It looks like it should be possible to use a local model with a custom prompt.

Selecting text and having a action with a custom prompt/tool without needing a browser extension might be nice. It need not even be a llm.

You're on your own running these in the wild; at least use a few other layers of security protection. Later versions of Firefox will not run unsigned addons unless you're running a development build, without running it from the debugger page. (Maybe someone can chime in with a workaround.)

I'm really surprised no one has done this.

You don't even need an mcp server. Claude Code can just run osascript. >>44492369
