description: Use this skill to write shell scripts or run shell commands to automate tasks in the browser or otherwise use Chrome DevTools via CLI.
|

---
|
||||
|
||||
The `chrome-devtools-mcp` CLI lets you interact with the browser from your terminal.
|
||||
|
||||
## Setup
|
||||
|
||||
_Note: If this is your very first time using the CLI, see [references/installation.md](references/installation.md) for setup. Installation is a one-time prerequisite and is **not** part of the regular AI workflow._
|
||||
|
||||
## AI Workflow
|
||||
|
||||
1. **Execute**: Run tools directly (e.g., `chrome-devtools list_pages`). The background server starts implicitly; **do not** run `start`/`status`/`stop` before each use.
|
||||
2. **Inspect**: Use `take_snapshot` to get an element `<uid>`.
|
||||
3. **Act**: Use `click`, `fill`, etc. State persists across commands.
|
||||
|
||||
Snapshot example:
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
uid=1_0 RootWebArea "Example Domain" url="https://example.com/"
|
||||
uid=1_1 heading "Example Domain" level="1"
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Command Usage
|
||||
|
||||
```sh
|
||||
chrome-devtools <tool> [arguments] [flags]
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Use `--help` on any command. Output defaults to Markdown, use `--output-format=json` for JSON.
|
||||
|
||||
## Input Automation (<uid> from snapshot)
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
chrome-devtools take_snapshot --help # Help message for commands, works for any command.
|
||||
chrome-devtools take_snapshot # Take a text snapshot of the page to get UIDs for elements
|
||||
chrome-devtools click "id" # Clicks on the provided element
|
||||
chrome-devtools click "id" --dblClick true --includeSnapshot true # Double clicks and returns a snapshot
|
||||
chrome-devtools drag "src" "dst" # Drag an element onto another element
|
||||
chrome-devtools drag "src" "dst" --includeSnapshot true # Drag an element and return a snapshot
|
||||
chrome-devtools fill "id" "text" # Type text into an input or select an option
|
||||
chrome-devtools fill "id" "text" --includeSnapshot true # Fill an element and return a snapshot
|
||||
chrome-devtools handle_dialog accept # Handle a browser dialog
|
||||
chrome-devtools handle_dialog dismiss --promptText "hi" # Dismiss a dialog with prompt text
|
||||
chrome-devtools hover "id" # Hover over the provided element
|
||||
chrome-devtools hover "id" --includeSnapshot true # Hover over an element and return a snapshot
|
||||
chrome-devtools press_key "Enter" # Press a key or key combination
|
||||
chrome-devtools press_key "Control+A" --includeSnapshot true # Press a key and return a snapshot
|
||||
chrome-devtools type_text "hello" # Type text using keyboard into a focused input
|
||||
chrome-devtools type_text "hello" --submitKey "Enter" # Type text and press a submit key
|
||||
chrome-devtools upload_file "id" "file.txt" # Upload a file through a provided element
|
||||
chrome-devtools upload_file "id" "file.txt" --includeSnapshot true # Upload a file and return a snapshot
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Navigation
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
chrome-devtools close_page 1 # Closes the page by its index
|
||||
chrome-devtools list_pages # Get a list of pages open in the browser
|
||||
chrome-devtools navigate_page --url "https://example.com" # Navigates the currently selected page to a URL
|
||||
chrome-devtools navigate_page --type "reload" --ignoreCache true # Reload page ignoring cache
|
||||
chrome-devtools navigate_page --url "https://example.com" --timeout 5000 # Navigate with a timeout
|
||||
chrome-devtools navigate_page --handleBeforeUnload "accept" # Handle before unload dialog
|
||||
chrome-devtools navigate_page --type "back" --initScript "foo()" # Navigate back and run an init script
|
||||
chrome-devtools new_page "https://example.com" # Creates a new page
|
||||
chrome-devtools new_page "https://example.com" --background true --timeout 5000 # Create new page in background
|
||||
chrome-devtools new_page "https://example.com" --isolatedContext "ctx" # Create new page with isolated context
|
||||
chrome-devtools select_page 1 # Select a page as a context for future tool calls
|
||||
chrome-devtools select_page 1 --bringToFront true # Select a page and bring it to front
|
||||
```

