Google makes the official Chrome DevTools MCP server. It lets a coding assistant open Chrome, click through your site, read network and console logs, and record performance traces. It runs on your machine, and its setup needs only Node.js and Chrome. Community servers cover narrower jobs, like a one-click Claude Desktop extension, a browser that anti-bot checks miss, or one Chrome shared by many agents.
Good for
- Web developers who want Claude Code or Cursor to debug a page and read its console and network errors
- Performance engineers who want an AI to record a trace and explain what is slow
- QA engineers who want an assistant to click through a flow and take screenshots
- Teams running many agent sessions that need to share one Chrome
Which Chrome DevTools MCP server to use
Use the official Chrome DevTools MCP unless you need something it does not do. Pick benjaminr for a one-click Claude Desktop extension, or the mux server to share one Chrome across agents.

Questions
Is there an official Chrome DevTools MCP server?
Yes. Google's Chrome DevTools team publishes chrome-devtools-mcp, and its README names Claude, Cursor, Copilot and Antigravity as coding agents it works with. It is Apache-2.0 licensed.
Does the Chrome DevTools MCP server work with Claude and Cursor?
Yes. The README lists Claude, Cursor, Copilot and Antigravity, and links setup steps for Claude Code, Cursor and VS Code.
Does Chrome DevTools MCP send my data to Google?
Some. Usage statistics such as tool success rates, latency and environment information are collected by default, and you can turn them off with --no-usage-statistics. Performance tools may also send trace URLs to the Google CrUX API, which you can turn off with --no-performance-crux.
Is it safe to let an AI control my browser?
Take care. The README warns that the server exposes the browser's content to your AI, which can inspect, debug and change any data in the browser or DevTools. Do not share information you do not want the AI to see.
Does Chrome DevTools MCP work with Firefox, Edge or Brave?
Officially it supports Google Chrome and Chrome for Testing only. The README says other Chromium-based browsers may work, but not with a guarantee.
Do I need an API key for Chrome DevTools MCP?
No key is part of the setup. The README's config entry starts the server with npx, and it requires the Node.js LTS version, current stable Chrome and npm. The server starts the browser when a tool needs it.
Can I use fewer tools to save context?
Yes. The official server has a --slim flag that exposes a reduced set of tools for basic browser tasks, according to its README.
Which community server works with Claude Desktop?
benjaminr's chrome-devtools-mcp ships as a Claude Desktop Extension (.dxt) you install from the Releases page. It exposes network, console, performance and storage data from Chrome.
What do the community Chrome servers add?
chrome-devtools-mcp-mux lets many MCP clients share one Chrome with separate tabs. Stealth Chrome DevTools MCP is built on nodriver for anti-bot evasion and is AGPL-3.0 licensed. Chrome DevTools Advanced MCP clones your Chrome profile and lists 96+ tools.
