Nothing serious here today

Today is the operative word: we check MCP Cdp every 15 minutes and re-read its code on every release. Watch it and you find out the day that stops being true.

This server runs on your own machine — install it with the package manager and the client starts it for you. Package name taken from the official registry entry.

Optional settings from the registry entry, left out of the block above: CDP_PORT (The --remote-debugging-port your app/browser exposes (default 9222)), CDP_HOST (Host serving the DevTools endpoint (default 127.0.0.1; non-loopback needs CDP_ALLOW_REMOTE)), CDP_MODE (Access mode: read-only | read-write | admin. Starts read-only; interactions need read-write), CDP_ALLOW_EVAL (Set true to allow the evaluate tool (arbitrary JS) — admin mode only. Default false), CDP_TARGET_ALLOWLIST (Comma-separated URL patterns; interactions are confined to matching targets. Empty = all), CDP_DRY_RUN (Set true to log interactions without dispatching them to the browser).

MCP Cdp — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

Why is there no uptime for MCP Cdp?
MCP Cdp runs on your own machine over stdio — there is no network address to reach, so uptime cannot be measured for it by anyone. What can be measured is adoption: the npm package @dockndevai/mcp-cdp was installed 70 times last week.
How do I connect MCP Cdp?
Copy the ready config from this page. We generate it for Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Codex, Cursor and VS Code, each in the form that client actually reads. It runs locally, so the command pulls @dockndevai/mcp-cdp straight from npm; nothing to host, nothing to sign up for.
How many people use MCP Cdp?
The npm package @dockndevai/mcp-cdp was installed 70 times in the last week. Week over week that is -79%. We show installs rather than GitHub stars on purpose: a star is a bookmark, an install is someone actually running it.
Is MCP Cdp open source?
Yes — it is published under the MIT licence, written in TypeScript and 1 stars on GitHub. The source link is on this page, so you can read exactly what it does with your data before you connect it.
