Privacy Policy — AI Agent Visual Editor

Last updated: 11 October 2026

Summary

AI Agent Visual Editor is a developer tool by n'co studio. It collects no personal data, requires no account, and sends no data to n'co studio or any other remote server. It does hand the changes you make to your own AI coding agent, which is the one thing worth reading about below — see What your agent sees.

What the extension does

AI Agent Visual Editor is a Chrome extension that overlays a visual editing interface on web pages running on your own machine (development servers at localhost or 127.0.0.1). It lets developers select page elements, adjust their visual properties, and send the resulting changes to Claude Code through an MCP server that also runs on their machine.

Data collection

None of its own. The extension collects no personal information, no browsing history and no usage analytics, and it transmits nothing to n'co studio or any third-party service. It does send the changes you make — which include content from the page you are editing — to the MCP server on your own machine, which hands them to your AI coding agent. That path is described in What your agent sees.

Network activity

All network communication stays on your machine:

What your agent sees

The extension sends your data nowhere. Your agent is a separate matter, and worth being deliberate about.

Each change you send carries the following to the MCP server on your machine:

Screenshots are the exception: they are stitched and saved in your browser, and never go to the MCP server.

The MCP server runs on your machine, but your agent is the next step, and most agents send what they read to a model provider. Claude Code, for example, is a local program whose model calls go to Anthropic's API — so content you edit reaches Anthropic the same way any file you ask it to read does.

Practically: a development server is not automatically harmless. Local environments are often pointed at a seeded database, a staging copy or a production dump, so the page you are editing may hold real customer records. Treat editing a page the way you would treat pasting that page into a chat with your agent — because in substance that is what it is.

The local MCP server

The extension works with a companion server, @nco-studio/web-editor-mcp, which you run locally with npx. This server:

Permissions

PermissionWhy it's needed
activeTabTo read the current tab's address and page structure so you can select elements, and to capture the visible tab when you use the screenshot tool. Screenshots are saved to your machine only.
storageTo keep your queue of pending changes across page reloads, using session storage that Chrome clears when it closes.
scriptingTo load the editing overlay into your local development page when you turn the extension on.
localhost / 127.0.0.1 accessTo limit the extension to local development servers. It never runs on production or public websites.

Data sharing

This extension shares no data with any third party. It contains no analytics, advertising or tracking, and transmits nothing beyond the localhost connection described above.

The one onward path is the one you create: the MCP server exists to hand your changes to your own AI coding agent, and most agents send what they read to their model provider. That provider is your agent's, chosen by you, under your agreement with them — this extension has no relationship with it and sends it nothing directly.

Children's privacy

This extension is a tool for software developers. It is not directed at children and does not knowingly collect information from anyone, including minors.
