Hi Brave developers,
I built Brave DevTools MCP, an MCP server and CLI that gives coding agents direct access to a locally running Brave instance through the DevTools protocol.
It lets Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, OpenCode, and other MCP clients:
- navigate pages and inspect network/console activity
- take screenshots and accessibility snapshots
- profile performance and investigate memory usage
- launch and inspect PWAs
- use Brave-specific CLI and profile support
It is built from Chrome DevTools MCP upstream and kept in sync while preserving Brave-specific behavior. v1.7.1 is now live on npm and the MCP Registry.
