## What it is
An MCP server that exposes Chrome DevTools capabilities to AI coding agents, letting them control and inspect a live Chrome browser via Puppeteer. It provides browser automation, network/console debugging, screenshots, and performance trace analysis, with a standalone CLI option.

## Use cases
- let my coding agent debug a live Chrome browser
- automate browser actions from an AI assistant
- capture performance traces and get insights from an agent
- inspect network requests and console errors via MCP
- take screenshots of pages during agent-driven testing
- run browser automation without MCP using a CLI

## When to choose
- you use an MCP-compatible coding agent (Claude, Cursor, Copilot) and need live browser control
- you want DevTools-grade debugging and performance analysis exposed to an agent
- you need reliable Puppeteer-based automation with automatic waiting

## When to avoid
- you need support for non-Chrome browsers (only Chrome and Chrome for Testing are officially supported)
- you cannot share browser content with MCP clients or Google usage statistics
- you need a simple headless scraping library without MCP integration
