This release addresses the "blind spot" of terminal-based agents that lack native web access. While it mirrors OpenAI's Codex Chrome plugin, Kimi Web Bridge is notably interoperable. It functions as a universal interface for tools like Cursor, launching alongside Moonshot AI's long-horizon coding.

You can install the extension from the Chrome Web Store and connect it to your agent using a curl command. The tool is compatible with Kimi Code, Cursor, and OpenAI's Codex app. Because the service runs locally, your session data and page content remain on your device.

Still wondering? A few quick answers below.

Kimi Web Bridge is a browser extension and local service designed to give AI agents direct control over web browsers. It allows agents to perform human-like actions such as searching, scrolling, clicking, and typing. This enables terminal-based coding tools to interact with live websites and extract data directly from the browser.

The system pairs a local service with a browser extension to control Chrome or Edge. It uses the Chrome DevTools Protocol to send commands from an AI agent to the browser. This setup allows the agent to operate within the user's existing authenticated sessions, meaning it can access private dashboards.

Kimi Web Bridge is designed to be interoperable with a variety of popular AI agentic tools. It officially supports Moonshot AI's Kimi Code, as well as third-party tools like Claude Code, Cursor, OpenAI's Codex, Hermes, and OpenClaw. This allows developers to add browser-based capabilities to their preferred coding environment.

Yes, Kimi Web Bridge is built with a local-first architecture to protect user privacy. The agent communicates with a local service on your computer, and all browser interactions happen within your existing Chrome or Edge instance. Because the system runs locally, your login sessions and private page content never leave your device.

To set up the tool, you must first install the Kimi WebBridge extension from the Chrome Web Store. After installation, you connect it to your AI agent by running a specific installation script via a curl command in your terminal. Once the local service is running, your agent can begin sending commands.
