Google launches Chrome DevTools MCP for agent-based browser debugging

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

This tool exposes a live Chrome instance to various MCP clients, offering 58 tools for tasks like network inspection, performance tracing, and debugging.

The project supports Chrome stable and Chrome for Testing, with installation being a simple JSON configuration. AI
