A developer needed to scrape thousands of meme templates from a website without an export option, so they experimented with Chrome DevTools MCP and an AI agent to reverse engineer the site's API.

Why it matters: Chrome DevTools MCP enables agents to inspect browser network requests, simplifying API reverse engineering without manual digging.

The big picture: Open source nature of DevTools MCP allowed customization to handle request overload and improve AI processing capabilities.

Stunning stat: The AI generated a nearly 300-line working Python API client in one shot after enhancements to the tool.

Commenters say: Readers appreciate the power of combining AI with open source developer tools and share enthusiasm for automating tedious scraping tasks.
