Chrome DevTools MCP

ChromeDevTools/chrome-devtools-mcp

Google's official MCP server that lets coding agents control a real Chrome: read the console, capture network requests, run performance profiles, take screenshots.

Why pick itAfter a frontend change the agent can open the browser to verify and debug on its own, with DevTools-level detail beyond screenshot-only browser tools.

Before you install

MCP clients can inspect and modify any data in the browser, so avoid sensitive information. Google collects usage statistics by default (opt out with --no-usage-statistics), and performance tools may send trace URLs to the CrUX API (disable with --no-performance-crux).
