If you want to provide capabilities to your coding agents to perform Chrome Dev Tools operations like reading a web page or perform site performance, you can use: https://github.com/ChromeDevTools/chrome-devtools-mcp. This works by exposing skills or capabilities to your agents via MCP, so that your coding agent can perform chrome dev tools operations based on its judgment. For example, if you asked your agent to debug a frontend issue, it can iterate until it’s fixed and verified on the browser.
If you’re using WSL, it’s easy to install chrome:
wget https://dl.google.com/linux/direct/google-chrome-stable_current_amd64.deb
sudo dpkg -i google-chrome-stable_current_amd64.deb
If you encounter dependency issues and reinstall chrome:
sudo apt update
sudo apt install -f
sudo dpkg -i google-chrome-stable_current_amd64.deb
For codex, just add the MCP entry via codex mcp add chrome-devtools -- npx chrome-devtools-mcp@latest. Verify that it’s been added in ~/.codex/config.toml.
