The DevTools MCP project just recently landed a standalone CLI: https://github.com/ChromeDevTools/chrome-devtools-mcp/blob/m...

Great news to all of us keenly aware of MCP's wild token costs. ;)

The CLI hasn't been announced yet (sorry guys!), but it is shipping in the latest v0.20.0 release. (Disclaimer: I used to work on the DevTools team. And I still do, too)

Love the Mitch Hedberg reference! Thank you! Always good to get a little Mitch!

"One time, this guy handed me a picture of him. He said, "Here's a picture of me when I was younger." Every picture is of you when you were younger. "Here's a picture of me when I'm older.", "You son of a bitch! How'd you pull that off? Let me see that camera!"

The big upside of the MCP is that it connects to already open browser windows. I tried the skill but it always tries to open new windows. Is there a way to get the `--autoConnect` behaviour with the CLI?

It doesn't seem to work, tried the -u flag with the default address and it just couldn't connect to the existing chrome instance.

MCPs cost nothing in CC now with Tool Search.

> MCPs cost nothing in CC now with Tool Search.

This is incorrect. Plenty of people have run the numbers. Tool search does not fix all problems with MCP.
