install-chrome-devtools-mcp

install-chrome-devtools-mcp is a skill for Claude Code from jpoutrin/product-forge. It costs 22 tokens per session (1,743 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A setup tool for adding the Chrome DevTools MCP server to Claude Code. Chrome DevTools is a browser tool for inspecting page errors, network requests, JavaScript, performance, and screenshots.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to install the server for one project or all projects, optionally run it without a visible browser, and investigate web-page problems.
Why use it?
It gives the coding agent access to browser debugging information that is otherwise difficult to inspect from code alone.

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

install-chrome-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 2d 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.

What This Does

The Chrome DevTools MCP server provides:

  • Console inspection - View errors, warnings, and log messages
  • Network analysis - Inspect HTTP requests and responses
  • JavaScript evaluation - Run code in page context
  • Performance tracing - Analyze page performance
  • Screenshots - Capture page state

Installation Command

Run this command to install:

claude mcp add chrome-devtools -- npx -y chrome-devtools-mcp@latest

Scope Options

  • --scope local (default): Available only in current project
  • --scope project: Shared with team via .mcp.json
  • --scope user: Available across all your projects
# Install for user (all projects)
claude mcp add chrome-devtools --scope user -- npx -y chrome-devtools-mcp@latest

# Install for project (team shared)
claude mcp add chrome-devtools --scope project -- npx -y chrome-devtools-mcp@latest

Common Configurations

Headless Mode

For headless operation (no visible browser):

claude mcp add chrome-devtools -- npx -y chrome-devtools-mcp@latest --headless

Auto-Connect to Running Chrome

Connect to an already-running Chrome instance (Chrome 145+):

claude mcp add chrome-devtools -- npx -y chrome-devtools-mcp@latest --autoConnect

Connect to Specific Browser URL

For sandboxed environments or remote debugging:

claude mcp add chrome-devtools -- npx -y chrome-devtools-mcp@latest --browserUrl http://127.0.0.1:9222

Custom Viewport

Set initial window size:

claude mcp add chrome-devtools -- npx -y chrome-devtools-mcp@latest --viewport 1920x1080

Isolated Sessions (No Persistence)

Use temporary profile that cleans up automatically:

claude mcp add chrome-devtools -- npx -y chrome-devtools-mcp@latest --isolated

Verify Installation

After installation:

  1. Restart Claude Code
  2. Run /mcp to see the chrome-devtools server
  3. Test with: "Navigate to google.com and list console messages"

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.
