Cdp Toolkit Overview
cdp-toolkit MCP server drives explicitly selected browser tabs through Chrome DevTools Protocol or Firefox WebDriver BiDi. Each call opens one direct connection to one resolved target, enables only needed domains, applies a command timeout, and closes the connection afterward. It exposes everyday browser actions such as navigation, clicking, typing, page inspection, screenshots, script evaluation, and persistent network mocking, with additional tools available through discovery. Reach for it when agents need reliable control of known tabs, especially when several agents share one browser or a stalled page must not block the MCP server.
Primary Use Cases for Cdp Toolkit:
- Drive a named Chrome tab from an MCP-compatible coding agent
- Mock API responses while testing a frontend
- Coordinate multiple agents sharing one browser
- Capture screenshots and inspect pages for test evidence
