chrome-devtools

chrome-devtools is a skill for Claude Code from zhang77-X/chrpme_MCP. It costs 55 tokens per session (647 once invoked), scanned A, a copy of chrome-devtools, Apache-2.0.

Instructions for using Chrome DevTools through an MCP connection. Chrome DevTools is a browser inspection tool for viewing pages, interacting with elements, checking network requests, and measuring performance.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use them to debug websites, automate browser actions, inspect requests, capture page information, and investigate performance problems.
Why use it?
They provide a repeatable way to select pages, inspect their structure, wait for content, and debug browser behavior without guessing what the page is doing.

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 9d 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 54 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

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. To enable extensions, use --categoryExtensions. 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.

Testing an extension

  1. Install: Use install_extension with the path to the unpacked extension.
  2. Identify: Get the extension ID from the response or by calling list_extensions.
  3. Trigger Action: Use trigger_extension_action to open the popup or side panel if applicable.
  4. Verify Service Worker: Use evaluate_script with serviceWorkerId to check extension state or trigger background actions.
  5. Verify Page Behavior: Navigate to a page where the extension operates and use take_snapshot to check if content scripts injected elements or modified the page correctly.

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.
