FROM DOWNLOAD TO FIRST TASK
Connect your Bridge.
A local companion, a Chrome extension, and your own AI app.
You need Google Chrome and an AI app that accepts local MCP servers. Your AI subscription or API usage is separate. The beta extension requires Chrome Developer mode and Load unpacked; it is not installed from the Chrome Web Store.
Verified release: 0.1.0 · Intel Mac · macOS 15.8.3 (verified).
This Mac download was tested on Intel macOS 15.8.3 with Google Chrome 157.0.8103.51. Apple silicon runtime, other macOS versions, Windows and Linux are not verified for this download.
1. Get your download
After payment is confirmed, the store emails a private download link to your checkout email address. The link lasts 7 days. Your private order page can generate a new link later. Check spam if the email is missing; contact support rather than paying twice.
2. Open the Mac companion
Open the downloaded ZIP and drag Opxera Bridge.app into Applications. Move it before connecting your AI app so its command keeps the correct path. Open Opxera Bridge from Applications; its local setup page opens in your browser. Browser control starts stopped.
3. Load the Chrome extension
- Open
chrome://extensionsin the Chrome profile you want to use. - Turn on Developer mode.
- Choose Load unpacked and select the extension folder shown by the companion.
- Generate a pairing code in setup, open the extension popup, and pair it. Press Resume in the extension when you are ready to allow browser control.
Use only the extension bundled with your verified Bridge download. Keep the extension folder in place after loading it.
4. Connect your AI app
Select your AI app in setup and follow its connection instructions. If manual configuration is needed, use the exact server command and values shown for your installation. Keep unrelated MCP entries and preferences. Restart the AI app and start a new chat to load the tools.
5. Try the practice page
Open the practice page from setup and ask your assistant to inspect and fill its demonstration form. Check the visible result in Chrome. Try more involved tasks only after the connection works.
You can also use our public project-form practice page. It uses fictional data and does not create a real project or send a message. Try this prompt in your connected assistant:
Open https://deckspace.dev/bridge/practice/ and read the fictional project brief. Fill the form using those details, then pause so I can review it. After I approve, save once and read back the visible result.
Only use this prompt on the practice page. Check your assistant’s work before approving the save.
When you are finished, stop control from the extension. Review actions involving accounts or personal information. A successful click does not prove that a whole workflow completed.
If it does not connect
- Confirm the companion is open and the extension is enabled in the intended Chrome profile.
- Check that pairing completed and you pressed Resume. Stop persists across restarts; your AI cannot resume itself.
- Use Repair connection in setup if the local relay stopped. Repair does not repeat a browser action.
- Restart the AI app after adding its MCP configuration.
- Use the companion’s diagnostics if available, or contact support with your operating system, app version and the error text. Do not include passwords, tokens or private page contents.
Remove it
- Press Stop, then Unpair in the extension.
- Remove Opxera Bridge at
chrome://extensions. - Remove only the
opxera-bridgeMCP entry from each connected AI app, then restart those apps. Keep other entries and preferences. - Use Quit Bridge in setup, then move Opxera Bridge.app from Applications to Trash.
- Optionally remove
~/.opxera-bridgethrough Finder’s Go to Folder to delete pairing, approved-folder settings and local logs. This is separate from existing Chrome Bridge or DeckTest data.
