# Chrome DevTools
Use Chrome DevTools MCP or its experimental CLI for live browser diagnostics. [playwright](../playwright/SKILL.md) owns repeatable end-to-end journeys; [modern-web](../modern-web/SKILL.md) owns platform implementation guidance.
## Setup
Require Node.js LTS, `npm`/`npx`, and supported Chrome. Reuse an available DevTools connection; otherwise follow [agent-mcp](../agent-mcp/SKILL.md) for the active harness. The launch command below uses a reviewed package pin; recheck installed help before updating it.
```bash
npx --yes chrome-devtools-mcp@1.9.0 --isolated --headless --no-usage-statistics --no-performance-crux
```
The MCP client starts that process over stdio. Use a dedicated browser profile. Keep remote debugging on loopback; browser content, network bodies, cookies, screenshots, and traces may expose private data. The two opt-out flags disable MCP usage statistics and CrUX URL lookups respectively.
For shell workflows, the same package exposes `chrome-devtools`; resolve it with `npm exec --yes --package=chrome-devtools-mcp@1.9.0 -- chrome-devtools <command>`. Inspect `status` before starting a daemon, then explicitly start the task's session with `start --workspace="$PWD" --no-usage-statistics --no-performance-crux`. The CLI otherwise starts a persistent daemon automatically and enables unrestricted file access by default. Read `start --help` for the installed flags; do not stop or repurpose another task's daemon.
