Discard the buffers this server holds, so a following get_console_logs / get_network_requests shows only what happens next. Affects this server only: nothing is cleared in Chrome or in the DevTools UI, and capture keeps running — no reconnect or reload is needed. Cannot be undone. Console entries are gone for good, because Console.enable() replays history only at attach time. Cleared network requestIds still resolve in get_network_response_body for as long as Chrome itself holds the body; once Chrome drops it the error says the data was discarded rather than that the id is unknown. Works without a connected tab.

Evaluate a JavaScript expression in the scope of a paused call frame — it reads local variables, closure variables and the current this, which evaluate_js cannot. Only works while execution is paused: when it is not, this returns an error rather than silently falling back to global scope. Results come back as a preview — class name plus a first level of properties, marked … where Chrome truncated it — readable, not parseable as the value. Use get_debugger_state to find frame indices.

Evaluate a JavaScript expression in the page, in global scope, with the same semantics as the DevTools console. Returns the real value when it serialises; objects that cannot (DOM nodes, Errors, Maps, class instances) come back as a preview instead: class name plus a first level of properties, marked … where Chrome truncated it — readable, not parseable as the value. Top-level await works, but an expression that merely RETURNS a promise is NOT awaited — it comes back as a pending Promise, exactly as in the console. The call returns as soon as your expression finishes its synchronous work, before queued microtasks run, so the state triggered by a click is not visible in the same call: put await Promise.resolve() between the click and the read, or read in a second call. At a breakpoint this still evaluates globally and cannot see local or closure variables — use evaluate_at_frame for those. For the element selected in the Elements panel ($0), use get_inspected_element.

Get computed CSS values for the given properties on the element matched by selector.

Return browser console messages and uncaught exceptions, including the history already visible in DevTools before this server connected. Exceptions are reported with their full stack trace (source-mapped when available). Reloading or navigating the page does NOT clear this buffer: output from the old document stays and the new one is appended to it, so an entry carries from when it predates the document showing now. Replayed entries carry no timestamp — Chrome hands its backlog over without one.

Get the debugger state: whether execution is paused, the pause reason, hit breakpoints and the full call stack. A pause is reported whatever caused it. hitBreakpoints lists only breakpoints set through this server, so it is empty at a breakpoint set in DevTools. Positions are 1-based, and source-mapped where the script has a source map. A source-mapped frame also gives compiledUrl/compiledLine/compiledColumn, its position in the loaded script.

Get the full HTML source of the currently connected tab (document.documentElement.outerHTML). Truncated to 20000 characters for large pages; a truncated result ends with a … marker giving how much was cut and the real length of the document, so a short result is never ambiguous between "small page" and "cut off here".

Get the element marked for MCP inspection. To mark an element: select it in the Elements panel, then run window.$0 = $0 in the DevTools console. Returns an error if no element is marked.

Return HTTP requests captured from the connected tab — method, URL, resource type, status, transferred size, duration, initiator, and failure reason. Capture starts when this server connects to the tab: requests issued before that are NOT visible (unlike get_console_logs, which replays pre-connect history). Requests belonging to a previous page are pruned on navigation, mirroring the DevTools Network panel default; the new document request itself is kept. A redirect chain appears as one record per hop, sharing a requestId and distinguished by hop. WebSocket frames are not captured. In a bulk listing, a URL ending in … is truncated and not usable — query its requestId for it in full. size is compressed on-the-wire bytes; canceled marks an abort (e.g. navigating away), usually not a real failure.

Fetch the response body for one requestId from get_network_requests. Bodies are never buffered by this server — they are read from Chrome on demand, and Chrome discards them on navigation or when its own buffer limits are exceeded, so fetch promptly and before navigating away. Chrome stores at most one body per requestId, so for a redirect chain only the final hop has a body. Returns a JSON metadata block, then the body as a separate text block — kept separate so a large body is not JSON-escaped. Metadata carries requestId, base64Encoded (boolean; true when the body is base64, as CDP reports it), byteLength and method/url/status/mimeType, the last four replaced by a note when the capture buffer no longer holds the request, plus truncated: true when the body was cut at 50000 characters. A binary body is never returned: metadata carries omitted and there is no second content block.

