{
  "mcpServers": {
    "aliex7664-puppeteer-debugger-mcp-server": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@aliex7664/puppeteer-debugger-mcp@latest"
      ]
    }
  }
}

You can run a Puppeteer‑based MCP Server to debug web pages, analyze performance, and inspect memory while keeping a persistent browser connection for faster, repeatable testing.

How to use

After you set up the MCP client to connect to the server, you can perform practical tasks such as navigating to pages, capturing console logs, inspecting element states, reviewing cached data, collecting performance metrics, profiling memory usage, and taking screenshots. All actions are invoked through MCP commands sent by your client, enabling automated debugging workflows and performance analysis within a single session.

How to install

Prerequisites you need before installing this MCP server are Node.js version 20 or higher and a Chrome or Chromium browser.

Install and start the MCP server from a configuration snippet that you load into your MCP client. Use the following exact command configuration to enable the server via npx. Then restart your MCP client to begin using the server.

Configuration and examples

The server is configured to run as a MCP server using a persistent browser session created at startup and kept running until the server stops. The configuration uses npx to fetch and run the latest version of the server package.

Config snippet to add to your MCP client configuration:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "puppeteer_dbg": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@aliex7664/puppeteer-debugger-mcp@latest"]
    }
  }
}
