-
Let your coding agent debug a page in a real Chrome
Add the MCP server so the agent can open your app, read the console and network, and screenshot the result.
View prompt
Add ChromeDevTools/chrome-devtools-mcp to my MCP config, open http://localhost:<port>, list every console error and failed network request with its source-mapped stack, fix the top one, and take a screenshot after the fix.
-
Have an agent record a performance trace and explain it
Ask the agent to check a page's performance; it records a DevTools trace and pulls out actionable insights.

View prompt
Using ChromeDevTools/chrome-devtools-mcp, record a performance trace of <url>, list the top 3 insights with their likely cause in my code, and re-measure after fixing the first one.

-
Drive Chrome from the command line with the DevTools CLI skill
Use the CLI instead of MCP for quick navigate and screenshot jobs, and install it as a skill for your agent.
View prompt
Install ChromeDevTools/chrome-devtools-mcp globally, add the chrome-devtools-cli skill for my agent, and write a script that screenshots each URL in urls.txt into ./shots/.
Quick start with Chrome DevTools MCP
- Check you have what it needs: Node.js and npm; Chrome; An MCP client or a coding agent that can run shell commands.
- Open ChromeDevTools/chrome-devtools-mcp on GitHub and read the README and license.
- Add an mcpServers entry named chrome-devtools that runs npx with
chrome-devtools-mcp@latest - Restart your MCP client so the tools load
- Ask the agent to open your local app and report console messages and failed network requests
- Have it fix the cause and take a screenshot to confirm
These steps come from our top use case, Let your coding agent debug a page in a real Chrome, which also has a copy-paste agent prompt.

Questions about Chrome DevTools MCP
What is Chrome DevTools MCP?
Chrome DevTools for agents (chrome-devtools-mcp) lets a coding agent such as Claude, Cursor, Copilot or Antigravity control and inspect a live Chrome browser, as an MCP server or as a CLI. The agent can record performance traces and get insights, read network requests and console messages with source-mapped stack traces, take screenshots, and automate pages with Puppeteer. The README warns that it exposes the browser's content to the MCP client, so avoid sensitive sites in that browser. It is an open-source project on GitHub: https://github.com/ChromeDevTools/chrome-devtools-mcp.
How do I use Chrome DevTools MCP?
Add an mcpServers entry named chrome-devtools that runs npx with chrome-devtools-mcp@latest; then Restart your MCP client so the tools load; ask the agent to open your local app and report console messages and failed network requests. The use cases on this page give the full steps and a copy-paste agent prompt for each job.
