MCP server for Chrome Web Store extension management. Upload, publish, and manage Chrome extensions directly from Claude Code or any MCP client.
When to Use
Use this MCP when you need to:
- "Upload a new version of my Chrome extension" — build your ZIP and use the upload tool to push it as a draft
- "Publish my extension to the Chrome Web Store" — use publish to submit for review and go live
- "Check the review status of my extension" — use status to see review state, version, and deploy percentage
- "Update my extension's metadata (description, screenshots)" — use update-metadata-ui to change store listing details
- "Cancel a pending submission" — use cancel to withdraw a submission under review
- "Set up staged rollout for my extension" — use publish with staged rollout, then deploy-percentage to ramp up
Tools
API Coverage
This MCP server covers all Chrome Web Store API v2 endpoints:
Additionally, v1.1 API endpoints are available for metadata operations (get, update-metadata), with dashboard UI automation (update-metadata-ui) as the recommended alternative since v1 is deprecated.
