chrome-devtools-mcp is a TypeScript library and CLI that runs a Model-Context-Protocol (MCP) server, exposing Chrome DevTools capabilities to AI coding agents. It enables agents to control, debug, and analyze a live Chrome browser via Puppeteer.
Use cases
- Let an AI coding assistant navigate and interact with a live Chrome browser.
- Collect performance traces and insights for web pages through an AI agent.
- Debug network requests, console logs, and take screenshots programmatically via an agent.
- Automate end‑to‑end testing workflows using AI‑driven browser actions.
- Integrate Chrome DevTools features into custom AI agents for code verification.
When to choose
- You need an AI agent to have direct, programmatic access to Chrome DevTools.
- Your workflow relies on Puppeteer and requires reliable automation with built‑in waiting.
- You want to capture performance metrics and debugging data through an MCP interface.
- You are building a tool that combines AI code generation with live browser testing.
When to avoid
- You need support for non‑Chrome or non‑Chromium browsers.
- Your use case involves highly sensitive data that cannot be exposed to MCP clients.
- You require a pure browser extension without a Node.js server component.
