Set up Google Chrome on macOS to always launch with the Chrome DevTools Protocol enabled (127.0.0.1:9222) via a Dock launcher app, so local AI agents (Playwright, Puppeteer, browser-use, OpenClaw) can drive the real logged-in browser with no per-connection approval prompt. Use when the user wants to enable a CDP/remote-debugging port for Chrome, pick between the flag, chrome://inspect, and extension routes, connect an agent to Chrome, test a CDP connection, diagnose a 404 from /json/version or…
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# Chrome CDP Setup (macOS Dock launcher) Makes the Dock's Chrome icon launch Chrome with `--remote-debugging-port` so any local agent can connect over CDP. Chrome 136+ ignores that flag on the default profile directory, and the Chrome 144+ `chrome://inspect` toggle that does work there makes a human approve every connection — so the launcher points Chrome at a one-time APFS clone of the real profile. All logins, bookmarks, and extensions carry over at near-zero disk cost, the flags take precedence over the toggle, and nothing ever prompts. Scripts live in this skill's `scripts/` dir; run them with absolute paths (`~/.claude/skills/chrome-cdp-setup/scripts/...`). ## Which route | Need | Route | |---|---| | Unattended agent loop, headless, CI, several tools sharing one browser | **This skill**: flags + a separate `--user-data-dir`, launched from the Dock wrapper. No prompts. | | Real default profile, human at the keyboard, occasional | `chrome://inspect/#remote-debugging` toggle, then `PLAYWRIGHT_MCP_CDP_TIMEOUT=0 playwright-cli attach --cdp=chrome`; the human clicks Allow once per connection. See REFERENCE.md "Approval mode". | …

How to install
mdr add soulmachine/skills/chrome-cdp-setup@sha256:9936f939ea083e66The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260918.efaa428, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
