sallyport 0.18.1

MCP server bridging Claude Code to a browser extension over WS+HMAC

sallyport

The Python MCP-server half of Sallyport — a security-first bridge between Claude Code (or any MCP client) and your Chrome, with explicit trust boundaries instead of implicit ones.

Claude Code ── MCP/stdio ──▶ daemon (this package) ── WS+HMAC ──▶ extension (MV3) ── CDP ──▶ Chrome

The daemon speaks MCP on stdio and hosts an HMAC-authenticated WebSocket server on 127.0.0.1:10086 that the companion Chrome extension connects into. Every frame is signed (HMAC-SHA256 + timestamp + nonce); the extension enforces a per-domain allowlist and a per-domain opt-in for arbitrary JS.

Install

pip install sallyport

The package installs the sallyport-daemon console command.

Quickstart

sallyport-daemon doctor          # check Python, secret file + perms, port; print the pairing block
claude mcp add sallyport sallyport-daemon   # register with Claude Code

Then load the unpacked extension (or the release zip) from the main repository and paste the pairing block into its popup.

• sallyport-daemon list-tools — print the tool catalogue (no daemon start)
• sallyport-daemon serve — WS-only mode (no MCP) for wire testing
• sallyport-daemon exec <tool> k=v … — fire one tool from the shell

Security

The full threat model, the load-bearing invariants, and known limitations live in SECURITY.md. In short: loopback-only bind, HMAC on every frame, a domain allowlist enforced in the extension, per-domain evaluate opt-in, password-field gates, and daemon-side filesystem sandboxes for upload/save_to_file.
