The official Chrome DevTools MCP server (~48.9k stars) ships 52 tools across 10 categories, and the useful surface is much wider than the click/type automation everyone uses: 12 memory tools for heap snapshot analysis, 3 performance tools for trace recording, 8 debugging tools including Lighthouse audits, and 4 third-party/WebMCP integration tools. If you are debugging a leak or an INP regression, an agent can now take and diff heap snapshots directly rather than you reading a flame chart — a category of work that was effectively unavailable to coding agents until the memory tools landed. Worth re-reading the tool list even if you installed this server months ago.
