Lets a coding agent control and inspect a live Chrome browser through Chrome DevTools. It can record performance traces and extract insights, analyze network requests, take screenshots, and read console messages with source-mapped stack traces. Actions are automated with Puppeteer, which waits for results.
Runs locally over stdio with npx (chrome-devtools-mcp). Requires Node.js LTS, npm and a current stable Chrome. No account or API key is needed. Google collects usage statistics by default, and performance tools may send trace URLs to the CrUX API. Both can be disabled with flags.

Claude Code
- Run this in a terminal, in your project folder:
claude mcp add --transport stdio chrome-devtools -- npx -y chrome-devtools-mcp@latest- Start Claude Code and type
/mcp. chrome-devtools should show as connected.
Add --scope user to make it available in every project.
Claude Desktop
- Open Settings → Developer → Edit Config. It opens
claude_desktop_config.json. Add:
{
"mcpServers": {
"chrome-devtools": {
"command": "npx",
"args": [
"-y",
"chrome-devtools-mcp@latest"
]
}
}
}- Save the file and restart Claude Desktop.
Needs Node.js on your computer. The file lives in ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/ on macOS and %APPDATA%\Claude\ on Windows.
Cursor
Or add it by hand to ~/.cursor/mcp.json (all projects) or .cursor/mcp.json (this project):
{
"mcpServers": {
"chrome-devtools": {
"command": "npx",
"args": [
"-y",
"chrome-devtools-mcp@latest"
]
}
}
}Needs Node.js on your computer.
VS Code
Install in VS Code a11y.new_tab
Or from a terminal:
code --add-mcp '{"name":"chrome-devtools","type":"stdio","command":"npx","args":["-y","chrome-devtools-mcp@latest"]}'Or commit it to the repo in .vscode/mcp.json:
{
"servers": {
"chrome-devtools": {
"type": "stdio",
"command": "npx",
"args": [
"-y",
"chrome-devtools-mcp@latest"
]
}
}
}Needs Node.js on your computer.
Devin Desktop
- Add it to
~/.config/devin/mcp_config.json(macOS and Linux) or%APPDATA%\devin\mcp_config.json(Windows):
{
"mcpServers": {
"chrome-devtools": {
"command": "npx",
"args": [
"-y",
"chrome-devtools-mcp@latest"
]
}
}
}- Refresh the MCP server list in Cascade.
Devin Desktop is the new name for Windsurf.
Codex
codex mcp add chrome-devtools -- npx -y chrome-devtools-mcp@latestOr edit ~/.codex/config.toml directly:
[mcp_servers.chrome-devtools]
command = "npx"
args = ["-y", "chrome-devtools-mcp@latest"]Needs Node.js on your computer.
Gemini CLI
gemini mcp add chrome-devtools npx -- -y chrome-devtools-mcp@latestThis adds it to the current project. Add -s user to use it everywhere.
Any client
Most clients that start local servers accept this shape:
{
"mcpServers": {
"chrome-devtools": {
"command": "npx",
"args": [
"-y",
"chrome-devtools-mcp@latest"
]
}
}
}Zed puts servers under context_servers in its settings, with the same command, args and env fields.
Needs Node.js on your computer.
listing.faq
Can I paste mcp.tc/i/chrome-devtools into my MCP client?
No. Chrome DevTools MCP runs on your own computer, started by your client, so it has no web address to connect to. The quick link is the page to share; the install command is npx -y chrome-devtools-mcp@latest.
Does Chrome DevTools MCP need an API key?
No. It doesn't declare any keys or environment variables. It runs with your user account's permissions, so check what its tools can reach.
Is Chrome DevTools MCP a remote or a local server?
Local. Your client starts it as a process on your computer with npx -y chrome-devtools-mcp@latest, which needs Node.js.
What can Chrome DevTools MCP do?
You can record performance traces and extract insights, analyze network requests and read console messages with source-mapped stack traces.
Which clients can use it?
Any client that starts local servers: Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Cursor, VS Code, Devin Desktop, Codex, Gemini CLI, Zed and others. claude.ai and ChatGPT only connect to remote servers.
Who wrote this page?
