Editor's note
BrowserTools MCP is a now-discontinued MCP server that connected AI coding tools like Cursor to a user's Chrome browser through a three-part architecture: a Chrome DevTools extension, a local Node.js middleware server, and an MCP server installed inside the IDE. Together these components let AI agents capture browser console logs, take screenshots, and run Lighthouse-based audits covering accessibility, performance, SEO, and general best practices directly against live pages. A Debugger Mode and Audit Mode batch all relevant tools into sequential runs, and a Puppeteer-driven headless Chrome instance handles JavaScript-rendered pages during audits, staying alive for 60 seconds between calls to reduce overhead. An auto-paste feature in version 1.2.0 pushed screenshots directly into Cursor's agent input field. The project targets web developers who want their AI coding assistant to inspect real browser state without switching contexts, but the repository has been officially marked inactive and the maintainers recommend migrating to an alternative solution.
