Technical Implementation of Intelligent Page Analysis
OpenDia's page analytics functionality relies on the following technology stack:
- MCP protocol layer: Establish a persistent WebSocket connection between the browser extension and the local server for low-latency bi-directional communication
- Content Extraction Engine: Fetch structured web content via DOM parsing algorithms, including:
- Using APIs like querySelector to locate body regions
- Apply Readability class algorithms to filter noisy content such as advertisements
- AI integration interface: Transfer of extracted content to connected AI models (e.g. Claude/ChatGPT) via standardized JSON format
Example of a typical workflow:
User inputs "summary page" command → extension triggers content capture → sends to local LLM via MCP protocol → AI generates summary → results are returned and displayed in extension UI. The whole process is usually completed within 2-3 seconds.
