π― What is Chrome MCP Server?
Chrome MCP Server is a Chrome extension-based Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that exposes your Chrome browser functionality to AI assistants like Claude, enabling complex browser automation, content analysis, and semantic search. Unlike traditional browser automation tools (like Playwright), Chrome MCP Server directly uses your daily Chrome browser, leveraging existing user habits, configurations, and login states, allowing various large models or chatbots to take control of your browser and truly become your everyday assistant.

First, check the installation location of the npm package you just installed
# npm check method
npm list -g mcp-chrome-bridge
# pnpm check method
pnpm list -g mcp-chrome-bridge
Assuming the command above outputs the path: /Users/xxx/Library/pnpm/global/5
Then your final path would be: /Users/xxx/Library/pnpm/global/5/node_modules/mcp-chrome-bridge/dist/mcp/mcp-server-stdio.js
Replace the configuration below with the final path you just obtained
