chrome-devtools

chrome-devtools is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from artivilla/agents-config. It costs 55 tokens per session (506 once invoked), scanned A, a copy of chrome-devtools, MIT.

A browser-debugging workflow that connects a coding agent to Chrome DevTools, the tools built into Chrome for inspecting and testing web pages.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to debug websites, automate browser actions, inspect page structure and network traffic, and analyze performance.
Why use it?
It gives the agent a structured way to inspect pages, interact with elements, examine network requests, and investigate performance problems.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

chrome-devtools scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 3d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Origin

What it actually says

Core Concepts

Browser lifecycle: Browser starts automatically on first tool call using a persistent Chrome profile. Configure via CLI args in the MCP server configuration: npx chrome-devtools-mcp@latest --help.

Page selection: Tools operate on the currently selected page. Use list_pages to see available pages, then select_page to switch context.

Element interaction: Use take_snapshot to get page structure with element uids. Each element has a unique uid for interaction. If an element isn't found, take a fresh snapshot - the element may have been removed or the page changed.

Workflow Patterns

Before interacting with a page

  1. Navigate: navigate_page or new_page
  2. Wait: wait_for to ensure content is loaded if you know what you look for.
  3. Snapshot: take_snapshot to understand page structure
  4. Interact: Use element uids from snapshot for click, fill, etc.

Efficient data retrieval

  • Use filePath parameter for large outputs (screenshots, snapshots, traces)
  • Use pagination (pageIdx, pageSize) and filtering (types) to minimize data
  • Set includeSnapshot: false on input actions unless you need updated page state

Tool selection

  • Automation/interaction: take_snapshot (text-based, faster, better for automation)
  • Visual inspection: take_screenshot (when user needs to see visual state)
  • Additional details: evaluate_script for data not in accessibility tree

Parallel execution

You can send multiple tool calls in parallel, but maintain correct order: navigate → wait → snapshot → interact.

Troubleshooting

If chrome-devtools-mcp is insufficient, guide users to use Chrome DevTools UI:

If there are errors launching chrome-devtools-mcp or Chrome, refer to https://github.com/ChromeDevTools/chrome-devtools-mcp/blob/main/docs/troubleshooting.md.

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.

browser_cdp

Use this skill when the user explicitly wants to connect to a running Chrome browser, scan local CDP ports, specify a cdpport, or share a single browser across multiple agents/tools. By default browser opens no debugging port; pass an explicit cdpport only when the user wants another local tool to attach.
