browser-devtools-mcp

browser-devtools-mcp is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from HermeticOrmus/LibreUIUX-Claude-Code. It costs 38 tokens per session (4,300 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A guide to connecting browser developer tools and browser automation to an AI assistant through MCP, a standard way for software tools to exchange information with AI systems. It supports inspecting live pages, reading styles, taking screenshots, and checking visual results.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to inspect CSS and computed styles, capture screenshots, debug layouts, turn screenshots into implementation guidance, extract design tokens, and run visual checks.
Why use it?
It helps compare a running interface with its intended design instead of relying only on source code. This makes layout problems and visual differences easier to investigate.

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

browser-devtools-mcp 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 27d 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.

Browser DevTools MCP Integration

Leverage browser automation and DevTools through MCP (Model Context Protocol) for live UI inspection, screenshot-to-code workflows, and visual debugging. This skill enables direct observation and manipulation of running interfaces.


When to Use This Skill

  • Capturing screenshots of live UIs for analysis
  • Inspecting CSS and computed styles programmatically
  • Implementing screenshot-to-code workflows
  • Debugging layout issues with visual feedback
  • Extracting design tokens from existing sites
  • Automating visual regression testing
  • Building live preview workflows

MCP Architecture Overview

What is MCP?

Model Context Protocol (MCP) is Anthropic's standard for connecting LLMs to external tools. It provides:

  • Standardized tool interface - Consistent way to expose capabilities
  • Bidirectional communication - Tools can query the model
  • Stateful sessions - Maintain context across interactions
  • Permission boundaries - Control what tools can do

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.
