Intro

BrowserToolsMCP streams browser logs to MCP clients: install via npx, run a local server, and audit network/console events from your IDE (7.2k★).

Best for: Debugging agent-driven browser automation (Playwright, extension flows) when you need visibility into console/network signals

Works with: MCP-compatible IDE clients, Chrome/Chromium, and a separate terminal for browser-tools-server as described in the README

Setup time: 8-20 minutes

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.
