[Bug] Claude in Chrome Native Host not supported on this platform (WSL2)
Resolved 💬 6 comments Opened Dec 18, 2025 by Zate Closed Feb 14, 2026
I was excited to try out the Chrome integration Beta, but it appears that using chrome under WSL2 isnt supported. Playwright works just fine, the addon is installed, but I get the following errors.
**Bug Description**

2672 | Never reuse tab IDs from a previous/other session. Follow these guidelines:
2673 | 1. Only reuse an existing tab if the user explicitly asks to work with it
2674 | 2. Otherwise, create a new tab with mcp__claude-in-chrome__tabs_create_mcp
2675 | 3. If a tool returns an error indicating the tab doesn't exist or is invalid, call tabs_context_mcp to get fresh tab IDs
2676 | 4. When a tab is closed by the user or a navigation error occurs, call tabs_context_mcp to see what tabs are available
