- bel8 3mo agoI can speak for Chrome's MCP which I have more experience. devtools MCP will have access to more deep level fetures such as performance profiling, lighthouse and network requests in details (headers, auth, cookies...). For example, I had success using chrome devtools mcp to debug frontend performance issues. The LLM captured and analyzed some nice traces and was able to isolate bottlenecks and unnecessary repaints and reflows.
- elAhmo 3mo agoNetwork request access is really helpful! When having access to both backend and frontend, and then seeing what actual code is requesting and returning can really help with hunting bugs or doing basic QA.
- Syntaf 3mo agoI used the chrome MCP to profile a slow react page at my company, set a /goal and had it iterate until it achieved under 100ms responsiveness to actions. Claude was able to identify the slowness and use various react tricks to fix the specific issues, all without my input. I don’t think the playwright MCP can do this, unless I’m mistaken
