CDPM Overview
The CDPM MCP server shares numbered, persistent Chrome instances over Chrome DevTools Protocol (CDP) across Claude Code sessions. It runs locally over stdio, queues commands per tab, and provides tools for navigation, interaction, page inspection, screenshots, downloads, uploads, dialogs, permissions, and agent messaging. Each slot has its own Chrome profile, so logged-in sessions remain available between runs. Reach for it when several agents need shared browser access or when browser tasks must run across multiple isolated Chrome slots.
Primary Use Cases for CDPM:
- Run browser tasks across multiple numbered Chrome sessions
- Reuse logged-in Chrome profiles between automation runs
- Coordinate agents working in separate browser slots
- Inspect, fill, download, upload, and navigate web pages
