CLI –chrome flag does not connect to native host socket
증상
When running claude --chrome, the CLI correctly enables the mcp__claude-in-chrome__* tools, but never connects to the native host Unix socket. All MCP tool calls return “Browser extension is not connected.”
원인
OpenClaw gateway, skill, or agent configuration issue — root cause confirmed in the openclaw/openclaw issue tracker.
해결법
Direct socket communication via Python script works perfectly. We wrote a bridge script that connects to the native host socket and executes tools:
```python sock.connect(‘/tmp/claude-mcp-browser-bridge-{user}/{pid}.sock’) send_msg(sock, {“method”: “execute_tool”, “params”: {“tool”: “tabs_context_mcp”, “args”: {}}})
