Verified project record

AgentDeskAI/browser-tools-mcp

This project connects MCP-compatible AI clients to browser data for debugging, monitoring, and automated auditing via a Chrome extension. The project is deprecated and no longer maintained, making it unsuitable for active production environments.

Project overview

Project type: MCP · AI Agent
Deployment: Refer to project documentation
License: MIT

Best for

Developers needing a local-only bridge to pass browser console logs, DOM elements, and screenshots to an MCP-compatible AI client for debugging.

Key capabilities

Allows MCP clients to monitor browser console output, capture network traffic, take screenshots, and analyze selected DOM elements.
Runs accessibility (WCAG), performance, SEO, and best practice audits on web pages using Lighthouse and Puppeteer.
Provides modes that execute all auditing or debugging tools in a particular sequence.
Removes cookies and sensitive headers to avoid sending them to LLMs in MCP clients.

Limitations and risks

The project is no longer active.
Currently relies on a Chrome extension, limiting browser compatibility to Chrome.
Because the project is deprecated and no longer maintained, it poses potential security and compatibility risks.

Getting started

Setup involves medium difficulty. Users must install the Chrome extension, configure an IDE, and run the server components using npx commands: first install the extension, then run npx @agentdeskai/browser-tools-mcp@latest and npx @agentdeskai/browser-tools-server@latest.
