All captured logs and data are stored locally on your machine and are not sent to any third-party service or API.

How does Browser Tools work with AI clients?

Browser Tools facilitates interaction between AI clients (like Cursor) and browser environments through a Node.js server and Chrome extension, using the Model Context Protocol (MCP).

Browser Tools: AI-Powered Browser Data Analysis

Browser Tools enhances AI capabilities by providing a seamless interface for interaction with browser environments. Through a Chrome extension and a local Node.js server, it captures browser data, console logs, network activity, and DOM elements, making them accessible to AI clients via the Model Context Protocol (MCP). It allows AI tools to perform tasks such as running accessibility audits, performance analysis, SEO evaluations, and debugging, directly from IDEs like Cursor, without sending data to third-party services.
