| name: chrome-devtools | ||
| description: Uses Chrome DevTools via MCP for efficient debugging, troubleshooting and browser automation. Use when debugging web pages, automating browser interactions, analyzing performance, or inspecting network requests. | ||
| --- | ||
|
|
||
| ## 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`. | ||
|
|
||
| **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 `uid`s. 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 `uid`s 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. | ||
|
|
||
| ## Troubleshooting | ||
|
|
||
| If `chrome-devtools-mcp` is insufficient, guide users to use Chrome DevTools UI: | ||
