Main
- Two-part architecture: the README separates the IDE-side MCP server from the standalone
browser-tools-server, which keeps logs flowing even when your IDE restarts. - Audit-first workflow: explicitly designed for auditing (network + console) so you can debug “why did the agent do that” issues.
- IDE friendly: you install the MCP side inside your IDE and keep the server in a separate terminal—simple operational model.
- Release-tracked extension: provides a versioned Chrome extension zip in GitHub releases, making installs reproducible.
FAQ
- Do I need the extension?: Yes. The quickstart requires installing the Chrome extension so the server can receive logs.
- Why run a separate server?: It keeps the log pipeline stable and avoids coupling log collection to your IDE process.
- How do I start safely?: Install first, then run audits on a simple page to confirm you see console + network events.
