon of one version is replaced by a client of any other, so the two would keep replacing each other's daemon.
