Comet MCP – Give Claude Code a browser that can click
Hey HN, Claude Code is pretty agentic now. It writes scripts, calls APIs, uses CLIs. But when something requires actually clicking through a website, it stops and asks me to do it. Problem is, I'm often unfamiliar with these platforms myself. "Go to App Store Connect and generate a P8 key" okay but where? I end up spending 10 minutes navigating menus I've never seen before. I started delegating these tasks to Perplexity's Comet browser. It handles the clicking, returns what I need. But copy-pasting between Claude and Comet got old fast. So I built this MCP server to connect them directly.…

In plain words
Comet MCP is a tool that connects Claude Code with Perplexity's Comet browser, enabling Claude to interact with websites that lack APIs. When Claude encounters a task requiring website navigation and clicking—such as retrieving app IDs from dashboards or generating keys in admin panels—it can delegate to Comet rather than stopping to ask the user. This integration eliminates manual copy-pasting between tools and helps developers complete web-based workflows that normally interrupt automation.

MCP Server connecting to Perplexity Comet browser. Contribute to hanzili/comet-mcp development by creating an account on GitHub.
An MCP server that connects Claude Code to Perplexity Comet - enabling agentic web browsing, deep research, and real-time task monitoring. Return static text. No interaction, no login, no dynamic content. Great for quick lookups, but can't navigate complex sites or fill forms. Can interact with pages, but use a one-agent-do-all approach: the same reasoning model that's writing your code is also deciding where to click, what to type, and how to navigate. This overwhelms the context window and fragments focus. Comet MCP takes a different approach. Instead of Claude controlling a browser directly, it delegates to Perplexity Comet - an AI purpose-built for web research and browsing. {…from github.com

Talanoa▲346Hi HN, I’m a fullstack developer, and honestly, I’ve lost count of how many side projects I’ve worked on over the years. But one idea kept coming back to me: a different kind of email client. It first came to me in 2014: “What if we could handle emails more like conversations?” Every year, I’d revisit this concept in my “Build Notes.” Ten years later, no one had built exactly what I had in mind — so I finally decided to do it myself. That’s how Talanoa was born. I wanted something focused on people, not timelines. I was tired of marking messages as unread just to remember to reply later, or…

Hey HN! I wanted to share something I built over the last few weeks: isometric.nyc is a massive isometric pixel art map of NYC, built with nano banana and coding agents. I didn't write a single line of code. Of course no-code doesn't mean no-engineering. This project took a lot more manual labor than I'd hoped! I wrote a deep dive on the workflow and some thoughts about the future of AI coding and creativity: http://cannoneyed.com/projects/isometric-nyc
