mcp-chrome-devtools

mcp-chrome-devtools is a skill for Claude Code, OpenCode from MichelKerkmeester/skilled-agent-harness_spec-driven-loops. It costs 33 tokens per session (3,676 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A Chrome DevTools connector that routes browser debugging and automation through either the bdg command-line tool or an MCP connection.

In plain words
What is it for?
It is for taking screenshots, inspecting page elements, reading console and network activity, manipulating cookies, running JavaScript, and creating browser automation scripts.
Why use it?
It provides a lightweight way to inspect and control a browser without requiring a full browser-testing framework, while still supporting workflows that combine several tools.

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

mcp-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 today.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 3 executable files (examples/animation-testing.sh, examples/multi-viewport-test.sh, examples/performance-baseline.sh), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

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.

Chrome DevTools Orchestrator - CLI + MCP Integration

Browser debugging and automation through two complementary approaches: CLI (bdg) for speed and token efficiency, MCP for multi-tool integration.

1. WHEN TO USE

Activation Triggers

Use when:

  • User mentions "browser debugging", "Chrome DevTools", "CDP" explicitly
  • User asks to inspect, test, or automate browser tasks with lightweight CLI approach
  • User wants screenshots, HAR files, console logs, or network inspection via terminal
  • User mentions "bdg" or "browser-debugger-cli" explicitly
  • User needs quick DOM queries, cookie manipulation, or JavaScript execution in browser
  • User wants terminal-based browser automation with Unix pipe composability
  • User needs production-ready automation scripts for CI/CD browser testing

Automatic Triggers:

  • "bdg", "browser-debugger-cli" mentioned explicitly
  • "lightweight browser debugging" or "quick CDP access"
  • "terminal-based browser automation"
  • "screenshot without Puppeteer"

When NOT to Use

Do not use for:

  • Complex UI testing suites requiring sophisticated frameworks (use Puppeteer/Playwright)
  • Heavy multi-step automation workflows better suited for frameworks
  • Cross-browser testing (bdg supports Chrome/Chromium/Edge only)
  • Visual regression testing or complex test frameworks
  • When user explicitly requests Puppeteer, Playwright, or Selenium

2. SMART ROUTING

Resource Loading Levels

Level When to Load Resources
CONDITIONAL If intent signals match CLI/MCP/session/troubleshooting
ON_DEMAND Only on explicit request Full diagnostics set
FALLBACK Zero-score routes only Core CDP pattern reference suggested (never auto-loaded)

60 files beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

Changes

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.
