ChromeDevTools/chrome-devtools-mcp

ChromeDevTools/chrome-devtools-mcp is an Apache-2.0 MCP server and CLI that lets coding agents inspect and control a live Chrome browser through DevTools. It gives agents screenshots, console logs, network traces, performance insights, and Puppeteer-backed browser actions instead of brittle blind UI automation.

Why it matters

Useful for teams using Claude, Cursor, Copilot, or other coding agents on web apps: wire it into a non-sensitive browser profile first, then use it to reproduce UI bugs, inspect console errors, and collect performance traces during agent-assisted debugging.
