Chrome Lite FAQs

Question 1

What kind of actions can I perform on web pages using Chrome Lite?

Accepted Answer

You can perform a wide range of actions including comprehensive tab management (create, navigate, close, switch), reading page content (text, interactive, accessibility modes), clicking elements by selector or coordinates, typing text, capturing screenshots, and executing JavaScript directly via DevTools Protocol.

Question 2

What is the Model Context Protocol (MCP) and how does Chrome Lite integrate with it?

Accepted Answer

MCP (Model Context Protocol) is a standardized protocol for client-server communication. Chrome Lite integrates with any MCP-compatible client by running its server locally, which then communicates with the Chrome extension, facilitating seamless and standardized automation workflows.

Question 3

What is Chrome Lite and what is its primary use?

Accepted Answer

Chrome Lite is a software tool designed for secure, local Chrome browser automation. It enables users to control Chrome tabs and web content directly from their local machine without relying on remote services, making it ideal for private automation tasks.

Question 4

How does Chrome Lite ensure privacy and security in browser automation?

Accepted Answer

Chrome Lite operates entirely on localhost. It utilizes a dedicated Chrome extension and a local server, ensuring that all browser automation tasks, data, and interactions remain on your machine without remote dependencies, account matching, or external bridges.

Question 5

Can Chrome Lite execute JavaScript even if a website has Content Security Policy (CSP)?

Accepted Answer

Yes, Chrome Lite's `page_eval` tool allows you to execute JavaScript directly via the DevTools Protocol. This powerful capability effectively bypasses Content Security Policies (CSP), providing unrestricted scripting for advanced automation and testing.
