Chrome Debugger MCP
Connects Claude to Chrome via the DevTools Protocol so you can pause execution at breakpoints, inspect actual scope variables, and step through code with runtime facts instead of guessing from static source. Unlike general browser automation tools, this focuses purely on debugging: attach to a specific tab after user confirmation, wait for debugger statements or CDP breakpoints, read locals and closures from paused frames, evaluate expressions in the current call frame, then resume cleanly. The workflow is opinionated to prevent common agent mistakes like guessing which tab to debug or skipping the wait after reloadPage. Useful when you need Claude to investigate runtime behavior in a live web app rather than reason about code statically.

chrome-debugger-mcp
English
An MCP server for breakpoint-driven Chrome debugging.
chrome-debugger-mcp exposes Chrome DevTools Protocol primitives as MCP tools so an AI agent can attach to a real Chrome tab, pause execution, inspect scope values, evaluate expressions inside the current call frame, and step through code with runtime facts instead of guessing from static source.
It is not a general browser automation server. The focus is runtime debugging.
Core Capabilities
- Attach to a real Chrome tab over CDP after explicit user confirmation
- Pause at breakpoints or
debugger;statements and wait for the exact pause you expect - Read local, closure, and module scope values from the paused frame
- Evaluate JavaScript in the current call frame and step execution forward
- Resume cleanly so the agent can continue with actual runtime values
Demo
Demo: the agent launches Chrome, waits for a breakpoint, inspects real scope variables, and resumes with runtime facts instead of guessing.
