Install & config
Client config (built from the install command this repo gives)
{
"mcpServers": {
"parendumou-corvus": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["are"]
}
}
}Parsed from the README we fetched on 2026-11-06; we have not executed it.
command/args come from the install command the repository states. When it is ambiguous, the project README wins.
VS Code (.vscode/mcp.json - the key is servers)
{
"servers": {
"parendumou-corvus": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["are"]
}
}
}Same server, but VS Code keeps it under <code>servers</code>.
Claude Code (command line)
claude mcp add --transport stdio parendumou-corvus -- npx are
Claude Code does not read a config file; add the server with this command.

以下摘录自该仓库的 README（片段） · 在 GitHub 读完整 README →
Corvus is a desktop web browser built for working with AI. It is a full everyday browser, its address bar answers searches with a short, cited AI summary, and it is also an MCP server: Claude Code, Claude Desktop or any other MCP client can drive it in your own logged-in session, with clear limits you control.
## Download
Website: https://corvus.parendum.com
All versions: GitHub Releases
Windows (installer and portable) and Linux (AppImage and .deb). Installed copies update themselves from GitHub Releases. Builds are not code signed yet, so Windows SmartScreen shows a warning on first launch.
## Features
Browser
Tabs, tab groups, vertical tabs, workspaces, split view and session restore
Bookmarks with folders, history, profiles with separate sessions, downloads, site permissions
Chrome extensions: load unpacked or install from the Chrome Web Store
Built-in ad and tracker blocker (Ghostery engine) that also rejects cookie banners for you (DuckDuckGo Autoconsent) and sends Global Privacy Control, password manager with 2FA codes and read-only KeePass (.kdbx) support, PDF viewer
Reader mode, read aloud, highlights and notes on any page, "watch this page" change alerts
End-to-end encrypted sync with your phone and other computers, with nothing to set up: the sync server is built into Corvus (or run your own)
AI
AI search: results come from a retriever (self-hosted SearXNG, Brave or DuckDuckGo) and one small model call writes a short answer with citations, in your language
Assist panel to summarize a page, ask about it or translate it
Command bar (Ctrl/Cmd+K) with a built-in browser agent that asks before risky steps, and always before spending money
Scheduled agents, recorded flows you can replay, AI tab organizer, semantic search over your history, bookmarks and saved reading
Providers: Anthropic API, your local Claude Code login, or local models (Ollama or any OpenAI-compatible server) with no API key
For AI agents (MCP)
A local MCP server with the full browser toolset: open and read pages, click, type, fill forms, extract content, take screenshots and snapshots, search
Three access levels: read-only, standard (default) and full (adds JavaScript, uploads, downloads and save as PDF)
Tabs an agent is driving get an AI badge, an on-screen cursor and an activity timeline; you can pause agents at any time
CAPTCHAs are solved by the agent when Corvus does not pass them on its own: it clicks the checkbox and works through tile grids with the screenshot and coordinate tools, and hands the check to you after two failed attempts or when it asks for a phone number or e-mail code. Two-factor prompts are handed to you too, unless you let agents use the 2FA code of a specific saved login: then Corvus fills the code itself after you approve, and the agent never sees it
Off by default; local only unless you turn on remote access, which always needs a bearer token
## Sync your devices
Corvus syncs bookmarks, history, open tabs, the reading list, saved logins and more between your computers and the Corvus app on your phone. Everything is end-to-end encrypted with a key only your devices have (a 24-word recovery phrase): whatever stores it can only see ciphertext. There is no Corvus cloud: your data stays on your own devices, or on a server you run.
