Capabilities

What this server is able to do. For an MCP server this is often the job itself — a terminal server runs commands because that is what it is for. Listed so you know what you are plugging in, not as an accusation.

Runs an external command src/browser-session.ts:555, src/index.ts:258

  const proc = spawn(CHROME_PATH, args, { stdio: "ignore" });

Is this your server and something here is wrong? Tell us — corrections are free and do not require a plan.

This code can reach further than it looks

We found places where it runs commands, builds paths or queries from values it is given. None of that is a flaw by itself — it becomes one when the code changes, and code changes quietly between releases. We re-read it on every one.

Connect this server

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.

Browser MCP Cdp — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

Why is there no uptime for Browser MCP Cdp?

Browser 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 browser-mcp-cdp was installed 36 times last week.

How do I connect Browser MCP Cdp?

Copy the ready config from this page — we generate it for Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Codex, Cursor and VS Code, each with the file path that client actually reads. It runs locally, so the command pulls browser-mcp-cdp straight from npm; nothing to host, nothing to sign up for.

How many people use Browser MCP Cdp?

The npm package browser-mcp-cdp was installed 36 times in the last week. Week over week that is +0%. We show installs rather than GitHub stars on purpose: a star is a bookmark, an install is someone actually running it.

Is Browser MCP Cdp open source?

Yes — it is published under the MIT licence, written in TypeScript and 0 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.
