Extensiondev MCP Overview

extensiondev/mcp connects AI clients to local browser-extension development workflows built on Extension.js. Its tools scaffold projects, start development sessions, inspect browser state, evaluate code, test behavior, validate manifests, and create production builds. Local tools cover Chromium-family browsers and Firefox, while Safari supports development and builds on macOS; optional platform tools handle sharing and publishing workflows. Reach for it when an agent needs observable, actionable access to an extension running in a real browser.

Primary Use Cases for Extensiondev MCP:
  • Scaffold a cross-browser extension from a template
  • Inspect a running extension’s DOM, logs, and storage
  • Debug content scripts and extension contexts with live browser evidence
  • Validate manifests and build an extension for production
