-An MCP server that exposes an authenticated page fetch tool for GitHub Copilot. It drives your signed-in Chrome/Edge via DevTools, reusing your profile to read restricted pages.
+Alternative web fetcher for GitHub Copilot when normal URL access fails due to authentication or anti-crawler restrictions. Uses your Chrome/Edge browser session via DevTools to bypass login requirements and bot detection.

IMPORTANT: Tool waits automatically for pages to load (up to 60s default, handles auth redirects, waits for network idle).

 ## How it works
 - Tool `load_and_extract` (inside the MCP server) drives your live Chrome (DevTools Protocol) so it inherits your auth cookies, returning `text` and `html` (truncated up to 2M chars per field) for analysis.

 - **Smart timeouts**: 60s default for page load, 10 min for auth redirects. Tabs stay open indefinitely for reuse (no auto-close).
 - GitHub Copilot's LLM invokes this tool via MCP; this repo itself does not run an LLM.
 
+## Distribution
+
+MCPBrowser is available through three channels:
+
+1. **VS Code Extension** (easiest): [cherchyk.mcpbrowser](https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=cherchyk.mcpbrowser) - One-click configuration
+2. **npm**: [mcpbrowser](https://www.npmjs.com/package/mcpbrowser) v0.2.2 - Use with npx
+3. **MCP Registry**: [io.github.cherchyk/browser](https://registry.modelcontextprotocol.io/) v0.2.2 - Discoverable in registry
+
+All three methods configure the same underlying MCP server that drives Chrome via DevTools Protocol.
+
 ## Auth-assisted fetch flow
 - Copilot can call with just the URL, or with no params if you set an env default (`DEFAULT_FETCH_URL` or `MCP_DEFAULT_FETCH_URL`). By default tabs stay open indefinitely for reuse (domain-aware).
 - First call opens the tab and leaves it open so you can sign in. No extra params needed.

+# MCPBrowser
+
+Alternative web fetcher for GitHub Copilot when normal URL access fails due to authentication or anti-crawler restrictions.
+
+## Features
+
+- 🚀 **One-Click Setup**: Installs npm package and configures mcp.json automatically
+- 🔐 **Bypass Authentication**: Opens pages in your Chrome/Edge browser - you authenticate if needed, MCPBrowser waits and fetches the final page content
+- 🤖 **Beat Anti-Crawler**: Works when sites block Copilot's normal fetching
+- ⚙️ **Auto-Configuration**: Complete setup with a single click
+
+## How It Works
+
+When Copilot needs to access an authenticated or protected page:
+1. MCPBrowser opens the URL in your Chrome/Edge browser
+2. If authentication is required, you log in normally in the browser
+3. MCPBrowser waits for the page to fully load (handles redirects automatically)
+4. Once loaded, it extracts the content and returns it to Copilot
+5. The browser tab stays open to reuse your session for future requests
+
+## Usage
+
+### Installation Steps
+
+1. Install this extension from VS Code marketplace
+2. You'll see a notification: **"MCPBrowser is available! Would you like to configure it for GitHub Copilot?"**
+3. Click **"Configure Now"**
+4. Wait for "Installing MCPBrowser npm package..." to complete
+5. When you see **"MCPBrowser configured successfully!"**, click **"Restart Now"**
+6. After restart, MCPBrowser is ready to use with Copilot!
+
+### Using with GitHub Copilot
+
+Once configured, Copilot will automatically use MCPBrowser when it encounters auth/crawler blocks. You can also explicitly request it:
+
+**Example prompts:**
+```
+Read https://internal.company.com/docs (I'm already logged in)
+
+Load the content from https://portal.azure.com/resources - use my authenticated session
+
+Fetch https://github.com/private-repo/issues using MCPBrowser
+```
+
+Copilot will use your Chrome/Edge browser session to access these pages, bypassing authentication and anti-crawler restrictions.
+
+### Manual Commands
+
+Command Palette (`Ctrl+Shift+P` or `Cmd+Shift+P`):
+- **Configure MCPBrowser for GitHub Copilot** - Set up or update configuration
+- **Remove MCPBrowser from GitHub Copilot** - Remove configuration
+
+## About MCPBrowser
+
+Alternative web fetcher for GitHub Copilot when normal URL access fails. Uses Chrome DevTools Protocol to access authenticated and crawler-protected pages through your browser session.
