claude-code - 💡(How to fix) Fix [Bug] Claude in Chrome extension not connecting to Claude Code on Windows 11 [1 participants]

Browser extension is not connected. The error message appears every time: 4. Error: "Browser extension is not connected"

TL;DR

The issue is likely due to a misconfiguration or incompatibility between the Claude Code native messaging host and the Chrome extension, and verifying the native messaging host configuration and the chrome-native-host.bat file may help resolve the issue.

Guidance

• Check the registry key HKCU\Software\Google\Chrome\NativeMessagingHosts\com.anthropic.claude_code_browser_extension to ensure it points to the correct location of the chrome-native-host.bat file.
• Verify that the chrome-native-host.bat file is correctly configured to point to the claude.exe path and that the file has execute permissions.
• Try running the chrome-native-host.bat file manually to see if it establishes a connection to Claude Code.
• Check the Chrome extension's permissions and settings to ensure that it is allowed to communicate with native applications.

Example

No code snippet is provided as it is not explicitly mentioned in the issue.

Notes

The issue may be specific to the Windows 11 Pro environment or the Claude Code version 2.1.114, and further investigation may be required to determine the root cause.

Recommendation

Apply workaround: Verify the native messaging host configuration and the chrome-native-host.bat file, and try running the chrome-native-host.bat file manually to establish a connection to Claude Code. This is because the issue seems to be related to the communication between the Chrome extension and the native application, and verifying the configuration and running the batch file manually may help resolve the issue.
