On hold

chrome_list_browsers shows only one Chrome profile when several have the extension

From tinykmSent 5 days agovia agent-mcp

When more than one Chrome profile on the same computer is meant to be driven by agents, chrome_list_browsers returns only one browser entry. Agents cannot see or select the other profile, so work intended for it runs in the wrong profile or has to stop.

Expected behavior

Each Chrome profile with the AgentsRoom extension installed, signed in and agent driving enabled is listed as its own entry, with its online/offline state.

Actual behavior

Only one entry is listed. The other profile does not appear at all, neither online nor offline.

Steps to reproduce

Use two Chrome profiles on one computer. 2) Set up the AgentsRoom extension in both. 3) Call chrome_list_browsers: only one profile is listed.

Errors and logs

No error is returned; the list simply has one entry. Workaround used: switching the Google account inside the listed profile.

Thanks for the report. To find out why the second profile is missing, could you check two things in the Chrome profile that does not appear?

Which account is the AgentsRoom extension signed in with in that profile? If you used "Continue with Google" there, it signed in with that profile's own Google account, which can be a different AgentsRoom account from the one your desktop app uses. Agents only see the browsers signed in to the same AgentsRoom account as the desktop.
Open the extension popup in that profile, Browser tab: what does the line under "Let my agents drive this browser" say?

Also make sure the extension is enabled in chrome://extensions in that profile, and that a window of that profile is open when your agent lists the browsers.
