How Kimi WebBridge Works

Kimi WebBridge consists of two parts: a browser extension and a local service that runs in the background on your computer. After installing the extension (available from the Chrome Web Store or manually), a simple installation script is launched, which sets up the local bridge via the command curl -fsSL https://kimi-web-img.moonshot.cn/webbridge/install.sh | bash.

The AI agent then sends commands to this local service, which converts them into specific actions in the browser — clicking, scrolling, reading page content, or taking screenshots — using the Chrome DevTools Protocol (CDP). The results are returned to the agent, which can continue working with them. The entire process is technically elegant: you don't need any cloud proxy servers or to hand over sensitive data to a third party.

Which AI Agents WebBridge Supports

Moonshot AI built WebBridge as an open tool that works with six different AI assistants:

• Kimi Code — Moonshot AI's own terminal AI agent for developers
• Claude Code — Anthropic's agent tool for the command line
• Cursor — a popular AI-first editor built on VS Code
• Codex — another AI developer tool
• Hermes — an open-source agent from Nous Research
• OpenClaw — a platform for deploying autonomous agents

This compatibility gives WebBridge an advantage: you don't have to be locked into one vendor's ecosystem. Do you use Claude Code but want your agent to search for job offers on LinkedIn by itself? WebBridge enables that regardless of which agent assigns the task.

What WebBridge Can Do

Moonshot AI shows three main use cases on the product page:

Trend Searching on Social Networks

The agent can automatically browse platforms like X (formerly Twitter), identify trending topics, extract key information from them, and prepare a summary overview — all without a single click from you.

Price Comparison in E-shops

WebBridge can, at the agent's command, open several e-shops, search for a specific product, compare prices, and deliver a table with the best offer. Automation that anyone who shops online regularly will appreciate.

Job Offer Collection

The agent will browse job portals, filter positions matching your criteria, and extract relevant details from them — job title, company, location, and salary range. Tedious clicking through dozens of listings is eliminated.

Privacy as the Main Selling Point

At a time when most AI tools send your data to cloud servers (often in the USA or China), the local architecture of WebBridge is a fundamental differentiator. All communication takes place exclusively on your device. Your login sessions, cookies, and the content of browsed pages are never sent to Moonshot AI's external servers. This is essential not only from a privacy perspective but also from the standpoint of European legislation.

For Czech companies and developers subject to GDPR, this means that using WebBridge does not carry the risk of personal data leakage to third countries. The agent itself may be powered by a cloud model (for example, Claude from Anthropic), but the actual interaction with the browser remains local — the model receives only structured outputs, not the content of the pages as such.

Who Stands Behind WebBridge

Moonshot AI is a Chinese AI company founded in 2023, which stands behind the Kimi platform and its own line of language models. Their latest model Kimi K2.6 ranked among the top in open-source coding in May 2026, and the company is aggressively expanding its portfolio of developer tools — from Kimi Code through Kimi Claw (a 24/7 agent platform) to Slides, Sheets, and Docs.

WebBridge is a logical continuation of this strategy: Moonshot AI does not want to compete only with models (where it rivals OpenAI, Google DeepMind, and Anthropic), but is building an entire ecosystem of tools in which AI agents actually do something — not just talk.

Availability in the Czech Republic and EU

Kimi WebBridge is available worldwide and for free — all you need is a Chrome or Edge browser and any of the supported AI agents. The extension itself does not require registration or an API key, so anyone can use it regardless of location. The only potential limitation is that some of the supported agents (for example, Kimi Code) require a paid subscription — but that concerns the agent, not WebBridge itself.

For Czech users who already work with Claude Code or Cursor, it is an immediately usable extension without additional costs.

Broader Context: The Race for Autonomous Agents

WebBridge arrives at a time when major technology companies are competing over who will first teach AI agents to control computers. OpenAI recently introduced enhanced browser-use capabilities in its voice models, Anthropic offers a computer-use API for Claude. Google is integrating agent capabilities into Gemini. Each of the giants chooses a different approach — and it is precisely the local CDP architecture of Moonshot AI that is a unique combination of simplicity and emphasis on privacy in this race.

For developers, this means one essential thing: AI agents are learning to work with the same tools you use. The web browser is the most used application in the world, and the ability of an agent to control it opens doors to automating hundreds of routine tasks — from filling out forms to monitoring prices and collecting data from public sources.
