Chrome DevTools MCP Server
Performance traces and console access.
Official — published by the vendor of the system it connects to.
Drive Chrome's DevTools protocol: record performance traces, read console output and network requests, and inspect the DOM. Turns 'the page feels slow' into an actual trace.
Install Chrome DevTools MCP Server

Frequently asked questions
How do I install Chrome DevTools MCP Server?
Add it to your MCP client's config with the command `npx -y chrome-devtools-mcp@latest`, or paste the ready-made JSON block above into Claude Desktop, Cursor, VS Code or Windsurf. Claude Code users can run `claude mcp add chrome-devtools` instead. Restart the client and the tools appear in the next session.
Does Chrome DevTools MCP Server need an API key?
No credential is recorded for this listing, which usually means it runs against something local or public rather than an authenticated API. Check the repository's README before assuming, and if you find otherwise, tell us and we will correct the listing.
Which clients work with Chrome DevTools MCP Server?
Any MCP client. Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor, VS Code with Copilot, Windsurf, Zed, Cline and Continue all speak the Model Context Protocol, so a server written once works in all of them — only the location of the config file differs.
Is Chrome DevTools MCP Server free?
The server itself is free and open source, and you run it yourself. It is published by the vendor of the system it connects to, so that service's own pricing applies to whatever it reaches.
