# Anchor Terminal for Chrome (slim)

> A free Chrome extension that shows how the AI agent tool on the page you're on is graded, and searches 1,000+ graded APIs, MCP servers and models. It matches the page inside your browser, so the address of the page you're on never leaves your machine.

## What it does

Click the Anchor Terminal icon on any website.

It's the same data as the site, the [API](/docs/) and the [MCP server](/agents/), read from public endpoints, with no account and no key.

## Install it

The extension is waiting for review at the Chrome Web Store.

1. Download [anchor-terminal-chrome.zip](/extension/anchor-terminal-chrome.zip) and unzip it.
2. Open `chrome://extensions` and turn on Developer mode, top right.
3. Click Load unpacked and choose the unzipped folder.

It works in Chrome and in other Chromium browsers that take Chrome extensions, such as Edge, Brave and Arc.

## Privacy

The extension has no background script, no content scripts and no analytics.

- **The page you're on stays on your machine.** The extension downloads the public index of listings by domain, [/api/v1/domains.json](/api/v1/domains.json), keeps it for a day in the extension's own storage, and looks the page's host up locally. The page's address isn't sent to us or anyone else.
- **What you type in the search box is sent to us**, to [/api/v1/search](/docs/#live), the same as a search on the site. The server records it like any other request, as the [privacy policy](/privacy/#visits) says, and keeps the record for 90 days.
- **Links you open** from the extension carry `ref=chrome-extension`, so we can count how many visits it sends. That's all the tag says.

It asks for `activeTab` (to read the address of the tab you clicked it on), `storage` (to keep the domain index for a day) and access to www.anchorterminal.com (to download the index and search).

## Questions

### Does the extension track the websites I visit?

No.

### Why does it say a site isn't listed?

It matches the listings we grade, over 1,000 of them, by each listing's own website and endpoint.

### What do the grades mean?

Every graded listing is scored out of 100 against the same checklist and given a grade from AA to F.
