peek-cli allows agents to capture a screenshot of any open tab in your browser.

Works with Claude Code, Codex, Copilot and many more...

See it in action:

demo.mp4

It works by using a browser extension to stream screenshots over WebSockets.

Usage

For security, you need to connect the agent once on every startup.

Start the WebSocket daemon:

Successfully started server.">peeked start<br>> Successfully started server.

Connect your browser:

You're good to go!

[ 'http://localhost:3000/' ]

peeked at http://localhost:3000 # capture screenshot<br>> Image saved to: /var/.../peek_cli/images/dd999ee0.jpg">peeked list # view available tabs<br>> [ 'http://localhost:3000/' ]

peeked at http://localhost:3000 # capture screenshot<br>> Image saved to: /var/.../peek_cli/images/dd999ee0.jpg

Installation

Install the Chrome Extension.

🎉 the extension has been approved on the Chrome Web Store!

Install the CLI

npm i -g peeked

Install the Skill

For Claude Code:

/plugin marketplace add puffinsoft/peek-cli<br>/plugin install view-browser-tab@peek-cli

For Codex:

codex plugin marketplace add puffinsoft/peek-cli<br>codex plugin add view-browser-tab@peek-cli

Examples

⚠️ Is this safe?

Yes, 100%. It is impossible for the agent to do anything but take a screenshot .

This is because the agent sends screenshot requests to the extension through a WebSocket server.

It never accesses the browser and cannot inject any scripts / perform any actions.

We invite you to take a look at the extension source code for added peace of mind.
