Experimental: Debugging Chrome on Android

This is an experimental feature as Puppeteer does not officially support Chrome on Android as a target.

The workflow below works for most users. See Troubleshooting: DevTools is not detecting the Android device for more help for more help.

  1. Open the Developer Options screen on your Android. See Configure on-device developer Options.
  2. Select Enable USB Debugging.
  3. Connect your Android device directly to your development machine using a USB cable.
  4. On your development machine setup port forwarding from your development machine to your android device:
    shell
    adb forward tcp:9222 localabstract:chrome_devtools_remote
    
  5. Configure your MCP server to connect to the Chrome
    json
    "chrome-devtools": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "chrome-devtools-mcp@latest",
        "--wsEndpoint=ws://127.0.0.1:9222/devtools/browser/"
      ],
      "trust": true
    }
    
  6. Test your setup by running the following prompt in your coding agent:
    none
    Check the performance of developers.chrome.com
    

The Chrome DevTools MCP server should now control Chrome on your Android device.
