What's Wrong?

That's frustrating. The MCP says "Reconnected" but my tool calls still fail - there's a disconnect somewhere.

Since you've already troubleshot, this might be worth reporting as a bug at https://github.com/anthropics/claude-code/issues - the symptom is that /mcp shows connected but the actual tool calls return "Browser extension is not connected."

In the meantime, I can help you with other tasks in your codebase, or you can manually search Google for "types of potatoes" while we figure out the Chrome issue.

What Should Happen?

Claude should be connected to chrome