Get the URL and title of the currently connected tab, as { url, title }. Still answers while the page is not responding.

Inspect variable values in a call frame scope. Only works when execution is paused. Use get_debugger_state first to find available frame indices.

List breakpoints tracked by this server (set via set_breakpoint). Breakpoints set outside this server (DevTools UI, other CDP clients, prior sessions) are not visible — CDP has no API to enumerate them.

List open Chrome page tabs with their targetIds, titles and URLs. active marks a tab showing on screen — the selected tab of a window that is not minimised or fully covered, so several windows mean several — and is absent if the tab did not answer. connected marks the tab this server acts on; selecting another tab in Chrome does not change it, only switch_tab does.

Navigate the connected tab to a URL and wait up to 30s for the new page's load event — or for execution to pause first, e.g. on a breakpoint the new page hits during startup, in which case the call stack is returned. outcome is "loaded", "paused", "still-loading" (the new page is in place but its load event had not fired by the deadline), "same-document" (only the #hash changed; there is no load to wait for) or "download" (the URL was downloaded and the page did not change). Breakpoints carry over to the new page. Also works while paused, no need to resume first: the pause ends with the old page.

Pause JavaScript at the next statement that runs, and return the call stack if that happens within 2s. On an idle page nothing runs, so the pause stays pending until script next does — a timer, an event, a click — and get_debugger_state reports it once it lands.

Reload the connected tab and wait up to 30s for the new page's load event — or for execution to pause first, e.g. on a breakpoint hit during startup, in which case the call stack is returned. outcome is "loaded", "paused" or "still-loading" (the new page is in place but its load event had not fired by the deadline). Breakpoints carry over to the reloaded page. Also works while paused, no need to resume first: the pause ends with the old page.

Remove a breakpoint by ID. The ID is invalidated; use set_breakpoint to restore (returns a new ID).

Resume execution while paused; it runs until the next breakpoint or pause. Returns at once rather than waiting for one.

Capture a PNG screenshot of the current viewport (the visible page area only — not the full scrollable page, not the browser chrome, not DevTools), or of one rectangle of it with region. Captured at the tab's native pixel size unless you cap it with maxEdge; a capture that was scaled or cut says so in a note beside the image, which for a region also gives the CSS rect the image covers and how many image pixels a CSS pixel became. A tab that is not painting is raised in its window first, which changes which tab is selected there.

Set a breakpoint at a 1-based line (and column) of a file. Name the file with source — a path like "src/App.tsx", or the url of a frame get_debugger_state or get_console_logs reported. Either way the position is mapped through source maps into the code Chrome runs, so that code must already be loaded. url/urlRegex instead take a position in the script exactly as Chrome loads it, so a source-mapped position given to them lands on the wrong line or never binds; use a frame's compiledUrl/compiledLine/compiledColumn. The script need not be loaded yet: an empty resolvedLocations means no loaded script matches yet, and the breakpoint binds when one loads — or never, if the URL is wrong. A source breakpoint is removed once its file changes, so set it again after an edit; the next state or navigation result lists it under droppedBreakpoints. A url/urlRegex breakpoint is kept through edits, so it may then stop on other code, or not at all.

While paused, step into the function the current statement calls, or to the next statement if it calls none. After an event handler or timer callback returns, the step stays in effect: it pauses at the first statement of whatever script runs next, which may be unrelated code. Returns the new call stack, or a note if execution has not paused again within 5s.

While paused, run the rest of the current function and pause in its caller. An event handler or timer callback has no caller, so stepping out of one pauses in whatever script runs next. Returns the new call stack, or a note if execution has not paused again within 5s.

While paused, run the current statement without stepping into the functions it calls, and pause at the next statement. After an event handler or timer callback returns, the step stays in effect: it pauses at the first statement of whatever script runs next, which may be unrelated code. Returns the new call stack, or a note if execution has not paused again within 5s.

Connect this server to another Chrome tab, without bringing it to the front. Breakpoints this server set in the previous tab are removed. A pause there ends, unless DevTools is open on that tab. The console and network buffers are emptied and refilled from the new tab.
