## Tools

40 declared. Statically extracted from the shipped source — a floor on the surface, not a census.
- `chrome_devtools`
- `get_console_message`
- `emulate` — Emulates various features on the target page.
- `install_extension` — Installs a Chrome extension from the given path.
- `uninstall_extension` — Uninstalls a Chrome extension by its ID.
- `list_extensions` — Lists all the Chrome extensions installed in the browser. This includes their name, ID, version, and enabled status.
- `reload_extension` — Reloads an unpacked Chrome extension by its ID.
- `trigger_extension_action` — Triggers the default action of an extension by its ID.
- `click` — Clicks on the provided element
- `click_at` — Clicks at the provided coordinates
- `hover` — Hover over the provided element
- `fill` — Type text into an input, text area or select an option from a <select> element.
- `type_text` — Type text using keyboard into a previously focused input
- `drag` — Drag an element onto another element
- `fill_form` — Fill out multiple form elements (inputs, selects, checkboxes, radios) at once. ALWAYS prefer this tool over multiple individual 'fill' or 'click' calls when int
- `upload_file` — Upload a file through a provided element.
- `press_key` — Press a key or key combination. Use this when other input methods like fill() cannot be used (e.g., keyboard shortcuts, navigation keys, or special key combinat
- `lighthouse_audit`
- `take_heapsnapshot` — Capture a heap snapshot of the target page. Use to analyze the memory distribution of JavaScript objects and debug memory leaks.
- `get_heapsnapshot_summary` — Loads a memory heapsnapshot and returns snapshot summary stats, including native contexts and their sizes, and retained by context summary.
- `get_heapsnapshot_details` — Loads a memory heapsnapshot and returns all available information including statistics, static data, and aggregated node information. Supports pagination for ag
- `get_heapsnapshot_class_nodes` — Loads a memory heapsnapshot and returns instances of a specific class with their IDs.
- `get_heapsnapshot_retainers` — Loads a memory heapsnapshot and returns retainers for a specific node ID.
- `close_heapsnapshot` — Closes a previously loaded memory heapsnapshot, freeing its memory.
- `get_heapsnapshot_retaining_paths` — Loads a memory heapsnapshot and returns retaining paths for a specific node ID. This helps to understand why a node is not being garbage collected.
- `get_heapsnapshot_edges` — Loads a memory heapsnapshot and returns outgoing edges (references) for a specific node ID.
- `get_heapsnapshot_dominators` — Loads a memory heapsnapshot and returns the dominator chain for a specific node ID. This helps to identify which objects are keeping the target node alive.
- `compare_heapsnapshots` — Loads two memory heapsnapshots and returns the comparison. If classIndex is provided, returns detailed diff for that class, otherwise returns summary diff.
- `get_heapsnapshot_duplicate_strings` — Loads a memory heapsnapshot and returns duplicate strings grouped by their value.
- `get_heapsnapshot_object_details` — Loads a memory heapsnapshot and returns detailed information about a specific object by its node ID, including size, type, distance, and DOM detachedness.
- `query_heapsnapshot_objects` — Loads a memory heapsnapshot and queries objects matching specific filters (className, propertyName, nodeType, retainedSize, selfSize, isDetached, sortBy).
- `list_network_requests` — Lists the most recent requests for the target page since the last navigation.
- `get_network_request` — Gets a network request by an optional reqid, if omitted returns the currently selected request in the DevTools Network panel.
- `list_pages`
- `select_page` — Select a page as a context for future tool calls.
- `close_page` — Closes the page by its index. The last open page cannot be closed.
- `new_page` — Open a new tab and load a URL. Use project URL if not specified otherwise.
- `navigate_page` — Go to a URL, or back, forward, or reload. Use project URL if not specified otherwise.
- `resize_page` — Resizes the page's window so that the page has specified dimension
- `handle_dialog` — If a browser dialog was opened, use this command to handle it

## Install

This entry has no npm package and no hosted endpoint, so there is nothing for an MCP client to launch or connect to. It is indexed as source only.

## Blast radius

Moderate to extensive — no credential declaration found, from the publisher, the upstream registry, or the README. Known so far: mutates data; 2 privileged tools.
- Floor 21, ceiling 57 (tier: unknown)
- `unknown` means the floor and ceiling land in different bands — not measured enough to name one. It does not mean low.
- This is impact, not likelihood. A high radius is not a defect: a filesystem server is supposed to write files. It is never part of the trust score.
