by jverre
This server interacts with Chrome using the Model Context Protocol (MCP). It provides an MCP implementation independent of Anthropic's library and allows taking screenshots and validating the implementation in Cursor.

What is Chrome MCP Server?
The Chrome MCP Server is a server-side implementation designed to interact with the Chrome browser using the Model Context Protocol. It aims to provide an alternative to the Anthropic-provided MCP library and facilitate screenshot capture and implementation validation within the Cursor environment.
How to use Chrome MCP Server?
The server has two implementations: a demo and a robust one. The demo can be run using uv run uvicorn demo_implementation.main:app --reload and tested with npx @modelcontextprotocol/inspector node build/index.js, connecting to http://0.0.0.0:8000. The robust implementation in app/main.py can be run with mcp run app/main.py --transport sse and tested similarly with the MCP inspector.
