Installation

Install the package globally to make the chrome-devtools command available. You only need to do this the first time you use it.

npm i chrome-devtools-mcp@latest -g
chrome-devtools status # check if install worked.

Troubleshooting

• Command not found: If chrome-devtools is not recognized, ensure your global npm bin directory is in your system's PATH. Restart your terminal or source your shell configuration file (e.g., .bashrc, .zshrc).
• Permission errors: If you encounter EACCES or permission errors during installation, avoid using sudo. Instead, use a node version manager like nvm, or configure npm to use a different global directory.
• Old version running: Run chrome-devtools stop && npm uninstall -g chrome-devtools-mcp before reinstalling, or ensure the latest version is being picked up by your path.
