Chrome-devtools-mcp is an open-source server that allows AI coding assistants to control and inspect live Chrome browsers for automation, debugging, and performance analysis.

Why it matters: It empowers AI coding agents like Gemini, Claude, and Copilot to access Chrome DevTools capabilities for advanced browser interactions.

The big picture: The tool bridges AI models and browser automation using Puppeteer, enabling reliable debugging and performance tracing through a Model-Context-Protocol server.

Quick takeaway: Supports various automation, navigation, emulation, performance, network, and debugging tools configurable for headless or isolated Chrome instances.

Commenters say: Users appreciate the seamless AI integration with Chrome DevTools, but caution about security risks when exposing browser data to AI clients.