||||
|
||||
## Emulation
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||

```
|
||||
|
||||
## Network

|
||||
```bash
|
||||
chrome-devtools get_network_request # Get the currently selected network request
|
||||
chrome-devtools get_network_request --reqid 1 --requestFilePath req.md # Get request by id and save to file
|
||||
chrome-devtools get_network_request --responseFilePath res.md # Save response body to file
|
||||
chrome-devtools list_network_requests # List all network requests
|
||||
chrome-devtools list_network_requests --pageSize 50 --pageIdx 0 # List network requests with pagination
|
||||
chrome-devtools list_network_requests --resourceTypes Fetch # Filter requests by resource type
|
||||

|
||||
## Debugging & Inspection
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
chrome-devtools evaluate_script "() => document.title" # Evaluate a JavaScript function on the page
|
||||
chrome-devtools evaluate_script "(a) => a.innerText" --args 1_4 # Evaluate JS with UID arguments
|
||||
chrome-devtools get_console_message 1 # Gets a console message by its ID
|
||||

|
||||
chrome-devtools list_console_messages --pageSize 20 --pageIdx 1 # List console messages with pagination
|
||||
chrome-devtools list_console_messages --types error --types info # Filter console messages by type
|
||||
chrome-devtools list_console_messages --includePreservedMessages true # Include preserved messages
|
||||
chrome-devtools take_screenshot # Take a screenshot of the page viewport
|
||||
chrome-devtools take_screenshot --fullPage true --format "jpeg" --quality 80 # Take a full page screenshot as JPEG with quality
|
||||

||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Extensions
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
chrome-devtools list_extensions # Lists all the Chrome extensions installed in the browser
|
||||
chrome-devtools install_extension "/path/to/extension" # Installs a Chrome extension from the given path
|
||||
chrome-devtools uninstall_extension "extension_id" # Uninstalls a Chrome extension by its ID
|
||||
chrome-devtools reload_extension "extension_id" # Reloads an unpacked Chrome extension by its ID
|
||||
chrome-devtools trigger_extension_action "extension_id" # Triggers the default action of an extension by its ID
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Experimental Features
|
||||
|
||||
Experimental tools are disabled by default. Enable them with the corresponding flag during `start`.
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
chrome-devtools click_at 100 200 # Clicks at the provided coordinates (requires --experimentalVision=true)
|
||||
chrome-devtools screencast_start # Starts a screencast recording (requires --experimentalScreencast=true and ffmpeg)
|
||||
chrome-devtools screencast_stop # Stops the active screencast
|
||||
chrome-devtools list_webmcp_tools # List all WebMCP tools (requires --categoryExperimentalWebmcp=true)
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Service Management
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
chrome-devtools start # Start or restart chrome-devtools-mcp
|
||||
chrome-devtools status # Checks if chrome-devtools-mcp is running
|
||||
chrome-devtools stop # Stop chrome-devtools-mcp if any
|

# Installation
|
||||
|
||||
Install the package globally to make the `chrome-devtools` command available. You only need to do this the first time you use it.
|
||||
|
||||
```sh
|
||||
npm i chrome-devtools-mcp@latest -g
|
||||
chrome-devtools status # check if install worked.
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Troubleshooting
|
||||
|
||||
- **Command not found:** If `chrome-devtools` is not recognized, ensure your global npm `bin` directory is in your system's `PATH`. Restart your terminal or source your shell configuration file (e.g., `.bashrc`, `.zshrc`).
|
||||
- **Permission errors:** If you encounter `EACCES` or permission errors during installation, avoid using `sudo`. Instead, use a node version manager like `nvm`, or configure npm to use a different global directory.
|
||||
- **Old version running:** Run `chrome-devtools stop && npm uninstall -g chrome-devtools-mcp` before reinstalling, or ensure the latest version is being picked up by your path.
