Google's collection of usage statistics for Chrome DevTools MCP is independent from the Chrome browser's usage statistics. Opting out of Chrome metrics does not automatically opt you out of this tool, and vice-versa.

Collection is disabled if `CHROME_DEVTOOLS_MCP_NO_USAGE_STATISTICS` or `CI` env variables are set.

## Update checks

By default, the server periodically checks the npm registry for updates and logs a notification when a newer version is available.
You can disable these update checks by setting the `CHROME_DEVTOOLS_MCP_NO_UPDATE_CHECKS` environment variable.

**Install as a Plugin (Recommended)**

The easiest way to get up and running is to install `chrome-devtools-mcp` as an agent plugin.
This bundles the **MCP server** and all **skills** together, so your agent gets both the tools
and the expert guidance it needs to use them effectively.

1. Open the **Command Palette** (`Cmd+Shift+P` on macOS or `Ctrl+Shift+P` on Windows/Linux).
2. Search for and run the **Chat: Install Plugin From Source** command.
3. Paste in our repository URL: `https://github.com/ChromeDevTools/chrome-devtools-mcp`

That's it! Your agent is now supercharged with Chrome DevTools capabilities.
