Chromewright is a local-first browser automation MCP server built on Chrome DevTools Protocol (CDP). It exposes a real Chrome or Chromium browser to MCP clients over stdio or loopback streamable HTTP, with high-level tools for navigation. Exposed over MCP by the chromewright mcp server, that capability becomes something an assistant can invoke while it works, not something you go and do afterwards.
Everything the assistant can do here goes through one of these:
Prerequisites — The Prerequisites tool exposed by this serverBeing a remote server, there is no local install. You register the endpoint with your client, authorise it once, and the tools appear.
chromewright on your PATH - Chrome, Chromium, or another CDP-compatible browser - An MCP client that supports streamable HTTP or stdio serversPlenty of browser automation servers cover similar ground. The differences that matter in practice are scope of access and how much setup stands between you and a working tool call. Chromewright's toolset — Prerequisites — is a fair guide to whether it matches your workflow. It is maintained by bnomei; worth a glance at recent repository activity before you build anything load-bearing on it.
SyncDev reviews every entry in this directory against the project's own documentation before publishing, and revisits them as servers change.
