# CLI MCP Configuration Guide
|
|
|
|
This guide explains how to configure Codex CLI and Claude Code to connect to the Chrome MCP Server.
|
|
|
|
## Overview
|
|
|
|
The Chrome MCP Server exposes its MCP interface at `http://127.0.0.1:12306/mcp` (default port).
|
|
Both Codex CLI and Claude Code can connect to this endpoint to use Chrome browser control tools.
|
|
|
|
## Codex CLI Configuration
|
|
|
|
### Option 1: HTTP MCP Server (Recommended)
|
|
|
|
Add the following to your `~/.codex/config.json`:
|
|
|
|
```json
|
|
{
|
|
"mcpServers": {
|
|
"chrome-mcp": {
|
|
"url": "http://127.0.0.1:12306/mcp"
|
|
}
|
|
}
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Option 2: Via Environment Variable
|
|
|
|
Set the MCP URL via environment variable before running codex:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
export MCP_HTTP_PORT=12306
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Claude Code Configuration
|
|
|
|
### Option 1: HTTP MCP Server
|
|
|
|
Add the following to your `~/.claude/claude_desktop_config.json`:
|
|
|
|
```json
|
|
{
|
|
"mcpServers": {
|
|
"chrome-mcp": {
|
|
"url": "http://127.0.0.1:12306/mcp"
|
|
}
|
|
}
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Option 2: Stdio Server (Alternative)
|
|
|
|
If you prefer stdio-based MCP communication:
|
|
|
|
```json
|
|
{
|
|
"mcpServers": {
|
|
"chrome-mcp": {
|
|
"command": "node",
|
|
"args": ["/path/to/mcp-chrome/dist/mcp/mcp-server-stdio.js"]
|
|
}
|
|
}
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Verifying Connection
|
|
|
|
After configuration, the CLI tools should be able to see and use Chrome MCP tools such as:
|
|
|
|
- `chrome_get_windows_and_tabs` - Get browser window and tab information
|
|
- `chrome_navigate` - Navigate to a URL
|
|
- `chrome_click_element` - Click on page elements
|
|
- `chrome_get_page_content` - Get page content
|
|
- And more...
|
|
|
|
## Troubleshooting
|
|
|
|
### Connection Refused
|
|
|
|
If you get "connection refused" errors:
|
|
|
|
1. Ensure the Chrome extension is installed and the native server is running
|
|
2. Check that the port matches (default: 12306)
|
|
3. Verify no firewall is blocking localhost connections
|
|
4. Run `mcp-chrome-bridge doctor` to diagnose issues
|
|
|
|
### Tools Not Appearing
|
|
|
|
If MCP tools don't appear in the CLI:
|
|
|
|
1. Restart the CLI tool after configuration changes
|
|
2. Check the configuration file syntax (valid JSON)
|
|
3. Ensure the MCP server URL is accessible
|
|
|
|
### Port Conflicts
|
|
|
|
If port 12306 is already in use:
|
|
|
|
1. Set a custom port in the extension settings
|
|
2. Update the CLI configuration to match the new port
|
|
3. Run `mcp-chrome-bridge update-port <new-port>` to update the stdio config
|
|
|
|
## Environment Variables
|
|
|
|
| Variable | Description | Default |
|
|
| ---------------------------- | -------------------------------------- | ------- |
|
|
| `MCP_HTTP_PORT` | HTTP port for MCP server | 12306 |
|
|
| `MCP_ALLOWED_WORKSPACE_BASE` | Additional allowed workspace directory | (none) |
|
|
| `CHROME_MCP_NODE_PATH` | Override Node.js executable path | (auto) |
