Curupira - MCP Frontend Debugging Tool

License: MIT Docker Pulls npm version PRs Welcome

Overview

Curupira is a Model Context Protocol (MCP) debugging tool that provides AI assistants with direct access to browser DevTools, React state, and runtime debugging capabilities. It bridges the gap between AI assistants and complex frontend applications through Chrome DevTools Protocol.

Key Features

  • 🔍 Chrome DevTools Protocol Integration: Full access to CDP domains (Runtime, Debugger, Network, DOM, etc.)

  • ⚛️ React Application Debugging: Component inspection, props/state analysis, hooks debugging

  • 🎯 State Management: Apollo GraphQL, Zustand stores, XState machines, TanStack Query

  • 🛠️ Framework Support: React Router, Framer Motion, React Hook Form, Vite, Panda CSS

  • 🚀 Multiple Transports: WebSocket, HTTP/SSE, and stdio for different deployment scenarios

  • 📦 Dependency Injection: Clean architecture with comprehensive DI container

  • 🤖 AI-Optimized: Built specifically for AI assistant interaction via MCP

📚 Documentation

Quick Start

Using Docker with Browserless

# Start Browserless Chrome service docker run -d -p 3000:3000 --name browserless browserless/chrome # Start Curupira MCP server docker run -p 8080:8080 -e CHROME_SERVICE_URL=http://host.docker.internal:3000 drzln/curupira:latest

Using npm

# Install globally npm install -g curupira # Start with default configuration curupira start # Or specify a custom config curupira start --config ./config/production.yaml

From Source

# Clone the repository git clone https://github.com/pleme-io/nexus.git cd nexus/pkgs/services/typescript/curupira # Install dependencies npm install # Build the project npm run build # Start the MCP server npm run start # Or run in development mode with hot reload npm run dev

Claude Code Integration

Add to your claude_desktop_config.json:

{ "mcpServers": { "curupira": { "command": "node", "args": ["/path/to/curupira/mcp-server/dist/main.js"], "env": { "CHROME_SERVICE_URL": "http://localhost:3000", "LOGGING_LEVEL": "info" } } } }

Architecture

Curupira follows a clean architecture with dependency injection:

graph TD A[Chrome Browser] -->|CDP WebSocket| B[Browserless Service] B -->|CDP Protocol| C[Chrome Service Layer] C -->|Events| D[Tool/Resource Providers] D -->|MCP Protocol| E[MCP Server] E -->|stdio/HTTP/WS| F[Claude/AI Assistant] G[DI Container] -.->|Injects| C G -.->|Injects| D G -.->|Injects| E

Architectural Layers

  1. Foundation Layer - Branded types, interfaces, error definitions

  2. Core Services - Chrome service, buffer services, validators

  3. MCP Layer - Tool/resource providers, protocol handlers

  4. Application Layer - Server bootstrap, DI container, transport management

Key Components

  • Chrome Service: Manages CDP connections with event-driven architecture

  • Tool Registry: Dynamic tool registration with factory pattern

  • Resource Registry: Provides browser state as MCP resources

  • DI Container: Manages dependencies and service lifecycle

Installation

Prerequisites

  • Node.js 20+ LTS

  • npm 10+

  • Chrome/Chromium browser

  • Docker (optional)

Chrome Extension Setup

  1. Clone the repository

  2. Build the extension: npm run build:extension

  3. Open Chrome and navigate to chrome://extensions/

  4. Enable "Developer mode"

  5. Click "Load unpacked" and select chrome-extension/dist

Server Setup

# Using npm scripts npm run dev:server # Using Docker docker-compose up -d # Using Kubernetes kubectl apply -f k8s/

Usage Examples

Debug Lazy-Loaded Icons

// AI Assistant can request: await mcp.runTool('inspect', { component: 'Icon', props: { name: 'pigeon', lazy: true } })

Analyze GraphQL Errors

// AI Assistant can request: await mcp.runTool('analyzeGraphQL', { operation: 'GetProducts', error: "cannot query field 'products' on type 'Product'" })

Time Travel Debugging

// AI Assistant can request: const recording = await mcp.runTool('timeTravel', { store: 'cart', duration: 30000 })

local-only server

The server can only run on the client's local machine because it depends on local resources.

Enables AI assistants to debug frontend applications by providing direct access to browser DevTools, React state, DOM inspection, and runtime debugging capabilities. Bridges the gap between AI and complex web applications for autonomous debugging and issue resolution.
