Frequently Asked Questions

What is Chrome DevTools MCP?

MCP server for Chrome DevTools

What tools does Chrome DevTools MCP provide?

Chrome DevTools MCP provides 29 tools including click, drag, fill, fill_form. Each tool can be called by AI agents to perform specific operations.

Is Chrome DevTools MCP safe to use?

We cannot tell you that, and nobody scanning at this scale can. What we did in March 2026 was shallow-clone Chrome DevTools MCP and run five keyword searches over its source: auth identifiers, CORS configuration, rate-limit identifiers, the dependency manifest against a hardcoded list of 18 known-vulnerable packages, and unguarded eval/exec calls. At least one matched — the specific finding is in the scan report on this page. A text search cannot follow a variable, judge intent, or tell you what a server does once it is running, so "nothing matched" is not "safe". What the scan does and does not cover is written out at /mcp/security.
