Devcdp MCP Server
Real Chrome DevTools access for an AI assistant, over MCP. Your assistant reads the console, watches the network, queries the DOM, resolves source maps, sets breakpoints and inspects live variables - so it can tell you why something broke instead of guessing from a pasted error. It runs locally over stdio via the published package.
People who work with chrome devtools, debugging and gemini cli extension and want it reachable from Claude, Cursor, VS Code, or another MCP client. The project is written in JavaScript.
