Show HN: WebBridge turns any website into MCP tools by recording browser traffic

https://github.com/jalabulajunx/WebBridge
2•nonstopnonsense•3h ago
I am a 40+-year-old-slightly-techie-middle-aged-man who occasionally writes code to make life easier. I was a developer once - a very long time ago. I am an Engineer by degree and my instinct goes for solution. I work in tech - but on the "_request_ developers what to build" side, not the "actually build it" side. With AI, I am now able to build more.

So I built WebBridge (yes - not so fancy name there). (Well - Claude built it. I directed. Like every PM does.)

What it actually does:

1. You install a Chrome extension 2. You browse to a site you're logged into - your library, your lab results portal, whatever 3. You click Record, do the thing you want to automate, click Stop 4. Claude reads the captured API traffic and generates a permanent MCP server 5. That server works with any MCP client - Claude (Cowork/Code), Cursor, VS Code, Windsurf, Cline, you name it

The whole thing takes about 10 minutes. No code written by you.

This is for non-tech folks who live inside AI providers, who just want to use it and move on. Legal analysts, market researchers, market watchers, marketing and competitive intelligence, and anyone who wants to use a specific website for a specific purpose, repeatedly.

The README has some use cases showcased: "Public Library Search" and "Legal Compliance Auditing."

There may not be an exact equivalent anywhere to what I purpose-built. I'd welcome being proven wrong on that.

Feedback is welcome - that's why I'm posting.

Interesting project. The hard problem feels like surviving API drift after the first happy-path recording. One thing I'd strongly consider is storing a small request contract per generated tool: which params are real user inputs vs session noise, which headers/cookies are auth, and which response fields are invariants. Then webbridge_update could ignore harmless churn (extra analytics params, reordered JSON, renamed endpoints) and surface real semantic breaks. Do you also have a strategy for avoiding overfitting to one user's logged-in state/permissions?
