Analysis summary

Chrome DevTools MCP is an officially published MCP server from Google. Anomity scores its risk at 10 out of 100 (low).

An MCP server that connects an agent to a live Chrome instance through the DevTools protocol — inspecting the DOM, reading console output and network requests, evaluating expressions, and profiling performance. It is the debugging counterpart to Playwright's automation focus.

DevTools access is close to total control of the page: script evaluation in a live tab can read anything the page can read, including tokens held in memory and storage. The server declares browser control and outbound network access. The safe pattern is a browser instance started specifically for the agent with no logged-in sessions attached; the dangerous one is attaching it to the browser where you are signed into your cloud console.
