Chrome DevTools MCP: Let AI Coding Agents Control and Debug Chrome
Google's chrome-devtools-mcp is an MCP server and CLI that lets AI coding agents like Claude, Cursor and Copilot control and inspect a live Chrome browser. It supports performance trace recording, network analysis, screenshots, console errors with source-mapped stacks, and reliable Puppeteer-based automation. Usage statistics and CrUX trace uploads are on by default and can be disabled via flags.
What this means for indie developers:Indie developers debugging web or hybrid apps can plug this in to let AI agents surface performance and network issues, but should opt out of default usage statistics and CrUX uploads if needed.
