Summary
Chrome DevTools MCP server now allows coding agents to directly connect to active browser sessions, enabling them to reuse existing sessions (including those behind authentication), inspect and manipulate DOM elements, execute JavaScript, and debug issues without requiring users to share credentials or manually reproduce problems. This enhancement addresses a major pain point for developers using AI coding assistants for web debugging tasks.
