About Chrome DevTools MCP

Chrome DevTools MCP is Google's official server connecting AI coding agents to a real Chrome browser over the DevTools Protocol. It exposes performance tracing, network request inspection, console messages with source-mapped stack traces, and screenshots as MCP tools. This turns "the page is slow" or "something is failing in prod" into something an agent can actually investigate rather than guess at.

Requirements: Node.js v20.19+ (or newer maintenance LTS) and current stable Chrome or newer.

Client-specific installs: - Claude Code: claude mcp add chrome-devtools --scope user npx chrome-devtools-mcp@latest - Gemini CLI: gemini mcp add chrome-devtools npx chrome-devtools-mcp@latest - Codex: codex mcp add chrome-devtools -- npx chrome-devtools-mcp@latest

Our Take on Chrome DevTools MCP

If your agent works on front-end code, this is close to essential — it is the difference between an agent reasoning about a page and an agent actually measuring it. Being Google-maintained means it tracks Chrome releases properly, which third-party browser servers frequently do not.
