chrome-devtools

chrome-devtools is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from ulises-jeremias/agent-toolkit. It costs 50 tokens per session (2,106 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A connection to a live Chrome browser through Chrome DevTools, the browser's built-in inspection and debugging tools. It can inspect runtime errors, network activity, performance, rendering, and live pages, alongside a separate browser-testing tool.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to investigate browser console messages, network requests, performance traces, rendering problems, screenshots, and other runtime behavior in a live Chrome session.
Why use it?
It helps find problems that are only visible while a page is running, such as console errors, failed requests, slow behavior, or rendering issues. It also gives the coding agent a way to inspect the browser rather than relying only on source code.

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 1 finding 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 4d 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.

Makes network callslowCapability

Not a fault in itself. Listed so you know the mod talks to something, and to what.

`list_network_requests` + `get_network_request` (HAR-like), `list_console_messages` with source-mapped stacks. Prefer over `curl` when JS rendering or auth is involved.

Chrome DevTools

Control and inspect a live Chrome browser via the official ChromeDevTools/chrome-devtools-mcp (chrome-devtools-mcp, Apache-2.0) MCP server. Gives your coding agent the full power of Chrome DevTools for runtime debugging, network inspection, performance analysis, and rendering diagnostics — while playwright-cli remains the primary tool for deterministic interaction and E2E validation.

Complementarity: playwright-cli → deterministic locator/snapshot/assert workflows, multi-tab, traces, screenshots. chrome-devtools → network + console + performance traces + rendering diagnostics + Puppeteer-based reliable automation via DevTools. Do not re-implement Playwright flows via DevTools JSON-RPC; pick the right provider per capability (see decision table).

When to use which provider

Need Use playwright-cli Use chrome-devtools Either
Click / fill / navigate deterministically ✅ locators, snapshot → stable eN refs, fixtures
Take screenshot of rendered state (verification required before declaring UI good) screenshot + trace take_screenshot + rendering inspection
Assert E2E condition / generate test ✅ assertions, e2e-runner specs
Inspect DOM / accessibility tree / computed styles snapshot (a11y-aware) limited ✅ DOM, a11y tree, style inspection
Network requests / console messages / runtime debugging limited list_network_requests, console, source-mapped stack traces
Performance trace / CrUX field data / insights performance_* tools + CrUX
Reliable automation that auto-waits ✅ Puppeteer-based click/type/navigate via DevTools
Extract JS-rendered data quickly ✅ snapshot + CLI loop

Rule for design workflows: design-improvement and design-assessment use playwright-cli for implement → run → capture (primary capture + interaction); pull in chrome-devtools when browser.network / browser.console / browser.performance / browser.runtime-debug is required. Either MCP alone suffices for degraded mode; together they cover implement → render → capture → inspect → compare → iterate.

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.

chrome-devtools is a skill published in the GitHub repository ulises-jeremias/agent-toolkit (16 stars, last pushed today), licensed MIT. It adds 50 tokens to every session and 2,106 once invoked, about $0.0003 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 1 finding (makes network calls). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
