Install Brave DevTools MCP in Claude Code, Cursor or VS Code

Add to Cursor

What the publisher says

From the Brave DevTools MCP repository's README, as published. We do not edit it. Read it on GitHub

Brave DevTools for agents

Full Chrome DevTools MCP parity, rebuilt for Brave.

brave-mcp gives Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, OpenCode, and other MCP clients direct access to Brave for browser automation, network and console debugging, performance analysis, screenshots, accessibility inspection, and memory profiling. A standalone brave-devtools CLI is included too.

Install in one command

Claude Code

claude mcp add brave-devtools --scope user -- npx -y brave-mcp@latest

Cursor

cursor --add-mcp '{"name":"brave-devtools","command":"npx","args":["-y","brave-mcp@latest"]}'

Codex

codex mcp add brave-devtools -- npx -y brave-mcp@latest

OpenCode

opencode mcp add brave-devtools -- npx -y brave-mcp@latest

Restart your client, then try this prompt:

Open my app in Brave. Find console errors and failed network requests, inspect the accessibility tree, run Lighthouse, and explain the highest-impact issue.

Why use this instead of Chrome DevTools MCP?

Use Chrome DevTools MCP when your target browser is Chrome. Use brave-mcp when your target browser is Brave and you want Brave-native discovery, profiles, channels, naming, and privacy defaults without giving up upstream features.
