README

Corvus

Corvus is a desktop web browser built for working with AI. It is a full everyday browser, its address bar answers searches with a short, cited AI summary, and it is also an **MCP server**: Claude Code, Claude Desktop or any other MCP client can drive it in your own logged-in session, with clear limits you control.
