Chrome DevTools MCP at a glance

Checked 22 Oct 2026

Chrome DevTools MCP (v1.11.0, Oct 2026, ~54k stars) gives Claude, Cursor, Copilot and other agents control of a real Chrome through Puppeteer, plus DevTools: network requests, console logs, screenshots and performance traces. It can launch Chrome or attach to a running one over a debugging port. Officially supports Chrome only. Google collects usage statistics by default (--no-usage-statistics turns it off), and performance tools may send URLs to the CrUX API. Needs Node.js LTS and current Chrome. Apache-2.0.
