IFMPC — a Chrome extension that lets an AI assistant manage your InfinityFree site via MCP

First of all, please don’t call it “InfinityFree MCP”. That suggests that this projected is official or supported, which it isn’t.

The solution is clever, but also fundamentally composed of workarounds on top of workarounds on top of workarounds. It’s a browser extension that injects foreign code into our website to hijack your browser session and autonomously read or write any data from your account or website, which it then exfiltrates through a native host bridge.

The confirmation safeguards before making writes is useful, but only as good as the extension code.

Given your apparent love for AI (offering this as MCP, this post and most of your other posts seem AI generated), and seeing how even this post makes various claims that range from dubious to objectively false, I have my doubts about the code quality.

Is this a fun project to try and figure out? Absolutely. Should people actually use this? I say no.

SinceTwentyFive:

1. ToS : Section on “automated tools” is broad. Does a user-initiated, locally-running extension that drives the user’s own panel session count as prohibited automation, or is this in the same bucket as a browser autofill / accessibility tool?

What section is that exactly? Because we don’t have any section like that.

SinceTwentyFive:

1. Rate limits : Are there documented or unwritten rate limits on VistaPanel actions I should respect (e.g., max file ops per minute)? I’d like to bake the limits into the extension rather than have it trip them.

If I’d write them here, they wouldn’t be unwritten anymore, would they?

But to answer your question: I don’t know the limits.

SinceTwentyFive:

1. Preferred entry points : Is there any chance of an official read-only API in the future, even something minimal like account stats? If so I’d rather wait and build against that than scrape the panel HTML.

Historically, the stance has been “no” because APIs would be most useful for automated bulk operation, and there is no legitimate reason for someone to be managing accounts in bulk.

MCPs are a bit of a different use case, but I still wonder what legitimate use cases it enables. So I’m not going to say “never”, but I don’t see a reason to build this if the only reason is “AI is cool” or “everybody else does it”.
